Title: Aion Cirrus build "Annuit Cœptis"
Post by: LateCentury on April 04, 2017, 03:07:18 AM
I finally boxed up another project tonight. This is the Aion Cirrus, their take on the Super Tube Screamer with the different clipping options and the ability to toggle between other types of overdrives. I used the SD-1 as the other option. It sounds pretty great with a lot of reverb, you can really nail some David Gilmore type tones. I think I might  switch the clipping the other way around, I'm getting a little crackle when there is a lot of treble. The inspiration for the enclosure design is really just random things. Oh and yes, I realize in the photo the wiring is backwards for the input/output. I fixed it after I realized there was no sound. Also, the inside of the enclosure is a mess due to a stupid painting disaster. Out of sight, out of mind.  ::)

Wow!
It is very professional looking, neat!

I always liked the "illuminati" style pedals, it gives it a nice "mystery" feeling to it! (mojo mojo!)

Another good looking pedal. Are you using waterslides?

When I saw the title, I thought, "I bet that's going to be a really cool looking build." And when I opened the thread, I exclaimed, "Annuit!"

Thanks! No, I'm using laser prints and transferring with polyurethane. I wrote up a long explanation in this thread:
