Title: AION Cerulean built to MG Specs
Post by: mjcyates on December 05, 2013, 09:25:55 AM
This is an Aion Electronics Cerulean board built to Morning Glory specs. This is a great sounding low gainer. The board was excellent as was the build documentation. Fired up first time with no problems. Highly recommended. I also have the Aion Stratus board that I will be building next. I believe I will be building it to Fulldrive specs.

Very clean wire job you have there. I am inlove with my MG clone. I have built a few of them but have yet to do Aion's layout.

Looks great, I really like the Gear like stomp Switch.

Looks great! What do you mean when you say it's built to MG specs?

I think hes talking about MG=Morning Glory its a JHS Morning Glory which is a modded Marshall Bluesbreaker. Great sounding pedal.

Thanks the 3PDT switch board from Josh makes wiring so much easier.

Thanks I ripped off that idea from one of our fellow madbeaners. I think it adds a nice touch, especially since I never do any graphics on my builds.

Morning Glory. As in the JHS Morning Glory. It as well as the Analogman King of Tone are just different variations on the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit.

Ripped off or not I might try something like this

It looks very steampunk. you should add a small copper handle on the top from an old cupboard or something.

I used this live tonight for the first time and it sounded great. Really like this one for low gain rhythm stuff.

Very nice! Inside and outside are pro all the way. Were the jacks low enough to give the 3PDT board enough clearance?

Thanks. Yes the jacks were low enough so that I did not have any clearance issues. I will post my Stratus build when I get it completed.

I build the AION Fulldrive and am very pleased.  I'm almost done with the KOT build. Maybe i'll have to get another and try the MG build.
