Awful Waffle

Build Rating

5.00 star(s)

I'm several builds behind on posting a build report... I need to gut shot my others I've built lately. I got in from work today and needed to blow off some steam so I whipped out a no labelled build ala @MichaelW style...

Awful Waffle is a good sounding pedal! Sounds best to me at low gain settings... Gain cranked it gets dark and woofy.. very fuzz like. I'd say this is a 10/10 build... easy build and sounds good.

I’ll add this is the older version board and I wired it for true bypass in lieu of buffered bypass

What is this?

What is this?

a Zero Ohm resistor, basically the wire passes straight through.

That is just useless enough to be very intriguing...

Zero Ohms…. Just my signature thing I started doing because I have a crap ton of zero ohm resistors instead of just using a clipped lead..

It’s where all the tone comes from!

Saved by Zero...

Great build!

Nailed it!

do they make a germanium version of them?

They do but they only come Pre-Gooped for that extra Mojo

I stole the zero ohm trick from @swelchy when I first saw it. It's really useful on breadboards if you don't want to use jumpers! And anywhere on a PCB where you need a jumper..

Nice build! Love me an Awful Waffle

They exist so that computer-aided pick and place machines can place jumpers easily.

Pick & Place.

 

[Harry Klippton]

I heard here the zero ohm resistors are for pick and place

 

[Betty Wont]

I use these to place these days. My picking finger is shot.

Very nice…I am planning an Awful Waffle. What Zener did you use

Do they make Germanium zero ohm resistors?

They aren't useless. They come in handy sometimes.
