Title: Musket Fuzz (Blackout Effectors)
Post by: pryde on December 08, 2012, 12:45:50 AM
Here is a Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz on vero done for a local musician. He has not seen it, I think he will be pretty stoked.

Basically the circuit is a Civil War BMP with a booster in front. There are a lot of great fuzz tones in this baby. The 6 pot off-board wiring was a pain in the ass and not the cleanest but it works/sounds great. I would like to see a pcb project of this one with board-mounted pots, hint...  ;)

Anyway. A satifying build overall.

Looks nice, looks pretty clean to me. 

What vero did you use for that one?  This has been one I've been thinking about building.

Here you go. I did not do any mods to it, sounds great as is.

Cool,  just saw a post on the TDPRI forum of a guy showing off his new musket pedal.

Awesome graphics.  Nice job.   I have the Very Special Twosome with the Musket in one half.  Awesome.

I really like the artwork on that.  Rest of it works for me, too.  :-)

Very nice build mate!

I love the look and features of the Blackout stuff (keep on looking for a s/hand Whetstone but no luck so far).

Hi, i've just finished a musket i'm building for a guy, one from the same layout you have, i came across that site. The thing is, i hear a volume drop as soon as i start to roll the tone knob, and i also find it to lack gain, the original seems more powerfull. Did yours had those issues?

Wow old thread resurrected. No that pedal had tons of gain and output, tone controls worked great as well. Has to be an error on your end. Post up in troubleshoot section and maybe we can get it sorted.

Ohh sorry, i just noticed when this thread's last post was made, my bad! I noticed more people in the comments of the website where that layout is, complaining about the same issues but no solution, so you could have had the same problems and fixed them or something similar. Thanks for the reply.

Interesting. I don't recall any issues or fixes I had to make with that one but then again it was a few years back. It does remind me how much I now hate vero though  :)

This was my first vero, and i really don't think i want to get back to it, the pots are a pain to solder, a huge mess, and so much cable wasted. I think we both hate it!
