    DEMO I built a pedal for Mark Hoppus of blink-182!

    UPDATE!!! Mark received the pedal today and immediately posted it on his Instagram story!!! I nearly fainted when I saw this, so crazy and surreal! His tech messaged me and said they're checking it out and possibly using it at the show in Portugal tonight! Sorry for all the exclamations but...

    DEMO I built a pedal for Mark Hoppus of blink-182!

    [so sorry for the clickbait thumbnail] The first concert I ever went to was blink-182 and Green Day on the Pop Disaster tour, 2002. I saw three boobs that night! (me circa 2002) I've gotten some attention recently for building a blink-182-in-a-box pedal (more on that another time) and...

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    If you can get a phase flip in there as well I'll buy a billion of them from you. (Or at least 50x)

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    I would say if you have the blend at 50/50, and turn the level all the way up, the clean blend and the distortion are at unity.

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    Update: I rewired the pedal from scratch and built a new Buff N Blend for the hell of it. The pedal now works!!! I've gotten so much better and more meticulous about my wiring just in the last few months so this is obviously a huge improvement visually let alone electronically. I've also bought...

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    I need you all to know that when I opened this pedal up to snap that photo, the clean blend no longer works now and is stuck on 100% wet. This pedal is cursed I hate it.

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    I think I remember why I didn't take a gut shot of this one!!! I was so tired of wiring it up and taking it apart once it didn't work that I stopped bothering with my usual attempt at tidiness. When it finally worked I just slapped the back on it and called it a victory. I'm not sure what to...

    DEMO Fuzz Hysteria - Aion FX Polaris [Human Gear Animato]

    So here is the brother build to my Russian Big Muff w/clean blend. This is the Aion FX Polaris which is a trace of the Human Gear Animato. For those not in the know, the Animato is an obscure Japanese distortion pedal that Chris Wolstenholme (bass player of Muse) discovered early in his career...

    Is power without Op-Amps damaging?

    Small update: I reflowed every solder joint including the pots and it works now! Yay!

    DEMO Russian Big Muff w/ Clean Blend [Bass Demo!]

    The first one I built didn't work. I tried everything. Eventually I just started over from scratch. There's something finicky about that pcb... Evil spirits and what not.

    DEMO Russian Big Muff w/ Clean Blend [Bass Demo!]

    This is the Pedal PCB Muffin Fuzz built to Green Russian specs. However I designed a custom enclosure based on the Black Russian model which I feel has a better aesthetic. I translated my builder name Utility Belt FX into Russian for the design and when translated back you get Utility Belt...

    Is power without Op-Amps damaging?

    I plugged in a new pedal build to test it (Pathogen) and when it didn't work I realized that I forgot to install the Op-Amps in their sockets. After I did the pedal still didn't work, and now I'm wondering if I possibly damaged the circuit, or if it's just some unrelated screwup that I'm getting...

    Auditorium test platform

    I want you to know I'm never going to forget this moment. The name of my firstborn okay or would you care for a house deed or two?

    DEMO Ruby Blue Overdrive (BJFE Emerald Green Distortion)

    Man that guitar sounds great! Even before you kicked the pedal on, I was into it. Great sounding build as well!

    Hi-gain modern fuzz that isn't muddy/has clear note definition?

    I might recommend checking out the Two Sticks of Derm fuzz? The extremely low parts count make it very cost effective to try out, and if you don't love it, you're not too far in the hole at all. Just make sure it's first in your chain :/ Here's my demo of it with guitar and bass.
