Title: Pedals For Ukraine - Dizzy Elk
Post by: peccary on March 26, 2022, 11:50:08 PM
Hey folks,

I just wanted to share my offering for the Pedals For Ukraine fundraiser.

This is a Dizzy Elk: it's a Gnat board from PedalPCB with a mod specified (and named) by Music6000 on those forms (not sure if he's a member here). I have built a few of these and it's one of my favorites. It's mean and nasty and big sounding, and, what drew me to it to begin with, it works well with bass and preserves much more of the low end on bass guitar than I'm used to with fuzz pedals.

I'm going to get a sound clip up in the next few days, but just imagine a Jesus and Mary Chain like wall of sound and that'll get you close. I just want to keep playing Spirit in the Sky riff with this thing.

I used Tesla 104NU71 diodes and a D9K diode. The diode in this circuit makes a massive difference in it's character and the D9K is my favorite.

No-film waterslide for the decal.

I think this might be my favorite so far. These 104NU71 transistors are fantastic. I wish I had the guitar skills to really show it off.

I recorded a quick sound sample for the Instagram and figured I'd share it here as well. I'm not much of a guitar player and wish I could show it off better, but I think it sounds pretty radical.
