It’s been a few months since I built anything, but a friend asked me to build him a bass pedal last week so I figured it was a good time to start. I don’t do a build report for every pedal I do anymore, but thought I’d post these, as I find other people’s build reports (and pictures) really helpful whenever I have a question.
The Obsidius drive was fairly straight forward and I don’t have much to say about the build itself. I can’t wait for my friend to get a hold of it.
One of the best things about building pedals is that even though I’m a low -average skill guitar player, all my much more talented friends think I’m a rocket scientist.![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
Once I put my builders hat on, I kept going. Decided to tackle the VIIB. I’ve had the pcb sitting around for a long while now. Last year, I messed up a VIIB and Flanger PCBs in a single weekend (thereby flushing 50 bucks down the toilet). So I waited to get more experience and today felt like a good day to get it done.
Opted for slow is smooth and smooth is fast approach. I double checked each component before soldering. I pulled multiple build reports from the forums when I wasn’t 100% sure. And then somehow made it all fit in the enclosure. The approach worked and it fired up the first time.
I have no idea how to use vibrato, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. It’s a fun pedal.
