Skidmark Pedals Unofficial Support Sub-Forum

[Robert]

As some of you may know, unfortunately Cees van Eijk, the designer and brains behind Skidmark Pedals has recently passed away.

I've had several people contact me over the past few days about the possibility of hosting a support sub-forum since the Skidmark Pedals Facebook group was private and he was apparently the only Admin of the group with the ability to accept new members.

Rather than let these excellent projects fade away and become unsupported, I've decided to set up this area for that purpose.

Never built one of his "Dirty Shally" OD pedals, (his take on a Marshall 2204), but wanted to. I like how it uses a pair of JFETs to pre-drive the circuit. And the opportunities for mods abound.



If you can think of other mods, please speak up.

Meanwhile, anyone know where I might find of those boards. I've scoured the usual places and his Reverb and FB sales are now down.

Definitely going to give this one a shot.

I have two Sonomatic boards that I still haven’t built. Looking forward to those.

Sorry, what was your address?

You only need one!

I am building one for a good friend of mine so we can be delay twins.

Here is the message from the Facebook page --

Dear fellow pedal people,
If this message gets posted, it means that something went horribly wrong. I've been fighting a nasty lung inflammation for over a decade, but now it seems it has gotten the better of me. I just want to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years. Giving technical assistance on the projects has been a great relieve, and sometimes (for a moment) made me forget that I was seriously ill.
Skidmark Pedals has been a really cool endeavor for me and (sometimes) my daughter Jessie. I (obviously) will not be able to give any support anymore, I reckon I'm now trying to convince Jimy he really needs a Sonomatic

.
You are all free to use the schematics as posted in the files section, but I would appreciate if you at least would give me some credits. That my designs will live after I have passed, somehow gives me great comfort.
Please remember that your health is the only important thing in life. I'm pretty sure I'm in a better place now. Take care guys, I love you all!
Cees van Eijk

I’m sorry to hear about Cees’ passing. I have build docs for the Purple chorus and Sonofier preamp, including a Tayda UV design for the Purple. I’ll post them as soon as I get to a computer.

Mijn oprechte medeleven aan vrienden en familie.

Rust in vrede, Meneer van Eijk.
