Pharmacist Pedal Demo and Build Report

[jjjimi84]

Oh man am I fired up about this one! I shot this video and during editing I scrapped it to start again and I am glad I did. This is such a great pedal and needed the time and the love.

I built this in a mirrored finish small bear 1590bb with those giant ass knobs from lovemyswitches and hand painted a fancy walrus on there. The knobs looked cool and were the color I wanted but I didnt look at what size they were so now I have 30 knobs that are way to big for standard 125B pedal making.....

This build came together quickly and the layout is super nice, I made some of the odd value resistors by running two in series which I didn't need to do but why not? For any Beatles fan this is a must have and for anybody else on the fence I highly recommend. In the video I play a bunch of Beatles stuff and near the end I just knob turn and improvise up some other stuff with it.

This is the most typing I have ever done for a build report, I hope I am up to the All in Good Fun standards! On to the video and pictures!

Great work all around! Btw, those knobs will work on the standard three-knob layout for the top two controls.

Thank you Grant!!!! Appreciate the kind words.

They do but it doesn't give a lot of room to paint any sort of lettering. I have them in light gray on two 125b builds and I am on the fence if they will stay.

Ah very true. It's much easier to cram some labelling in there with printed graphics.

Props, I wish I had the painting skills you grace us with. Alas, my hands get referred to as meat paws for a reason. Keep up the good work on the vids, in a sea of guit related YouTube you're actually adding something worthwhile to the content base.

Thank you for saying so! I hope I am doing some good, I at least have good intentions.

Dan you awesome bitch! <----very cool affectionate phrase

I love that blue Walrus man! With a brilliant demo like that, I have a prescription that can only be filled by a Pharmacist!

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Awesome! Looks great too— I guess the walrus wasn’t Paul after all

 

[Paradox916]

Great build! And awesome video! Always enjoy watching them!

That is a humdinger Dan!
I can’t watch the video at the moment but I’ll enjoy that after the kids bedtime routine

You just gotta think how much better your skillz will be with all of these builds!

Let me know what you think when you get it together.

What did I miss? There was a ton left on the editing room floor

 

[Harry Klippton]

You had a good selection but I'm mostly familiar with revolver, plastic Ono band, and all things must pass I guess

What did I miss? There was a ton left on the editing room floor

Maybe I missed it when my dogs were going nuts, but I didn’t hear She Said She Said— the quintessential UL730 song.
That said, your selection of riffs was 100% fire! Toanz for days and great tunes abound!

Lovely sounding pedal! I built the Conqueror which is along the same lines but I think this one sounds better! I’m gonna have to build one and compare don’t I? Also great video! You made me wanna shoot some pedals too…

I built the Conqueror, and while it’s pretty good, it’s pretty bright. The mid boost doesn’t make too much of a difference with the bass up. I can’t wait to build the Pharmacist.
