Title: Bruin Overdrive
Post by: storyboardist on October 02, 2023, 03:56:18 PM
I've had the boards made, enclosure printed (and even drilled!) for months and finally got this put together over the weekend.

It's a modified Bluesbreaker circuit with an EQD Arrows booster at the output. I've played around with the circuit before, but as part of a 2-in-1 project and wanted a stand-alone version for my personal pedal board. Relay bypass is the Incandenza circuit. 1590B enclosure was UV printed by Tayda (the grey around "Bruin" should have been white but that's Tayda I guess). The "Bruin" name comes from one of my sons. His name is Ewan (Yoo-un) and we've always called him bear or Ewie-bear since he was little, so Bruin's a nod to that. Velcro'd it down on my pedal board almost immediately and played an entire set yesterday with it always on. Might need to make a board for the masses.  ;)

I love the macaroni look of the wiring.  Great looking build in and out!
