Title: Triple Wreck
Post by: juansolo on April 13, 2014, 10:53:32 AM
One I've built to flog as it was a spare PCB we had in the box.

A Wampler Triple Wreck clone built on a VipFX board but with a few mods (that he's since incorporated in the new board). It's charge pumped to increase headroom/taughtness and the Cream section has been replaced with a SHO that operates independently. Mainly down to the Cream sounding horrible and the SHO providing a useful boost.

It's not the quietest pedal in the world, but then it's very high gain and the others we've done are the same. I suppose it's just one of those things with this circuit. Otherwise, if you want to get your chug on, this is the pedal.

Looks great.  The Cap nerd in me really appreciates the Panasonic/Wima combination.

Built it to sell for capacitor money so went all sensible.

actual lols ;D

Very nice build! Love the graphics.... For the channel indicators, did you just use regular 3mm LEDs and file them back or some flat-topped ones?

Used to file them until we discovered you could buy flat tops :)

It's a reworked mesa logo from a the twin pedal they do ;) Seemed appropriate.
