This guy seems to have created his own version of Ric-o-sound - anyone ever have any dealings with him?

Yep - nice guy. Made me a replacement 4005 pick guard.

Good website. Seems personable. And he's got some Ricks in stock!

A bit of a steep price. It looks suspiciously like the box I built for about $10 and 1/2 hour of labor.

Like lots of things, those who can do, don't buy! They simply do it themselves.

Speaking of Ric-o-Sound... how many people use the stereo jack? And what amps are you going out to?

So far I've just been using the mono jack, but there is probably a whole world of possibilities I'm missing.

I've always just used a stereo lead and plugged into the normal and top boost inputs on my AC30. Gives a few more options on sound. I did try splitting through a fender twin and the AC30 with a slight delay between them. Sounded great, but my back gave way carrying them to gigs! I felt my audience didn't fully appreciate the subtle difference.

I only tried Ric O Sound for the first time the other day. I went through a Vox Cambridge 15 and a Crate V15. The Crate V series a great tube amp for the money, by the way.

I thought the sound, overall, was better. Not a huge difference, but definitely noticeable enough that I'll probably try it again. The loss of other tonal controls while using it is a limitation, though (switch and 5th knob).
