Title: Explosive Rat Clone
Post by: gorditas on April 02, 2016, 05:55:20 AM
This was a productive week for me. In addition to "Mr. Fusion," I just finished up my first Rat clone. Continuing with my quest for humorous graphics, I tried to think of what would be the opposite of a Rat. I thought of a cat, and the yellow PCB reminded me of the firecrackers I loved to light yesterday, I mean, when I was a kid.

This is another Aion board. It incorporates the "Ruetz" mod as well as select-able clipping. I purchased and installed the original LM308chips, but found that I actually prefer sound of LED clipping with the OP07 chips. But I always send the vintage and new spec chips to the new owners. They can decide for themselves.

This is fantastic. Love the colors and the graphics. Is this another PPP UV print? I'd be really interested in a quick rundown of how you normally do that, whether this is one of those or not.

Looks really great! I immediately smiled at the nostalgia of the black cats and the inexplicable fear of losing a finger (or two) :)

Thanks, everyone. I posted this quite a while ago. I don't know why it suddenly got views today! Glad you enjoy it and got a laugh or two. Humor is my favorite ingredient in pedal graphics.

It is another PPP print. I have typed up a draft tutorial on how I do the prints. I will attach it below.

I can explain that, I was looking through the build reports and saw your dual overdrive and then looked at your other posts! Also, I appreciate the tutorial.

Thanks, glad I could be of help. If you find areas that need correcting, please let me know. I'm in talks with PPP about making it part of their website.

That is a really clean looking pedal. And the Bat Cat reminded me of blowing my fingers up when I was little. LOL.

Very, very nice.  Brings back happy memories of Black Cat fireworks.
