D*A*M Death Blues Distortion

[Zanshin]

Half serious suggestion, but in all seriousness I'd build it for the name alone.




NPN Germ, opamp? a few silicon transistors… honestly it looks like the sweepings from my bench haha. The QC sticker is a nice touch!

There’s a couple of demos in this instagram post:

I want one too

Same, this one looks very interesting. If you sift through the mumbo jumbo in the manual, it sounds like it's a germanium boost into an op amp-based active mids control, into a muff. More pics and the manual are available here.

 

[Zanshin]

Ahh man. That manual got me all hot and bothered.

Yall going to make me trace a vero layout? ... Couldn't it have just been a gooped PCB?

Haven't listened yet, but it does look cool.

Crikey! Looks phonier than a two-dollar bill!
Canadian Tire money... I've inherited my Dad's stash. The plastic key-chain bar-code cards just don't cut it.


Things I do for Canadian Tire money...

I much prefer having it in THE PAAAALM OF MYYYYY HAAAND

 

[drgonzo1969]

only $5,849.69 + shipping and you get 3 other dam pedals

edit: It took me almost 45 minutes to find where you could actually buy pedals on that dam website...

 

[HamishR]

Man that copy on the DAM website is atrocious. Maybe it makes them happy but it makes me want to build their stuff and never buy it. Which is kinda what happens anyway. Just a load of self-indulgent teenage BS.

 

[drgonzo1969]

I love allll that BS on their website but it seems like it was built by someone who has never used a website before. It's clunkier than some of those first websites back in the dial-up days.

 

[Zanshin]

I think the website is meant to be funny.

Eurotubes website, for example, is actually like a dial up website.

The pedal prices, they have cheaper ones too. If I was going to make pedals for a living I’d want to make more for doing less too haha. Like Dumble for example. It’s all about the crystal lattices.
