This was one of the very first circuits I bought from PedalPCB but I didn't get around to completing it until now. The board has been built for probably a year!
I owe a couple of people here thanks for this build: @droneshotfpv sent me an OC139 months back to use in this and @SYLV9ST9R did the artwork for me. Thanks to you both! I will be trying out some other transistors in this tomorrow to see if I like anything better.
This is a pretty clear drive pedal that was pulling some farts out of my little practice amp with the bass, so I am guessing that it would play pretty well with my 400+. For bass it really needs to be in full mode - the volume drop when switching to the treble mode is pretty severe, but it's even more pronounced on bass. I kind of hate the treble mode to be honest with you. It might be better for guitar but I'm not sure because I spent most time playing my bass through it and, to be honest, I can hardly play guitar so it's not really intuitive for me to know what to do with the guitar and certain effects.
Anyways, a few weeks ago my wife and I watched the first season The Terror and I became completely obsessed with learning more about the Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. I thought the show was incredibly well done and acted. I could have done without the supernatural stuff, but it was pretty mellow. It's worth checking out for sure.
I wanted to continue the wordplay regarding ships with my build and figured that Terror would be a good name for a pedal, and SYLV9St9R came up with the bad ass design, so I'm super happy with it.
The decal was much darker black before I baked it. I'd never done any really solid black stuff before and expected it to come out a bit funky, but it it's a bit more pronounced than I thought it would be and what my experience in the past has been. I think it kind of adds to the eeriness in this instance and kind of adds a snowy effect which is on point, though, so I'm pretty happy with it. I included a shot of it before baking. I've been having some printer woes lately, though, so I think it might be time to invest in a better laserjet.
