Hi,

I had no idea what to do with these 3 circuits. Improvised last night, using 3 differents technics.

Up down daddy / Pearl OC-7 octaver, acrylic and varnish :

I insisted to have top mounted jacks, but...
The 2nd octave down is maybe a little hard to use with an other effect, but i am only beggining to use octavers, and maybe this one still needs calibration.
I will keep trying but still couldn't find how to set the trimmer, I know what it's supposed to do thanks to Antonis and Anotherjim.

EQD Life pedal / Parenthese fuzz / Rat + SHO (Zvex boost) + Octave up (green ringer) :

A picture from an old history book : "Building a cathedral" by Jean Fouquet.

Despite all the facts, I thought it would sound a bit more singular, I thought the Rat part wouldn't sound exactly like mine, etc.
I already built a rat, a SHO boost, and now I have an octaver, so...I 'll probably sell this, if I can find a buyer.

Aion's TS-50 Bass preamp :

Faceplate made from a DVD plastic box. I made a mistake with the led's hole, so I've hidden the extra hole with more plastic (vanilla ice cream, and CD-RW boxes).

Looking for bass circuits, I was curious about the "tri-comp network". I tried with guitar first, it works but the EQ doesn't sound effective on the right frequencies, especially with mids. I tried it with a bass, and everything is fine, the EQ is probably calibrated for bass. It sounds really interesting, I am going to spend more time on this one than on the 2 others, I guess.

I decided to stop labeling every controls... to respect the artwork, free the mind and focus on the sound.
