Title: Mark Two (OC 84 Loaded TB MKII)+Soundclip!
Post by: raulduke on April 29, 2013, 10:00:18 AM
Latest of my 'Mojo' builds I have been doing.

Here be a Tonebender Mark II stuffed with OC84's.

Soundclip:
[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/sj-audio-effects/tonebender-mkii-demo[/soundcloud]

Also has an internal voltage inverter (the PCB attached to the 3PDT), so the pedal can be powered/daisy chained with other standard NPN pedals.

Sounds nice and growly. The fuzz is a bit warmer and 'open' in comparison to my OC75 loaded Mark II (to my ears anyway).

Something about TB MKII's just make me want to play Led Zeppelin  :)

Madbean has the RoadRage PCB available, which does the job very nicely.

Really sweet build.  Love the guts!  I'm jealous, I've been wanting to build one of these for the longest time.

Great work as always (I really like the graphic style you've developed) -- killer clean layout, too.

I really like how the voltage inverter is part of the 3PDT PCB. Makes for a way cleaner wiring/boxing job. This build is positively swimming in mojo!

I have a nice set of 2n1305s just waiting to be put in a MKII-type build; this is exactly the color scheme I had in mind. If I'm not too lazy to paint the box myself, that is!  ;D I really with PPP would start carrying this color.

Another beauty. I love your work, Steve. The aesthetics, circuits, wiring - all of it. And your playing is excellent. Your demos kill.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that switch discolored? This is a beautiful build!
