Does anybody have any experience w/ Champion Leccy Effects?

[chankgeez]

Did a search here. Nuthin' came up.

I am most interested.

I found some "Pedal of the Day" videos for 'em. So, I know at least someone has tried 'em.

Love the artwork on those. Reminds me of Mike Judge.

 

[chankgeez]

Yeah, the artwork is great. Certainly part of the appeal.

Going by the videos, I think they're capable of making some seriously messed-up sounds as well.

Apparently, he has a new one-knob fuzz out now:

OK, so, it seems clear that nobody has played any of these pedals.

Has anybody here even heard of this company before?

I refuse to believe these guys aren't British. Fat Gett, Divvy and Champion Leccy is about as Northern English as slang/insults get. But Reverb says they are in the US!

 

[chankgeez]

Maybe he's a Brit living in the U.S. or maybe he's just a massive Anglophile?

Entirely possible.

They do look cool...

Never heard of them and I binge click on new pedal companies. Doesn’t mean they aren’t legit tho, someone’s gotta try it (TOFTT the kids say I believe). Graphics are cool and sounds seem to get weird if that’s your thing

Maybe the whole pedal line is one big piss-take.

Has anybody else listened to any of these demos?

Builder just uploaded this vid & this dirty boost sounds pretty good to me:

 

[Champion Leccy]

aye, that's me!

Firstly, aye, I'm a Geordie.
Secondly I live in Philadelphia now.
Thirdly, I'm amazed and extremely chuffed that anyone even noticed I'm making pedals!

I do everything myself, from breadboarding and design to hand painting and assembly (apart from manufacturing the PCBs of course). I only started selling last April. My focus is noisy fuzzes and other noisy things. I do some blog posts about how effects pedal design on my website (championleccy.com)

I've got 5 pedals out at the minute, and 5 more projects on the way soon.

I'm also more than answer any and all questions.

Ended up getting The Gett.

Been following your R&D progress with the Sausage Fingers on YouTube:



Interested in everything you build/are gonna build.

Thanks man! I really appreciate it.

I've sent off for the prototype PCBs for sausage fingers, so if everything goes according to plan, they should be out in spring. I've just posted a new vid of the synth mod I popped in sausage fingers at the last minute.

I'm also working on
the hand samwitch - a noise maker based on the Atari punk console
the divvy (V2) - with a three-way voicing switch
the numpty - two divvies in one enclosure

and a few other crazy/noisy things.

I'm going to try and keep youtube and the website updated a bit better this year, so there should be plenty more coming soon!

2018 looking like a Champion year--I'm loving my v. 1 (soon to be collectable, haha) Divvy #3!

It's pretty much perfect as is, but still psyched to see where you go next with the circuit.



OK, gotta go; my phone's keyboard is glitchin' like Max Headroom on TGP these days....

Another Divvy fan here. I purchased the "zombie grump" unit. It perfectly imbues other gain sources with various shades of doomy Percolator grind. Champion Leccy is good stuff.

Thanks man, that's awesome!

The version two doesn't deviate too much, it just has a couple of different voicing options. I'll be doing them with the switch on the outside and a slightly smaller knob, but I got a few boards made with an internal switch too. If you like, I can always swap the old circuit out for a new one, or if you can solder, it'd be a simple swap.

Cheers pal!

I'm really happy that people like it. It means a lot to me to get such positive feedback. The zombie grump was one of my favourites actually.
