Holy Sh*t this thing that I built actually works!!!So a friend in Nashville decided he wanted me to build him a pedal, and not just any pedal, The biggest baddest pedal imagineable, and when i told him I couldn't do that, we settled on this. It's a Prefessor Tweed from Chi_boy, a Baby Screamer from Stomptown, a madbean zeropint micro and a Small Angel Chorus i picked up in a trade. The second box holds a Vero MXR headphone amp and an Amz Guitar Direct box. The headphone amp was spposed to be one from JMK but apparently I can't build easy circuits. That one still doesn't work. Anyhow enjoy!!

Very cool Jimi. That's a huge build there.
Damn, that's a big 'un. Great job!
if that is what you "settled" on building, i cant imagine what the original request was like.
that's a monster jimi. great job on all of them.
I get REALLY excited when a vero project works. :)

He wanted lots of modeling options and the headphone amp and direct box built in.
This is the second vero I've been able to make work and the last successful one quit after a week. Third attempt overall.
Wow, this turned out most impressive! Not a bad idea to split it into two boxes.
So you discarded the cab sim idea? And I wonder why you chose this order of Tweed and Screamer?

Yeah I decided to make it as simple as one could in a build like this and didn't choose the cab sim idea, this while build was a lot to digest and comprehend. I chose the order because the screamer board was smaller and easier to put next to the delay, originally the chorus was going to be a byoc chorus but that didn't work out. I myself don't really care for the fender tweed sound for the most part but I am a bassist and I may just not get it.
