Awesome job, and I love the design of the PCBs.  What are circuits based on?

Thanks guys.
Lizzard drive is based on T-Rex Gristle King, Blue Preamp on the Xotic BB+ Preamp left side and Cranked on Crunch Box.

What's your finishing technique on the tops of the pedals?  They look so shiny and the lettering is so crisp. Nice work!

For finishing I use laser etched faceplates..

Gristle King is little bit differently voiced TS circuit.. It works great with Fender style amps.

Did you have normal volume with your gristle king? I managed to tame mine a bit but it is still super loud.

Yes, it works normal. Diodes effect volume a lot, which one did you use?

I had problems with them too (burned them), so I ended with 1n4148 in D5 and BAT 41 in D3 position with great result..

hmmmm. that could be the issue. If nothing was clipping the signal, or there was only one diode, it would be way louder. i'll have to look at the schematic and crack mine open again.

Very cool as always. are the faceplates metal ?
Title: Re: Gristle King, BB and AT drive
Post by: brejna on April 24, 2017, 06:27:19 PM
Thanks guys, faceplates are somekind of plastics with a layer of paint..
