Before:
The Paul Dean Pro was a prototype guitar of a potential future series with Odyssey Guitars in 2021 when Paul and Odyssey worked together once again. The guitar was never released and only one actual "Paul Dean Pro" is known to actually exist - the one Paul Dean owns/owned. The guitar was used exclusively on the 2022 Unzoomed Tour with REO Speedwagon and STYX, and was retired quickly at the end of 2022 when Paul started using a custom Godin model instead.

The remaining prototypes and custom builds from this project were sold and marketed under a different name.

Before:
The Odyseey Paul Dean guitar - pre-release known as the "Dean Machine" - was released in 1982 by Attila Balogh's company Odyssey guitars in Vancouver B.C. on a limited basis (only 50 ever made). These guitars were based on the final revision of the home-built originals of Loverboy/Streetheart guitarist Paul Dean. A year later, Hondo guitars, then based in Texas (who farmed all manufacturing to Korea, China, and Japan), released a lower-cost, Japanes (later Korean) made version of this guitar that was almost identical in larger scale as a part of Hondo's Designer Series (but still not enough to be common).

The Odyssey Paul Dean guitar features - 24.75" 3 piece Maple neck with maple 21 Fret fretboard, "resonance slots" 1/4" parallel to truss rod, 10 Degree headstock tilt and straight string path for excellent tuning - Ash or Maple one or two piece body "tuned" and chambered for resonance - 2 DiMarzio DP104 Sealed Humbucker pickups, 8.4K Ohms, Ceramic Magnets, neck and Bridge positions - 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3-way pickup selector - Black haircell plastic "anti-scratch" pickguard - Leo Quan Badass wraparound Bridge - Transparent Red Finish - Hardshell Case

Of the 50 made, one or two went to Paul Dean himself, 3-5 of them to friends/family, and the rest were split in half - one half going to local Vancouver guitar shops, the other half going to Charity/Benefits/Giveaways/Promotions.

The slim mahogany neck and 16" radius Richlite fingerboard mirror the feel of a steel-string guitar, making it accessible for players transitioning between styles.

At the heart of this instrument lies the custom RMC transducer pickup system. This advanced setup captures the acoustic essence with remarkable detail and offers a 13-pin synth connector, unlocking a world of sonic possibilities with guitar synthesizers like Roland's GR-Series. Whether you're exploring Latin rhythms or venturing into global music styles, the ACS excels in delivering rich, dynamic tones.

Visually, the figured maple top is an eye-catching feature, while the classical slot tuners and dual-action truss rod ensure precise tuning and stability. The Godin Multiac ACS isn't just a guitar; it's a versatile tool that bridges the gap between tradition and technology, enhancing your musical journey.

Before:
Yung Mann Fuzz is an exact clone of the vintage Univox Superfuzz with the tone bypass switch removed as built for Kurt Cobain by his guitar tech Ernie Bailey.

Its aggressive and brash, not for the faint at heart. Perfect for Fecal Matter or Mudhoney!

It has UV printed labels, is true bypass, uses 9v center negative dc 2.1mm power, and has vintage germanium diodes installed. Like all vintage Univox its light on output with unity gain between 8-10 on the dial. Meant to be cranked.

It has the trimpot installed in later superfuzz models internally to dial the transistor matching bias, useful for more or less octave rectification effect.

Built by hand in small batches, more designs coming soon.

Revised item description. Show revisions
Before:
Commando is a clone of the Randall Commander Amplifier's PREAMP section only, with some slight mods.

Designed by Don Randall while working at Fender approximately 40 years ago this is the best sounding solid state analog fender preamp I have heard.

The preamp gain has been tweaked for a smooth sweep and "light crunchy clean" at maximum VOLUME (gain.) Don't expect much dirt from it.

The B/M/T tonestack is familiar to most and the Master sets the output level.

The "CHANNEL" switch is actually a diode clipping switch:

Up is LESS

Middle is NONE

Down is STOCK

This SUBTLY changes the compression and clipping characteristics allowing you to dial in whatever crystal clean (NEVERMIND) or lightly crunchy clean tones you like while also taking a DS-1, or other distortion pedals EXTREMELY well. These changes are most noticeable with the VOLUME (gain) set to max.

The pedal is DC CENTER NEGATIVE and can use 9-24V.

Do NOT use reverse polarity or MORE voltage. Will DESTROY your pedal permanently.

The real amp used 24V! 18V is what I recommend for most people and 9V is still fine, especially if looking for the most possible crunch. I recommend Cioks power supplies.

A Randall or Fender amp is:

PREAMP->POWERAMP->SPEAKER/CAB

All three sections add some distortion and color. Therefore you cannot expect Commando to have as much dirt/crunch or the same frequency response unless used in context properly.

You'll want to use a solid state power amp that can add some dirt color, (EHX or DUNCAN come to mind), or a tube poweramp (my favorite) to achieve the same crunch levels as the Dale Demos and a cab/speaker similar to the Randall's G12-70 speakers.

Alternatively you can plug Commando directly into your amplifiers FX LOOP RETURN.

Commando can be used in front of an amp but we recommend using the most neutral settings possible on the amps EQ. For fender style amps this is middle set to maximum and bass and treble set at minimum.

Commando can also be used for direct recording into your DAW with a fender style POWERAMP simulation and also CAB simulation.

You can also use something like a

"2notes CABM+" or "Tonex ONE" for a power amp and speaker simulation to connect DI to the House system for an amp less setup LIVE.

I recommend starting with all KNOBS set to "6" and the CHANNEL selector DOWN in the STOCK position.

X

You may be familiar with the Albini mix of HSB. If not, you'll want to go listen before continuing.

Kurt and Krist had a difference of opinion over this effect on the solo and eventually, Kurt conceded and removed it, however it was his original vision.

I fell short in my attempts to recreate this effect for my tribute band. I subsequently researched as much as I could about the original Pedal X, as designed by Mr Bill.

I also absorbed as much as I could from Aaron Rash's extremely short demo; Albini's estate and Private Collector Aaron Rash own two of the five in existence.

I spent countless hours scouring ring mod schematics I suspected could have been the starting point for Mr. Bill's DIY circuitry. Eventually I had an epiphany on an alternate topology and went that way.

While X is NOT a clone by any means, I think it's an excellent dirty ring mod tremolo thing, that well cops the solo tone and does much more. Clean tremolo sounds, dirty ring mod-ish, and even clean or dirty jfet boost tones are available.

Place X last in the signal chain before the amp. The more effect you blend in, the more level you'll want to use, as perceived output will decrease.

Subtle goes from a pulsing tremolo to a vibrato like warble. Bold will take you to extreme ring mod type sounds.

Inside the pedal, you'll find two dip switches, these are two sets of clipping diodes. feel free to set them to your taste for cleaner or dirtier tones.

The real X seems to have as much dirt as both switches on. You'll use level to compensate and plenty of boost is available to reach unity for any choice.

You may use 18V for increased headroom, but no more. Permanent damage will occur.
