Hybrid Tonebender (Vero Content)

Totally forgot to add this one to my last PedalPCB order and my OC140's couldn't wait much longer, so I went with vero! Biased perfectly with the 4v7 zener, and I went with a ME4003 instead of the BC107 (because I don't have any on my stock, so there's that). I wasn't able to play loud because of the hour here, but first impressions are very positive!

Well that's a little ray of sunshine.



Where the heck do you get an OC140 nowadays, something you found in the back of your kitchen drawer?


THE DRAWER’S CONDITION

ON NOVEMBER 28, 1961
Is there anything emptier
than the drawer where
you used to store your opium?
How like a black-eyed Susan
blinded into ordinary daisy
is my pretty kitchen drawer!
How like a nose sans nostrils
is my bare wooden drawer!
How like an eggless basket!
How like a pool sans tortoise
My hand has explored
my drawer like a rat
in an experiment of mazes.
Reader, I may safely say
there's not an emptier drawer
in all of Christendom!

O ESTADO DA MINHA GAVETA
EM 28 DE NOVEMBRO DE 1961
Poderá existir algo mais vazio
que a gaveta onde
costumavas guardar o teu ópio?
Algo como uma mulher de olhos negros
convertida em margarida vulgar
no meu belo armário de cozinha
Como um nariz sem narinas
é a minha gaveta nua de madeira
Como uma cesta sem ovos
ou uma lagoa sem tartarugas
A minha mão como um rato
explorou essa gaveta
numa experiência labiríntica
Posso-vos afirmar com toda a segurança
que não existe gaveta mais vazia
em toda a cristandade!

Super clean vero build! I always love looking at these i think they show all the builders unique techniques. Love the color and the love the color of the wiring! I bet that OC140 sounds awesome!
Thanks a lot man! For years vero was my most used building technique, but it's really time consuming. Nowadays I just build one-offs or vintage based stuff, and it's a very pleasing process to my mind hehe. And it does sound awesome!

Ahahahahahaha awesome, gotta love some transistor inspired poetry posting. I got a bunch of very expensive OC140's on ebay from a seller named Langrex. Really low leaking, and all the pedals I built using it sounded amazing, and I'm not a very hyped-transistor-oriented guy

I know what you mean. But when they come together, they’re the most satisfying builds you can do! Would love to hear demo 😎
