My first MIAB build. With a little background.
Lifelong fender fan here. Never strayed amp-wise from Fenders unless you count my first amp as a teen, a Crate…. Never played a real Marshall never really desired that sound until recently. Searched through the forums here and found that @Robert seemed to be a big fan of this build for the MIAB sound.
Build was simple and the bias testing tabs with voltages written on them made tuning this thing to perfection such a breeze. The j201s sound amazing and this pedal sounds amazing. Not really knowing first hand what a Marshall sounds like, this to me nails the sounds I’ve heard from my friends and band mates that have used them. Very useful switching options between the three amp modes and the dials all seem to have a great range.
I also finally realized this afternoon why I’ve never taken the time to make sure all my shit is perfectly lined up during build outs. As much as I wish I could build like some of the epic dudes in this forum I just can’t make the time needed to go slow and perfect. Work has been crazy lately, the seven year old single child is constantly needing my attention, the wife and family ongoings are constantly taking up any sort of freedom time I use to have. So my builds have turned into 5 minutes here ten minutes there. Staying up late night dead ass tired attempting just to finish something for myself. So yeah. I’m just happy to have a pedal that works and sounds awesome. I’m not selling this, not trying to impress anyone, got nothing to prove. So if you don’t like my builds cause they have some slop aspect to them cool. But if you are like me and just enjoy making things when you can that work cool too. I’m a fan of the end result, even with a few crooked chicklets…
Enjoy.
