Title: Aristocrat and others...
Post by: CurlyMo on February 18, 2012, 03:50:20 AM
Finally finished my first of 2 Aristocrats! I've only had the boards for over a year...
Through my ZT Lunchbox it sounds pretty good but I'm giving it the full test drive with my Li'l Dawg Super Dawg at tomorrow nights gig...I can't wait!

My first 1590A...I just cannibalized one that I had in a 1290.

Not a Madbean but my second GGG "Boutique Boost" that I finished for a friend.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm kinda sad to see the Fluff Boost go out the door...I guess I'm just going to have to build another one, oh shucks! I am digging the hammer finished boxes from PPP with smaller labels, I think that might the direction I start going in. I love textures...imagine that, a pedal junkie that loves textures...ha!

Post-gig update: The Aristocrat through a tweed circuit rocks! It also sounds great stacking the low gain channel with the Mangler...helps the fuzz cut through the mix better. It was a little scary going into a gig with my whole drive/fuzz section being d.i.y. but what a feeling after it was over knowing that everything worked consistently! Guess I need to start playing more gigs to fund more pedal builds...

It's funny, I used to think ...uh oh,what if my DIY builds stop working during a set. 

Now I'll bring something that I've only tested after the initial fire up and not even think twice about it.
