Title: Rocky and Mugsy Overdrive (Egghead)
Post by: PhiloB on March 04, 2014, 02:18:26 AM
My son, Luc, got some money for his birthday and decided he wanted to build an overdrive.  With help on this forum we went with the Egghead.  He soldered all the components and I boxed it up.  Since the circuit was based on the Clark Gainster we went with a gangster theme.  What better graphic for an 11 year old than Rocky and Mugsy from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
What a great sounding OD by the way!(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/9egu9y9a.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/ra3y9yzu.jpg)
One last photo of my boy soldering:)

Awesome, one of my favorite Bugs cartoons, too.

Is that yellow anodized?

Thanks Bill and Jon.  It was the translucent Gold.  My son picked it out.  I like it better than I thought I would.
He now has the egghead and MB Sprout (One Knob fuzz) in his pedal arsenal.

Nice pedal, and awesome that your son is taking to the process as well.
