Title: Hoof, Scarab, KOT & Edge Boost
Post by: dan.schumaker on October 09, 2014, 02:47:43 PM
Here are a few recent builds I finished:

Earthquaker Devices Hoof (on Vero) - using 2N1308's

Basic Audio Scarab (on Vero) - first time making a faceplate.  I just added a label to a piece of copper from Tayda for etching and glued it to the case

King of Tone (on Vero) - All switches are external to really play with the different settings.  BA282 diodes were used

Edge Boost (on Vero) - The Edge uses both the Korg SDD-3000 preamp and the Boss FA-1 Pre as a part of his sound, so I just put both of them in one box

I really like it.  Of all the fuzz pedals I've built, this one seems to be getting the most use as of late.  With the Bias & Fat knobs, there are a lot of sounds waiting to be found in it.  Its definitely worth building up.

That boost is awesome! Do you like how it sounds? I'm not really a U2 fan but The Edge's sound is my favorite part.

That's some impressive stuff. Especially love the look of that hoof.
