Another superb demo. I love the GFS Filtertrons. I used them on the 12 string side of an Epi doubleneck and they made the old beast sound way more 12 stringey.

I've been using a Line6 pedal/beltpack (forget the model #) and it is bonehead simple and works very well. I got the little Nux C-5RC's at closer to $150 and they work amazingly well till they went kaboom. I bought them to play acoustic since I don't use my pedal board and they're great for...

You gotta do one of the many vibes out there to get close to the real thing. I remember thinking the Tri-Vibe and Madbean Function-FX Duo-Vibe were cool in their own right but not a vibe.

My bench light at the music store I work at is the culprit for me. Was fine for the 20+ years I've had it in 3 different houses but when I moved it to the store: Bzzzzz. I've resigned myself to just turning it off when I test guitars/amps/pedals so it's a minor inconvenience.

Jeebuz, that looks as bad as my first build. For the record it didn’t work either…

DIY at it's finest.

Holy crap!!! That's awesome!

That has to sound like 400 lbs of bacon.

The square pads for the pots indicate pin 1 on the pot. Looking at the back of the pot with the pins on the bottom they’re labeled 3 2 1 from left to right. How do I know this? From doing exactly what you did and cursing and swearing the whole time I spent unsoldering the pots :-) On the...

Damn that looks very cool. Nicely done!

Does the Acrobat get you in the same ball park? I haven’t built up mine yet so can’t comment.

And is there a smaller alternative to the transformer?

I’ve been following this since I use the Clapton boost and it sounds totally different in a guitar as opposed to being in a pedal. Which totally makes sense from a fuzz perspective. Does it make sense to do this as an add on board in the front end of applicable effects or do you need to...

That’s great! I love the double image on Fright and the sound clip definitely captures the extremes of the pedal. Great looking build.

I literally have hundreds of unboxed boards that are finished and working. I should really put them up for sale to see if anyone wants these. I went berserk during Covid and built everything I could get my hands on. Can you build too many overdrives and do-dads? Yes, yes you can. But I kept...

Geezuz man you continue to crush. Never lost with a Black Magik in the background either, but just devastating clean work. jhaneyzz did me a solid a while back with doing similar looking off-board wiring on my go to compressor but this looks crazy.

+1 on the above. The hot setup (no pun intended) is one of those big janky industrial looking irons but if you don't do this kind of stuff on a regular basis it's kinda overkill. Generally though if you can get the solder moving with a fresh batch it will pay off in spades to try to get rid...

Between here and Bean I just use the drill templates. Every now and then I have to use a reamer to "open up" a switch hole a bit but there's generally enough play in pots that I don't pet the sweaty things. UNLESS it's a rotary switch. I've been majorly hooped on a few of those, not realizing...

Living vicariously through you my man.
