Well ok then.
Lady, gentlemen, and the rest of my lovely degenerates, I give you: the gadget. Much like me as a teenager, it’s angry, barely domesticated and a little unnerving to be around.
Built per the BOM except for the mosfets. I’m full of bs, but not of the 170 variety. Fortunately I have a bag of 2n7000s and used a couple of those instead. For the GE diodes, I used some I got in a bag from a righteous dude in Ukraine. Not sure what they are but they do the thing.
I sanded the enclosure for shits ‘n’ giggles. My wonky back and wrist gave up before I finished sanding, so I’m not happy with how it looks, but that’s actually good. Reflecty knobs and a waterclear pink LED round things out.
How does it sound? Indescribable. Really. On its own into a clean amp, I got several odd degrees of gating to overdrive to full on cracked-out extreme tonebender splat and sizzle. But into the dirt channel? Oh my. Oh my oh my oh my. My old high school dreams of being a guitar player in a hardcore industrial band awaken. This is ugly, brutal and dangerously beautiful. And all at the same time.
I like it. I like it a lot.
You should build one.
