After a long break due to assorted horrors, the blasphemy continues with the companion to the Pro-10 blue I previously gave unlife to.
Thanks to a year of randomly assembling pedals I can now look at a schematic and recognize a few basic elements, but more importantly, I can get shamanic visions if I stare at it long enough. This particular circuit has a distinct european look (a quackload of components) with a japanese heart, just like the vision I had of an enraged Kai Tachibana firing bursts of TS808 at a Marshall stack with a potato cannon.
Building the pedal was thankfully a straightforward process. Also, I still suck at soldering and I hate ground pads. And I overtightened the pots. To try something new I wired the footswitch directly and I must say it makes more sense for a number of reasons, but it pops like crazy when switched on. Am I missing a resistor somewhere? Is it my suckage at soldering? At following simple instructions?
To celebrate this marriage of cultures I decided to emblazon it with a german doll from the japanese manga/show "Rozen Maiden", along with its meme, born on the web's favorite hive of scum and villainy more than twenty years ago. I particularly like the way I can mutter to myself "Needs more desu" when dialing in the perfect guitar tone and then crank up all three knobs.
I find it almost usable on bass as well. Almost desu.
