Nocturne Dyno Brain

Yes I’ve got one and sometimes use it usually playing my Tennessee Rose prompts me to put it on the board for a while. It does work nicely with Tele.

I’m using a Unit 67 mostly now and That provides a similar sparkle and boost but with compressor too and I prefer it.

 

hey Bob

I have the Pescadoro, which is tweakable octal preamp sound with tweakable and unique plate reverb



I've had it for a month or so and think it's fantastic

it plays best with a mid-scooped clean amp because what it adds is the fat mids, the grits and gravy

I tried it with an amp with flatter eq and found it was verging on too much

with a Fendery amp and moderate strength single coils, it's perfect and makes me want to try everything Tavo makes

his customer service was fast, responsive, and above and beyond

really happy customer

PS it's also predictably great with my Gretsch HS Filtertrons

 

I had a Dyno Brain, and then I graduated to an Atomic Brain, and currently I'm running a Mystery Brain, that has that circuit in it

just awesome

 

How does that Pescadoro differ from the JR Barnyard ?

 

it is the Jr Barnyard, but with Chess Records style reverb

it turns my little Quilter and cab into a pretty convincing EH-150

 

yeah, damn

that's a whole lotta roots music in one finely-tuned box!

 

That Pescadoro is something too!

Damn, now i want one.

That and the Mystery Brain in tandem, I mean, what else could a guy possibly want?

 

yes the Pescadoro combines the Jr Barnyard with those reverbs

I have an MXR Memory Toy Nano or TC Echobrain for analog delay, but it sure is tempting to sell them and go all in on the Mystery Brain

but the real reason is that Tavo is so knowledgeable about roots sounds and has such great ears. He tunes these pedals so well ...

 

Yeah I've gotta keep telling myself that i have enough tremolo pedals, and I so do not need his Nailhead

If he woulda included trem on the Mystery Brain, rather than that photocell modulation deal, I woulda been one happy camper let me tell you

 

I got the Nocturne stuff down. I had several Atomics, a Dyno, a Jr Barnyard, and a Mystery Brain. Sold them all except the MB, which is my for-life pedal. Great stuff.

 

I am much too smart to think that owning that pedal would make me sound like RJ Ronquillo. *repeats under breath 1,000 times while searching for pedal on Reverb*

See above.

 

What can you tell me about the guy? I only know his Nocturne clips.
I mean, my google skills are fine, but I'd rather hear what a fellow coolguy has to say
Thanks!

 

Here is a pic of jr. barnard's son and grandson playing like the jr. barnyard!

One of my friends is related to them, I sent him a link to the jr. barnyard and he sent this back...

 

Honestly, I first heard him doing demo clips for Eastwood guitars, and I was blown away. The fact that I said JJ when his name is RJ shows how little I know of him. Since then, I’ve watched a bunch of clips of him or RJ and the Del Guapos on the YouTubes, but that’s all I got.

 

Mystery Brain through DRRI blackface
Gretsch Gibson Nash T63
It’s a staple for my tone
I also have a Detroit Casket for a little more dirt and an Earthquaker Dunes for lots of dirt
