Title: Black '65 Wampler
Post by: pryde on December 24, 2012, 02:49:04 AM
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

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

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.

@ garfo:

No background noise that is noticable in mine. Seams to be very quiet really.

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?
