I'm honoured, though a wee bit embarassed.

It's only a couple of op-amps and diodes, guys. Just glad you didn't put in an apostrophe between the R and S. It could have looked like a contraction of "Mark Hammer is The Crank"!

The stompswitch appears to have a bigger button than I'm used to seeing. What brand is it?

this would look so nice if you hadn't used that ugly white plastic washer

jimbob · June 05, 2006, 06:13:40 PM

Looks great. Btw- I like those white washer!

Mark,

Just be glad you didn't call it the "Beef Curtain"! Imagine how embarrassing THAT contraction would be!

BTW, I'm still working on the BC but even when/if I finish it, I'm not sending it to Marty if he's gonna put my name on the front of it!

I'm totally into the label maker labels.

MartyMart · June 05, 2006, 07:06:30 PM

Thanks guy's, I think the "white plastic" on "cream" looks quite good myself !!
Stomp switch is a regular Alpha DPDT, perhaps the camera makes it look bigger

I'm out of 3DPDT's so when i get some, I'll add an LED.

Nice job BTW MartyMart!!
I like the white too!

Be proud! It doesn't need a lot of extra stuff to sound good though Mark

I pride myself on building great sounding pedals with minimal parts ... Time is a factor

Nice one Marty! ...

There's not tons of drive, it has a lot of boost and a great tone, with "grit" full up there's
just a bit of crunch, slightly more than the ROG peppermill.
Great sounding pedal though and for a fairly "clean" gig this is perfect

( BTW it knocks the socks off the HAO "Sole pressure"

)

That cranky old Mark Hammer... What did he do this time?

Looks great Marty. Looks like you have the Ken Fischer mojo...

Did you already post a clip of this? I would love to hear it...
