The Pompeii

[Big Monk]

Here is the first production model of my flagship: The Pompeii.



Really happy with the way this came out, although I have a few small tweaks to make when I do the first production run.

I love your choice in components. This has top notch quality written all over it.

Im a huge fan of the round top soft switch as well. Just beautiful!

Thank you!

How’s that Big Monk Pi treating you?

Thank you!

It’s still running as strong as it did when I got it! I choose this over any other Big Muff I have when I want to play one!

I love it man. The pedal has proven itself period.

What a build! I was going to highlight some of the particular aspects that really impressed me, but that would require writing a detailed description of every aspect of the pedal. It's all just so nicely and thoughtfully done.

I was already craving a corn dog. Then you have to go and drop all those Dale resistors on us.

Looks absolutely amazing... absolutely top notch build... I'm hoping my next in-house design comes out that nicely (though I'll probably stick with Yageo / KOA Speer rather than Vishay Dales for the resistors... )

Demo? Or are the socks in the wash?…

 

[VanWhy]

A fantastic build all around. Bravo

I’m working on rewiring my amp. Need to stop by the local shop for rectifier diodes tomorrow so sometime this week.

 

[Gordo]

Superb build and execution. You had me at styrene caps…

You might want to clean that little guy out of there if you haven’t yet

Yup. It’s one of the clipped header pins for the I/O board!

 

[Guilherme Collateral]

That looks awesome! Congratulations on the great looking pedal

I want one! This is your FF variant, with all the cool buffer and tweaks? Cause I've been jonesin' for one! When are these ready for prod?

 

[Feral Feline]

Most impressive, indeed!

They are ready now with a few tweaks for final fitting that I’ll take care of when I reorder boards and enclosures for the run.

Going to do some demos and release the pre-order form.

This is really looking great. I look forward to the demo.

The sausage resistors on the bypass relay are comical! You could make the relay SMT and hide it on the side where people can’t see..

Any reason you went with 60 series over 55? Really lovely board configurations; you’ve put a lot of thought into every aspect of it.

Woo hoo, that looks incredible!
