Title: MB Retrograde (Octavia)
Post by: Stomptown on July 26, 2016, 03:56:12 PM
My pops was interested in the tycobrahe octavia circuit so I decided to surprise him and build one for his birthday. Once I started reading up on the circuit I had to have one for myself so I ended up building two of them. I don't regret the decision! This is one mean octave fuzz!

It took many attempts to get the red/blue splatter paint just right.  I must have started over five times!  I initially wanted a red white and blue splatter theme but the white didn't look as good as I hoped.  I even tried white knobs instead of white splatter but it just didn't translate for some reason.

Your killing it Jon. I love the red and blue splatter and that etch is razor sharp.

Killer design.  I love that look; it almost looks like an oil slick paint job.

This one doesn't quite reach the Memory Man etch but it is really close.  You do fantastic work and should do a tutorial if you haven't. This and the Memory Man are very impressive.  And the inside is so clean.
