Title: Echo Fuzz - MB Splunker
Post by: Bio77 on March 14, 2023, 01:00:29 AM
Just wanted to show some love to the Splunker.  I haven't seen any build reports, yet.  I think it's cool when the Jedi's of the pedal game do originals.   This is a fun pedal, gives an instant lead tone. 

I used some low Hfe 3904s for the fuzz side, nothing fancy.  The no-film gods were kind to me and I got a pretty good transfer  8)  It's been rough on the no-film front the past year or so.

Hell yeah!  I love the old horror movie vibe with the font and graphics.  Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price... I'm a sucker for their flicks  8).

Nice work! I'm super envious of the ones who can do the film/no-film and get their registration/alignment bang-on.

Apparently I need to build out my stash of horror movie fonts! That aesthetic works for me. Love the build.

This looks terrific.  I like the circuit too.  One of the guitar players I play with snagged it soon after it was boxed up and loves it.  I might have to put together another one.

Looking great!!!! What a tight fit, how nervous were you drilling that power jack? Not to far up not too far down, just right.

Brian's cutout is pretty accurate for marking the side holes.  I did some machining when I was in college, so, I strive to have good holes (that came out weird  ::)).
