Affordable mini Filtertron clones

They are really affordable, and putting them in my Höfner brightened up the tone of that guitar. With right settings they sound really similar to Gretsch Filtertrons.

Greetings. Thank you for your review. I am somewhat unclear about the dimensions, but found it interesting you fit yours in a Hofner. Do you think they would fit in my Conrad guitar (preferably still allowing for the tortoise surrounding the pickups)? https://imgur.com/6CJyCCF

I don't think they will fit in your Conrad guitar. The only reason they fit my Hofner Ignition guitar is that I own the new variant from Hofner that uses standard sized mini humbuckers. If my guitar was one of the vintage Hofner Ignition guitars then they wouldn't have fit in it. For Conrad I will recommend you to contact Josh Parkin Guitars, they make custom built pickups in non-standard sizes.

Noisy footswitch

Works good for my needs but the footswitch is noisy.

Unique sounding analog delay

There's something different about this analog voiced delay pedal. It's sounds so warm and vintage, I've seldom heard any other analog voiced delay pedal sound like it. It sounds almost as good as a real BBD delay.

Great quality analog chorus and vibrato pedal

It sounds great and looks funky too, and compared to other analog chorus and uni-vibe pedals it's way more affordable. Of course it's not an optical uni-vibe but nevertheless it sounds great.

Goodness of Rangemaster without the hassle.

I love how this pedal uses Op-Amps instead of Germanium transistors but still sounds similar to Rangemaster pedals. I run it easily with my pedalboard power supply and it isn't temperamental like the original Rangemaster and other Rangemaster clones.

Decent guitar but requires few mods.

The guitar is decent for its price and looks unique too. However the pickups were dark and muddy so I replaced them with a pair of GFS Nashville Minitron pickups, replaced stock bridge with roller bridge and replaced the stock tailpiece with a vibrato tailpiece. Now the guitar sounds nice.

Best amp ever made.

I have the Vox AC30C2X amp that I purchased used from Reverb. It sounds beautiful thanks to its Celestion Blue speakers and it looks pretty too. I also got the effects loop on my amp modified from true bypass to buffered bypass by Voodoo Amps, now it works great with my pedals too.
