Title: MIAB - Golden Falk
Post by: gordo on February 20, 2022, 01:59:00 PM
I've built a gajillion Marshall in a box pedals and this is one of the nicest.  Board is PedalPCB and I added their simple relay bypass and Kobiconn power buss pcbs. 

Tayda bright silver enclosure, and although this finish seems to seemingly scratch itself, I made it through the build with minimal scuffs :-)

White decal stock that I ordered accidently but came in handy here.

Oh man, that's really sharp. The toggle is a nice addition there.

I have heard nothing but good things about this pedal. Yours looks incredible I cannot wait to build what will end up being the pinto version compared to your ferrari

Wow, that looks incredible!  I'm confused by the white decal stock, did you print gray onto white?

It's actually black onto the white and over a silver enclosure.  Gold would have been the color of choice but no matter what I did it either looked like yellow or baby crap and neither was appealing.  The white decal is surprisingly opaque.

Taking another look at the photo though, it does look grey doesn't it?  It's actually bright white.

The schematic is very similar to the Ramble FX Marvel Drive, but I guess it sounds good.

Never heard of that one but this build has me intrigued enough that I want to go back over the Runoff Groove dissertations and start to figure out the schematic connections between the amps and the pedals that try to emulate them.  I need to get out of my "order board/build board/next" mentality and actually get my own stuff together.
