Post by: marauder on June 13, 2012, 02:03:40 PM
Collosalus.
Sounds just like you imagine it does.

Cherrybomb.
Recycled enclosure from a friend, everything in the wrong place for how I like it.
Versatile boost/OD/fuzz when cranked.

I'm liking how the knobs on the Collosalus are color-coordinated for the EVH theme! Sweet.

What transistors did you use for your Cherrybomb? I've got the parts for one feel like playing around with the trannies to come up with an "ultrastoner drive" kind of like what you did on your ultrastoner Muff. I'm thinking one BC109, one 2N3565 and one BC149C. The idea would be to get a heavy, saturated 70s overdrive.

Did you build that enclosure for a Cherrybomb before, or am I just having a flashback?

Same decal as mine (it's a very cool decal). Same compromises on layout as we once again recycled and old enclosure to use with less than ideal layout.

I like the cherrybomb graphic! Where did you find this Lsd comics picture? It's so cool! ;)

It's chopped out of a Monster Magnet promo poster ( it's got Dave Wyndorf's pic on the tab ;) )
