Nice.  Where'd the knobs come from?

Local surplus electronics store... it's a mess in there, but I can always find cool knobs!

Hello together,
great etched Dr. Boogey  
...the other pedals are also fantastic!

Here's my "Overdrive Pro 808" - what could it be?  





Click for larger image:


Nothing special so far, but it has some Mojo-Parts:

- 1S1588 "blue band"-Diodes (they really sound much better than the 1N914 I used before!)
- 2SC1815-Transistors (no difference to equivalents but some mojo  )

...and you can choose between symmetric (Standard) and asymmetric Clipping (Mod)


Greetings from Germany

Nice image, but did the knob HAVE to go there??  That knob makes me sad.   

It's the flowers that make me sad.......

[bancika]

is that a tinted clear coat?  If so, what kind is it?  It looks great

[darron]

thanks for the kind words guys. i wish i put more effort into the photo now. i made sure to have some of the work bench in the shot though (:

it's raw aluminium, sanded smooth, then very very finely wire brushed with a dremel style tool. then powder coated with a semitransparent colour.

idea comes from the muzique.com site, which links directly to http://www.instructables.com/id/Simulated-woodgrain-for-metal-boxes/. scroll to the last page there too for some different results!

This is the SMALL MUFF pi (triangle version) . Not really my kind of sound. but I do really like the colour. The sound is  a bit over the top for my taste but it sounds like it should according to sound samples on YouTube.

So why did you build it?  

Nice pedal, as always.

Nice pedal, as always.

A compulsive disorder in the need to shrink things I guess  

Tnx BTW

Wow, that's a beautiful graphic Slade.  Your etching work is beyond amazing.

I'm wondering about the significance of the spilt blood?  Or is it blackbird poo? 

[darron]

Hahahaha!!!! It's supossed to be bloodstains! No special significance but I think it explains pretty good the sound of the pedal
