Hey - leggo my uggo!    (I think these boxes have that fugly duckling, only a mother can love thing going on)

Built up a couple fuzzies; an ROG Whisker Biscuit and an Escobedo Jinx fuzz on a capsnsuch pcb!  NOS pcb goodness right there!

The finishes are an inspired by Rej, 'destroyed in northern Canada' look with multiple coats of contrasting paint hit violently with a belt sander. I enjoy the weird, random results. We have too much light here in California to properly photograph these; they are much more dark and mysterious than they appear in my awful photographs. And look out - Morgan bought an old school Dymo label maker! Look forward to every pedal I ever build going forward being emblazoned with embossed stick on labels.   

In love with both circuits. The WB is muff based and is the first muff variant I can remember not immediately wanting to sell. I'm just not typically a big muff guy. But the suggested ROG tweaks to the tone control are magic and I enjoy this one immensely. And the Jinx fuzz got stuck right to my pedal board -  The bias knob varies it from OD sounding to glitchy, which lets you dial it in to be usable for chords or for just single notes. Can't believe I haven't tried this one before. It's a simple circuit that i highly recommend. 

Oh, and Brian's current Fatpants project doc has a killer drilling template for fitting top mounted jacks on a 1590B, for those who care...   

Morgan: "Gee mister, I...uh...I sure would like to play your fancy club rock club one day and maybe open up for Cake or Deer tick or something like that..."

Fat Cat Club Promoter: "Sure kid, just send me your EPK."

Morgan: "Geewillickers!"

   

So I've spent enough time on the Google to figure out what an EPK is (it's an electronic press kit).

Does anyone here work, or have worked, for a promoter or club that deals with these things? Mine feels really weak and I'd like someone who has seen their share have a look at it.   

I scored this sweet Basic Audio enclosure from a fellow forumite a while back (michaelballard maybe?) and have been saving it for a special build. I could think of no other circuit more worthy than the Duovibe designed by my good buddy, the Funky Jesus!  (plus, I am a total, filthy vibrato whore... )

Awesome circuit, LOVE the vibrato mode. 1590B enclosure with top mounted jacks; It's going right on the pedal board. I'd really like to see a 4-stage version of this!

Also - thanks a bunch to Rej for sending me the LDRs. They work great! 





A note on the cloth wiring - I don't use that stuff to be fancy. When I started monkeying with electronics, it was refurbishing vintage amps. The I started building amps, then finally I started building pedals. I got used to the cloth wiring in old amps and just keep using it because I like not stripping wires and it has never let me down.


Had to grind down the lip on the inside of the enclosure lid because of the top mounted 1/4" jacks - 5 min on the grinder and no problems.

Left out the feedback switch, so I 'spose it's really only a Nom. Whoa Bubba, but what a Nom it is! 

Thanks for a great project Brian! I'd just been hankerin' for non-modded phase 90 clone in a small box (but not too small  ). I was able to top mount the jacks on a 1590 to squeeze it on my pedal board, and it sounds just fantastic. The included stomp switch board and fet matcher made everything go together really easy. Well done all around!

Sunking2 build docs are awesome. Well done B and thanks for the laughs!

I did not realize that Klon™ and Happy Fun Ball had so much in common; though I had my suspicions.



   

Just wanted to give big ups to Madbean for the quality pcb. I've never seen such a clean and well made hand-built pcb before and it was a pleasure to assemble.

Thanks Madbean!
