Title: Companion Fuzz and Eqd tentacle
Post by: Thewintersoldier on February 28, 2021, 12:46:27 PM
Here are a couple small builds that I put together this weekend while I had some spare time. First up is a Aion Fy-2 companion Fuzz. Simple straight forward can of bees with optional volume boost and mids knob. It's like a fuzzrite on steroids. Next is the eqd tentacle which is a modded green ringer. I like using octave up on a clean tone sometimes so this is fun to have. Low parts count on both is always a plus. I'm starting my 2 chorus builds next so Im gonna be busy for a couple weeks with that so I figured I'd throw these together. Miles Morales on the companion Fuzz and doc ock on the tentacle. No film decals on tayda powder coated enclosures.

Always killer! I was hoping you had gone with Omega Red on the tentacle though since I'm partway through the current wolverine run and x of swords ⚔️⚔️

Nice, those looks great. Very clean. I really like the looks of your pedal "Brand", very clean and detailed.

Here's a question, what does your pedal storage system look like? Mines is boxes everywhere so far. I have some Rubbermaid shoe boxes that work well also. There has to be a better way. Takes me forever to find what I'm looking for.

omega red was one I was considering but I'm a spiderman guy at heart and I'm trying to do a sinister six group and already have a couple down. The x-men was probably my second favorite series and I have quite a few of them done as well.

Thanks Jimi, honestly I have 3 spots in the basement. The biggest stash is in a table that has two big ass baskets built into it. Then on top of my piano I have a bunch on display, followed by what's on/around my pedalboard. I plan on putting together a big 5 shelf book shelf to put them on. I can do multiple rows per shelf. The piano would then be overflow. I'd like to do each shelf as a category, like modulation, overdrive or delay.

Ah, nice categorizing. I hadn't thought about that.

I love me some Spider-Man too.

Very cool stuff. Into The Spider-Verse is IMHO the best comic book movie ever made.

I appreciate how much Marvel is changing their characters around lately. They've been telling Peter Parker stories for 60 years now right, so I think it's okay to change it up a bit.

Those look sharp.  I like how you handled mounting that Tentacle board, going to try that.
