Title: Dominatrix - Thunder God - Nautilus
Post by: juansolo on December 05, 2012, 07:44:35 PM
The first of two huge builds based on layouts by R Customs and fabbed by Haberdasher. This is the Dominatrix (Okko Dominator clone).

Then there's the decal. I found this movie poster and shuffled it around to make it fit. It turns out it's a particularly dodgy 70's porno... Excellent.

The second of the R Customs builds, this is the 3 Wreck (Wampler Triple Wreck clone).

Ins and outs are shielded and I've tried to keep every thing as short as possible or away well away from other bits and pieces. It's paid off with a pair of surprisingly quiet builds considering what they do.

Finally, there are not enough pedals with Thor on them. Something I thought I'd correct with this one.

Finally there's my Madbean Nautilus build (Mutron III). Which kicks so much ass, most funkily.

Damn, the wiring on your builds are so neat, its obscene!

Did you design the layout for the triple wreck yourself? I havent seen a pcb for it. (I built a vero one from tagboard effects)

Very nice.  The artwork matches each build excellently!  Especially love the Nautilus.  Looks like it should have barnacles and seaweed inside.

R Customs did it over on FSB. It's lurking in the Triple Wreck thread (Haberdasher etched it for me). It's big mind you, they are both 1590XX builds, just with big knobs and a 10mm LED so it's more in proportion.

I gave in a long time ago trying to do the high gain stuff on vero. I just couldn't get them quiet enough to be usable. This was surprisingly quiet (in the scheme of things!) even unboxed.

awesome builds.  I've been debating which high gainer to build. 
Do you like the Dominatrix or Triple better?

Not had much time with them yet. But the Dominatrix wants to go into a clean amp that has a lot of clean headroom. It's doing all the work and if the amp is crunchy it can get a bit messy. Through my Double Six or a Fender though, I suspect it's going to slay big time.

The Triple does chug. It's more 5150 than Mesa to be fair and it's quite versatile. Saying that they both are. It's a tough call, as they both do a similar thing in a different way. I'm leaning towards the Triple, but I haven't had the Dominatrix on the Double Six yet... I really do think that might be quite spectacular.

After a good play I reckon it comes down to the amp that it's going into. Dominator sounds better on the Double Six than the Triple. Triple sounds better on the MJW than the Dominator. Essentially clean amp with headroom, go Dominator. If you've got some crunch on the amp, go Triple. Both are really good at what they do.

Nice builds man! I really love what you've done with the nautilus. That's an dpdt on off on switch for the hp/bp/lp control right? I think I'll probably do the same when I build one. Oh and the dominatrix is classic!

Awesome as usual. I love the way your builds look like they have a few wires in them. The Nautilus is especially trick looking.
