First custom Tayda drilling and UV printing for my first AionFX build. All in all I'm pretty happy with the results, thanks to the people from the Tayda UV Printing thread and to Hugo & co. for their precision with all the drilling and layering.
The build itself is simple, but it requires some homework because of the various versions you can build (Distortion+, `77 Gray 250, `78 Gray 250, `79 Gray 250, `82 Yellow 250, `97 Yellow 250, `02 YJM 308, Micro Amp, Vox 1901 / Guyatone Zoom Box, Hitachi HV-260). A significant part of my love goes to @UtilityBeltFX for his demo of the clipping options, a great help for all who wonder what to do with D4-D5-D6-D7.
First thing I did was to solder the germanium diodes, treating them like they were made of glass
unsure and expecting them to explode right away. But thankfully.
Now, I appreciated some aspects of the Aion project, but I found myself swearing more than once. Since this is a highly versatile and customizable build, I opted for the highly versatile and impactful pearl of the polish language that is 'KURWA', yelling it repeatedly with abandon.
The completed pedal sounds fine and I had fun comparing the clipping settings, even though it will probably stay on the stock distortion+ germanium setting most of the time. the distortion pot also acts as the tone pot, seemingly cutting lows as it goes up. in fact it sounds like ass unless it's almost cranked. options! yay!
The Tayda enclosure is Grey, with a white layer under the graphics and gloss varnish. The theme is the Karen Bee arc from Nisemonogatari, the show that changes forever your concept of dental hygiene. This of course makes it so that there's sexy little bees inside (the resistors) and outside. It also makes me more of a despicable person.
