Finally boxed up the Black 65 project. Big thanks to Madbean for creating the nice layout and Haberdasher for the always excellent etched pcb
The graphic features a "blackface grill" below and a 6L6 pinout diagram on top in homage to Fender. This is just a FANTASTIC overdrive. It is so dynamic and musical. A must build if you like the blackface sound and then some. The TMB controls are very responsive as well. When I turn the mids up it sounds very close to my 5E3 Tweed when cranked. Cut the mids and up the bass a bit and its all blackface again ;D

I like your style, dude.
Very cool! I have this on my "to do" list.. perhaps it is time to get started on it! Love the graphic!
sweet visuals, congrats on a nice lookin build!
Yeah, definitely on my to do list.
Build looks great!
Outstanding build, Pryde.
Nice looking build! Now I am definitely going to build one of these. Also I think this is the first build report for this project so kudos to you.
Really nice build, man! I think you've sold me on building one as well; time to hit Keefe up for an etch or two. ;D
Nice job indeed. Love the graphics. Where did you get the TMB knobs?

Thanks. The small knobs are just Davies 1900 clones. Here you go:

That is a tidy build. Great graphics. You are tempting my solder gun. Stop it.
Wow, that looks great man. Excellent job.
Great build! Love the knobs choice and layout.. wd :)
Hi, nice build man, congrats.Do you hear some background floor noise on your build?as if you could hear the trannys working or something?because mine does that...

Love it!
Love the faux grill too!
@ garfo:
No background noise that is noticable in mine. Seams to be very quiet really.
Another outstanding pedal, love the graphics.
Thanks. This build is a few months old but I did post a more recent demo of this pedal in the audio section if anyone is interested in having a listen.
Was a pcb ever made for this?
