Schu-Tone Exterminator

Holy crap… Clinton’s posting a build report. Holy crap… it’s not a flanger. Holy crap… it’s not an analog delay either. I know, crazy right!? Well, today I want to show some support and appreciation to someone outside of the usual suspects, @dan.schumaker at Schu-Tone. He supplied me with this pcb. It’s called the Exterminator and it’s essentially an EHX Clone Theory but, with some twists. First off, It’s all squeezed into a 125B enclosure. Second, the volume control is external instead of an internal trim pot. Third, it features relay bypass switching which honestly… is pretty badass in my opinion. I’ve never done a build with that type of switching before and it turns out, I really, really like it. There’s not much else I can really add other than it sounds like an old school EHX Clone Theory. For the artwork, I went with my arch nemesis out here in the Sonoran desert. The stripe tail scorpion. When I think exterminator, I think of the damn scorpions. These evil little bastards live in my backyard and find their way into my house every year. Come spring time and into summer, it’s a good idea to shake out your shoes before you put them on. You never know when a scorpion is just waiting to sting you in the bottom of your foot when you slide your work boots on in the morning. Ask me how I know 😑. Well, that’s all for this report kids. Now, I gotta go make my annual call to Terminix.

Wow this is incredible! Great build! Love that it has the relay bypass switching built in 😎
Thanks! The relay switching is my favorite part.

This shit goes hard 😤
Thanks Will!

The desert seems kind of terrifying. Not that I haven't come across brown recluse and rattlesnakes up north.
Yeah, there's quite a few venomous creatures out here. I think I've seen more "dangerous" critters out here in the Southwest than I ever did in the Midwest.

I absolutely love this and would build one in a second. I grew up in Arizona and used to catch scorpions and clip thier stingers off and keep them as pets. So many fun weird critters out there.
Thanks! You're not the only person I've heard this from out here lol. That and catching tarantulas during monsoon season to keep as pets 😖. Y'all have bigger balls than I have 😂

Classy! Now I need to look up a demo for the clone theory. I know what a flanger and delay sound like, but now that you’ve deviated…… I’ll take a scorpion over a fucking centipede any day
Thanks! For the record... I don't like centipedes either. 🤢

Many thanks!

clean build as usual buddy, chorus was my goto modulation for the longest time. Love the scorpion on there. The whole thing makes me think of mortal kombat🤣 View attachment 47270
Thanks Rob. "Get over here!"
