    Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar (Japanese Big Muff clone)

    i flatten the enclosure on a tabletop belt sander, then smooth them with a handheld Bosch orbital sander with 220, then 320 grit. bock them with 400 wet sand paper, and then buff them with a buffing wheel to remove and scratches. then i mask them with a reverse mask created in photoshop onto...

    Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar (Japanese Big Muff clone)

    years ago i etched my own PCB for a an Elk Fuzz Sustainar and it looks like this: gut shot: i also recently built an Earthquaker Hizumitas fuzz which is the same circiut and also added the mids switch to it, calling it the "Hizumitas +":

    Old but really cool build

    Way back in 2016, since i always loved the sound of an Acoustic 370 head, i decided to build an exact clone of the preamp of it in pedal form. It took me along time to design and etch the multiple PCBs for it and build one for myself. Fortunately, I had all of the original transistors for it...

    Xotic BB Deluxe Bass build

    i just finished an Aion Pereladra Deluxe (BB Deluxe) build and modded it for bass and it sounds great. much better than the standard Aion Perelandra with the their suggest bass mods. here's a pic of my build:

    Aion Perelandra Deluxe (Xotic BB Preamp Mid Boost)

    i built the Bass BB version on AION's Perelandra (twice!) and compared them to my original Xotic Bass BB and it doesn't really sound as good or really anything like it. it doesn't have anywhere near as much gain (distortion) and it's a lot brighter sounding. on the original with the treble and...

    Back In Stock Updates

    A Sunn 200s was probably my favorite sounding bass amp. that one shouldn't be too hard in pedal form either.

    Fancy Solder Sucker

    i bought the more expensive version like this twice (and it worked well) : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MJMXD4?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0&th=1 but i recently bought this less expensive one and i like it even more ( it works even better)...

    Does anyone have what parts to change to make the Perelandra Deluxe a bass version?

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    could be, but the "O" is just open at the top more than the others.

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    your trace example looks (and is) correct but when i ohmed my pcb out one of the led legs was backwards. it had VERY low output and no clipping (neither led lit up). when i reversed one of them, it came to life and sounded great.

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    here's my completed build and it sounds great:

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    according to the schematic they are correct, but the pcb's markings on mine were wrong. i ohmed it out to discover that.

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    i just built the Flank distortion and it didn't work properly. When I noticed that the clipping LEDs weren't lighting up, I checked the pcb and found an error on it. the Anode/Cathode on one of them has to be reversed in order for it to work, so all you have to is reverse the polarity of one of...

    Mach1 gain MOD

    thanks guys. i think that i'm going to leave it as is since it does already sound great with a bass (very little low end loss if any).

    Mach1 gain MOD

    about 1/2 of the 1,000 pedals that i have i built, and the others are the factory originals.. yes, that's the first thing that did, changing the A500K drive pot to a A1M, but, surprisingly it didn't change it much.

    Mach1 gain MOD

    i have about 1000 pedals at the moment and made my own Bass Klon years ago. IMO, the lightspeed is a great low gainer for bass.

    Mach1 gain MOD

    i'm using it with a bass, but no soundclip yet.

    Mach1 gain MOD

    i know it's not a high gain drive but i expected to get a bit more than the very mild gain that it has at maximum drive.
