Another Animal Pedals build report.

Shout out to @HamishR for bringing this one into the fold. See his build report here.

Another Marc Ahlfs and Animal Pedal collab. And another tweaked familiar circuit in the same family as the Diamond Peak, Hybrid Fuzz Driver and Lunar Module.

This sounds more like an overdrive to me than the other Skreddy Pedals in this little family yet it's more than an overdrive. Very smooth sounding.
The smoothest sounding of all the Skreddy circuits I've built.

This circuit, afaik does not have any special considerations for the gains on the NPN's. I used 2N3904's.

Sounds killer. Between the Lunar Module, the Diamond Peak and the Major OD there's a whole lot of Gilmour-esque tones to be had.

Thanks again to Mr. @szukalski for the layout!

I don't remember what the color of this Tayda enclosure is called but it's really cool looking. Like copper/bronze with some shifts in the hues.

Oh and CHECK OUT the finish washer on the stompswitch! Pretty snazzy huh? I stole it from an Aion Kit that was my second ever pedal build hahah.



Another lovely Sheepy layout.

Mr Big Nut there on the footswitch looks good, but you're kinda losing me with the Gilmore Girls talk

It's one of my favourites of the Skreddys. Glad you're enjoying it!

Anyone have a spare board for this they’d like to sale? This has been on my radar for a while now.

Gorgeous colour!

Great choice of the twiddly-fiddly bits, they really complementy the enclosure's colour.

Really though, a white washer on the stomper would've tied the whole thing together and brought balance to the Ahlfs-Force.


So wonderful to have your prolific build reports inspiring everyone again, keep building in good health.
