Lifelong metalhead here. By the age of three I was getting my dad to constantly put on his Black Sabbath records. For my 4th birthday in 1976 he bought me Kiss Destroyer on vinyl that had come out a few months prior. So many forms of metal through the years.. Proto-doom, glam, hair, punk...

Knobs (I may or may not have dozens of knobs sitting there, taunting me to build pedals for them all, but I think I need some more), pre-bond hookup wire, Lumberg jacks, and a bunch of different colored heatshrink so I can properly color coordinate.

Over the last year or so my musical tastes have definitely slowed down and firmly embedded into the doom/stoner/sludge area of things, but damn.. I usually don't pay much attention to deathcore, but I am so blown away by Lorna Shore right now. Musically they're combining the intense blast beats...

I'll go in a very different direction and say pretty much anything from the goregrind and gore metal sub-genres. Yes, the themes being explored are typically anything but laughable, and I'll admit that I love listening to bands like Carcass, Exhumed, and Cattle Decapitation, but when you read...

Will definitely be learning along with this! Already have a breadboard, jumpers, and whatnot. Now to learn how to properly read a schematic and dive into it.

Surf and doom. Not a combination that sounds like it should work, but oddly enough, it really does.

I'm in the same boat. I've been wearing glasses (near-sighted) since grade 5 and switched to contacts in grade 12. Now at 48 my closeup vision is going a bit and they tried to get me into progressive glasses. I could not deal with it at all. I really tend to use my peripheral vision a ton, so...

My immediate answer is the Parentheses or Parentheses Mini (clones of the Earthquaker Devices Life Pedal) as I absolutely love them, but I'm not sure how much fuzz you really want. If it's lots, they can definitely deliver. They can probably do more subtle fuzz, but I've honestly never tried...

I have both a Tyrant and a Hand of God from Nine of Swords. Both are utterly ridiculous in terms of the amount of noise, grit, and distortion they deliver.

You could do it either way; it depends on the look you're going for. For my pedals so far, I've gone with just doing the gloss varnish on the graphics since I've been doing black on black pedals and want the graphic to subtly pop.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid. As early as three years-old (1975) I would get my dad to put on the record constantly. When I was four, he bought me Kiss - Destroyer on vinyl for my birthday. Metalhead ever since. That being said, I also remember listening to tons of Kraftwerk, Paul Simon, ABBA, and...

I am about 99% finished a build (have to do some routing of the back plate to make it fit) of an Anubis from Dead End FX which is another Life Pedal clone like the Parentheses. Comparing the Anubis to the Parentheses I just finished a few days ago, the Anubis has much more of an oscillation or...
