Title: Fatpants Mini-build
Post by: standingzero on July 28, 2016, 05:20:53 AM

These mini-builds are getting addicting! This is second pedal of my mini-pedalboard project. The Fatpants (Echoplex Pre) Booster runs at 18V and it gives a nice authoritative boost. The added fat switch gives a nice extra bit of girth and at stock it's a good flat boost. If you want a good clean but meaty booster this'll do you right :)

I went with a textured matte black enclosure with an aluminum nod as a slight tip of the hat to an actual EP-1 unit.

The iRig interface and a makeshift breadboard circuit tester have been invaluable while away from my actual work bench.

Looks great inside and out! The soldering job on the PCB in particular is quite impressive! 8)

Thanks!!! I don't ace a desoldering pump or wick with me so I had to be extra slow and careful, haha
