New Pedal Releases

MORE Skreddy pedals please. 🤘 And I’ll probably get slammed for this but I always wondered why there was no PPCB Box of Rock/59 Sound crossover board since they’re just a few parts different. They’re easy and both sound good.


Didn't realise they were so close!

Two caps and two resistors difference. Ol' Zach's a great recycler, built an empire on one circuit. Add, repeat, modify, repeat = 💲💲💲💲💲

A 4PDT toggle and you'd be able to have:
BoR<📍>'59​
With little more mods, you've also got the Distortron!


BUILD ONE PEDAL, HAVE A TRIO OF CIRCUITS WITHIN. Kinda like those cool PCBs from Moonn (and others) that give you 3–5 flavours of Devi Ever...
 
JHS Double Dragon - Analog Octave Up / Octave Down

This look a lot like the Beetronics Whoctahell, only without the fuzz circuit. The Pedal PCB version is pretty rad. On the topic of octaves, 3 Leaf Audio Octavbre V2 was the best octave Ive owned.

Comes with... Skullsistors. 🧐

"Dr. No’s own transistors, never before seen in the world of tone devices. Dr. No’s custom-crafted Skullsistors form the 3 hearts of this ancient beast. Only a limited series was produced, making each KUKULCAN a rare gem. Merely 100 of these KUKULCAN handcrafted masterpieces will be brought to life, each one a testament to Dr. No’s handmade craftsmanship. Each KUKULCAN houses 3 Dr. No Skullsistors. The Skullsistors are an original registered intellectual property and invention by Dr. No Effects in 2025."

DR NO STOLE MY PEDAL-NAME! 😾

Oh well, he stole his own name, too.

hahahaha-hehe.webp


I usually dig Dr No's pedals.
 
Who the hell seats caps like that? Did they forget to solder the parts, too?
I wondered the same thing… maybe it's in preparation for that weird dunk soldering thing EQD does? saw a GIF of it on here, but don't remember where…

Being that I never heard of the pedal maker version of No before, I am not sure if any of this is hyperbole or whatever. Anyway, a bit from a reputable website's interview with the guy, via Google Translate, because it's a bit much...

"At that time, sometime between 2009 and 2013, Dr. No was an icon. The world was at his feet, just as his pedals were at the feet of world stars. Paul McCartney was interested, Brian May of Queen wanted a signature Dr. No pedal from Eindhoven. "They all wanted something from me, but it was a huge slog. I'd partnered with distributors from all over the world, and it was such a huge commercial success that I had to make thousands of pedals. But I only made €7.50 each. I stopped sleeping, I started living a very unhealthy lifestyle, and became incredibly depressed while doing what I'd dreamed of for years. I became so depressed that I didn't really feel like doing it anymore."

Crying, he called one of the distribution directors. "I don't feel happy here, I'm sick. I want to quit." His response was impersonal and harsh. "That's fine." So now we say goodbye.' A day later, a legal letter arrived: whether Dr. No would pay 85,000 euros to buy out the contract. The Spanish distributor also filed claims, and shortly after, the American distributor followed suit with a barrage of financial threats. 'Woah... shit... I didn't have money to buy new jeans, I was behind on my rent, while those guys could have bought a new Audi. It didn't feel right. They wanted to completely fleece me, thinking: then he has no choice, then he has to come back. That's how the industry works, it's awful.'

So, Dr. No decided to go bankrupt and start over. He was furious about it, he felt damaged. 'I'd developed such an aversion to the entire industry that I thought: I'm going to provoke! I'm going to destroy myself! I'm going to make the worst, dirtiest, shittiest pedal ever! Fuck you! I'm just going to take a shit. A pile of shit you have to step on. I hope NO ONE buys it.

Well, who comes up with that, a fuzz pedal shaped like a turd? Dr. No, that is, along with his good friend Peter van Elderen. He pauses, chuckles. "Well... that was a real FUCKING success. Honestly, I've never sold so much shit of any other effect. Bizarre. I sent boxes full of pedals to Japan; two are even on display in the shit museum in Yokohama. I had to stop making all the other pedals and just make turds. I asked my family to help me, I asked my partner. Even now: if I make them, they're gone immediately. I can't get enough of them."
 
I tried looking up any patents for the skullsistors, until I realized it just said "registered intellectual property", so... I guess it's more that he owns the idea of putting skull-shaped gloop on transistors.

I did run into this though , for whatever it's worth. The links are mostly dead now, so there's not much details on what it is, but yeah. I would avoid them based on this, if I wasn't already avoiding them based on the prices and the general tackiness that just screams "form over function". Not to mention nitpicky stuff like having a knob labeled "Fenrir" on a Necronomicon styled fuzz.

Derailing the thread further: While it might sound alien to kids today, I grew up in a time where you could have both friends on the left and the right and have fun together; there just wasn't this battle of opinions. Disagreeing didn't matter much. As such I still try to maintain an open, while sitting in the middle of it (where I suppose actual solutions lay). So where I can listen to good politically charged music (not the bad stuff that only got traction due to its politic stance), be it left or right, I do draw the line when people go into the whole anti germ theory, antivax, anti-whatever stuff. I had to delete some artists because of it. As such, Dr. No therefor is suddenly of no interest to me...

I've heard of Dr. No..... The Turd Fuzz is still on my wishlist.

Wasn't aware of any of the other stuff, but then I avoid those type of topics, and Dr's named No, and folks who make pedals that literally look like a pile of poop.

..... it is, still, however, unfortunately, on my wishlist .... :ROFLMAO:
