Title: Marshall mania and more rock'n roll
Post by: cooder on December 12, 2020, 02:12:56 AM
Some recent boxings:
Catalinbread DLS MKIII black version with added charge pump to switch to 18V and boy does that make a difference. So worth having on this or if you don't, have a psu where you can plug in 18V as it becomes a different beast.
Beast it is anyway, a lot of glorious Marshallness in this one, I split the mode switch (on original a 4DPT hidden on inside... doh) into two 2DPDTs on dashboard which gives it extra flexibility with gain staging.
Noice. Killa sounds in this one.

Glory Ride is a JHS Morning Glory with added 9 to 18V chargepump switchable. R & R.

Sugar Hit is a Timmy original version with added 9 to 18V chargepump because why not. Also I changed the diection of bass and treble to go cw for more. And a more logical placement of controls me thinks, clipping switch on dash.

Goldilocks is a Friedman Golden Pearl, nice low to mid gain Marshall territory and tweakable with clipping (voice) and bright switch.

Raticus is ... well... a Rat. Built after MB Slow Loris schematic, great version for sure. Got an ol' school metal can LM308.

Soulbender. A nice set of AC127 from your friendly Ozzie Paul at DIY guitar pedals. It rips.

Wow- I'm quite jealous of every single circuit here-.  The 18v charge pumps are awesome and I like how you split the 4p2t in your "Marshall Mania," however, what really stands out to me is your "Sugar Hit."  The controls make so much sense that I never would've guessed it's a "Timmy!"

This must be Catalinbread appreciation month.  Aion had a sale and was sporting all things CB so I snagged the DLS MkI and DLS MkIII, the Galileo, and for a change up the IVP preamp.

Every build report I always stare at the graphics and build yet with yours I am always blown away by the boards and the layout, really nice work.

The marshall mania is exactly what CB should have done with that pedal.

The CB dls mkI is such a great drive pedal, I have a haberdasher board from years ago that is always in heavy rotation.

Cheers guys high praise indeed.

Catalinbread has really some amazing sounding circuits out there I concur. I Probably should put a DLS I on my list as well, I had one years ago and loved it too until a friend borrowed it.  ;) Time to build a new one me thinks.

Love these. They remind me of when I was airbrushing for harley and used kandy paints on silver. Are you doing waterslides and covering with plexi?
