Title: My latest batch of builds
Post by: jimilee on June 25, 2021, 03:39:11 PM
Words words words, I know, I'm sorry.

So, as you know, I build a bunch at the same time. Here are my latest. I have enjoyed watching my own pedals, and since I don't already have 100 boards to build, I've been making my own as well. Let's get to it:

The first is a JHS morning glory with a tone and extra dirt switch. It's a light to medium gain drive.

The next is a Boss SD-2. I ordered the 40th anniversary pedal, so I built this while I was waiting.

The next is a Madbean Mysterioso. If you haven't built one of these, you're eating tour life. It's an amazing overdrive, full of tone and crunch.

Finally, we have an Uber Tuber. It's alright, I see it as kore of a preamp type pedal than an overdrive. It's more of a light gain over drive. 

Not pictured: an EQD Plumes. It's fricken heavy and awesome. I removed the DS-1 circuit from last time, it's still terrible, and put it in that enclosure.

Nice ones Jimi, and those etched boards look great. I like the graphics on the black stone, how does it sound?

It's a warm distortion / sound.  It has sound great dynamics options that will react to your picking style. I love mosfet, I have a hartke bass head I used to gig with, it has a mosfet channel.

Mysteriouso is a cool pedal.  Like the Anderton Tube Sound tweaked like crazy.

I like the Uber Tuber as well.  Jimi, I don't know if anyone replied to you but it's not a very gainy pedal at max but does nicely with a boost out in front, or the UT warming up the front of an overdrive pedal.

Thanks Gordo. I watched several Blackstone videos and started looking everywhere for a board, only to realize bean had one. I found the original trace from 2017, but I figured this one would be less trouble with a prefab board.

Never got an answer in the UT, but that's what I was thinking, too. A boost or a tone shaper in front of my amp, like a preamp. I just didn't know if there was another way to compensate internally for the higher voltage I was getting.

Excellent bunch there, great stuff! The Mysterioso makes me very curious then as well... Dig the 'Madbean Appliances'.
