love the eq Matt, my kind of pedal. bravo!

+1 mad build...

Thanks guys!

That modular design is slick! But yeah... lots of offboard wiring would be a PITA. It was done well though! cool builds all around!

7 wires from each little board and an entire 3PDT x7, not fun     that Aquaboy deluxe PCB should look familiar to ya

A customer up in Boston wanted a tremolo that could do stutter and softer wave forms and it needed to fit in a 1590A. He also wanted the rate knob as big as possible, so that meant I had to fiddle with the layout a bit to exclude the volume and make the waveform control a switch!

He plays bass clarinet, so I hope I get to hear something he creates using this!

I was so happy with the art that this one was a wrench to let go. I used "Midnight Rain" from PPP as the base powder coat -- it looks black but has a green sheen when the light hits it just right, and it also has some sparkle to it. I didn't want to use a flat black because I thought it would lessen the impact of the big black knob that makes up the black hole itself. Since every black hole needs something to feed on (or else you wouldn't be able to see it), I used the stuff sticking out of the pedals, and the LEDs obviously made the most sense. The colors start out "cold" (except for some silver around the edges to add some separation from the background) in actual heat terms and get brighter as you go toward the center of the accretion disc. There is also a white and silver background to make it look more like actual light. It's hard to photograph the metallic paints properly.

The Hawking radiation (that column shooting out from the center) was done with white and metallic blue.

I then used some paint thinner to smear the colors together and get some dissipation at the edges.

You can see that green sheen in some of the pictures, looks awesome!

Here is my humble fuzz pedal, it's one of Devi Ever's circuits on vero.

...it needed to fit in a 1590A.

He plays bass clarinet...

how many units does a bass clarinetist have on their pedal board?! or he's having a hard enough time just trying to fit a bass clarinet into a club in Boston? You sure you didn't "suggest" a 1590A? 
i wanna hear the result, too! post a link or something in the lounge.  lookin' good, as always, Jon.

You're in luck, I can answer this! I posted a pic on reddit and the guy's friend showed up and replied with a picture of the whole board:

Wow... that's cool, between that and the whistler posting on MB... things I never thought guitar pedals would be used for. Need some audio now.

Hwhat?! No Octave pedal?! not a real clarinet player

Red pedal top right - looks like an Octamizer clone.

Filters! Madbean honey dripper (dipthonizer) and grind customs Fluff Girl (Bassballs)
Both sound really cool!

[rocket8810]

man nice builds luke. definitely love the dying. that image reminds me of something you'd see on a megadeth album cover. just bad ass.

Nice work and video!

is that an etch? it looks awesome, and if it's an etch, it's really difficult do etch those thin lines right at the corners.

The video is good too, but I really liked those lace patterns

[Schizo910]

Thanks, no it's not an etch... i wish! It's a combination of decal and paint.

[bloxstompboxes]

Love that sound schizo! This one is going on the list! What mods did you do?

[Schizo910]

I breadboarded this one first and changed a couple of values but nothing fancy. One of the things I changed is the 470p cap from the lay out, It creates the filter for the tone control, I don't know what I used because  tried a few.

I used the lay out from http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.nl/search/label/Catalinbread.  This lay out has One of the stock resistors switchable for the normal Formula No5 mode and a high gain mode.

Hi there!

It's done!
We've finally finished the fuzz, our first serial pedal we've been working for a half-year!

And here is some photos from the process of making the first unit:

















Thanks for watching!
