This was actually one of my early builds that didn’t work. I still had the enclosure, and big ass orange knobs, so I finally revisited it.
On the original PCB I spent a good amount of time troubleshooting. The board looked like crap after my original n00b build and swapping parts, so I picked up a new PCB a few sales ago. I salvaged some parts like Ge diodes from the first build.
I decided to do an epoxy pour on this one and it was the worst in the batch, but decided I could live with it. My audio wires were a bit short, but that’s fine too.
This thing almost doesn’t need any pots. The classic sound is everything dimed. It definitely had me black metal riffin’.
But I learned this pedal has another use! Leave everything dimed, turn the gain all the way down, switch to single coil neck pup. Works as a great dirty boost.
Post Post Addendum: I think it would be cool to have a version of this with just a volume knob and an on/on toggle. The bass and treble would be at max, and the toggle would be gain minimum/maximum. To switch between boost mode and chainsaw mode.
