Thanks Brian, I'm definitely gonna try that out. Im gonna breadboard it after I build my rub-a-dub deluxe.

Thank you guys, we lost of 19 year old cat last year and was not prepared to lose my baby boy at just 8 years old. It's weird working down there without him. It's getting better but I know it takes time. Hoping to get some fun builds in the next few weeks to keep my mind occupied.

Is there a way to dial out the preday completley? Stock has 30ms of predelay with the attack pot at minimum. Ideally I'd like it to start at 0. Thanks

This has been a hard one to box up. The build went smooth and fired up without fuss. Calibration went smooth. As I was building it my my best friend and companion was dying. This was our last build. My dog Gibson who was always by my side passed away three weeks ago while the paint was curing. He had cancer and would do every build by my side. Everytime I tried to box it up the past 3 weeks I couldn't do it cause he wasn't there. So this one is for you Gibby.

I would love be to hear this, I love this kinda mcgyver type build!

All the transistor sets are from smallbear. Generic sets, some had markings, some did not. Some ac128s in there that had markings. I wish I had a transistor tester to let me know what they were but they sound good, right gain and leakage and bias properly.

Very cool collection. Of course I have to ask, which one is your favorite and why?

Out of the group I think the mki is my favorite, the texture and feel is nasty and unruly and it's just nasty...just how I like it!

got around to building  the mkiii so here is the group shot. simple builds and similar yet soooo different in tone and feel. lots of fun in this group!

Fantastic build! I want to build one of these so I will take your advise about the log volume pot.

I love this, I'm looking forward to doing my soon whooly mammoth/mastotron build.

Boston terriers are the best! Hope the little guy gets better.

Your builds all look great. Yes, I love chorus as well. Back in the '80s, it wasn't just the cheesy pop bands using it...it pops up on Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., and other bands' recordings from the era.

Thanks, he's on the upswing now. And modulation in general is great. Some of my favorite bands are from the late 80s to mid 90s alt music scene and made some of the best music using chorus, flanger and phasers. I have  a lectric spaceharpv2 and a mbp current lover up next my bench.

Nice builds all around and the old Dymo labels look very industrial chic.  But the important stuff: how's the dog???

Thanks, I love the Dymo. The Dog is doing better, he's on the mend. He had gotten a really bad UTI and is on his second round of antibiotics. Throwing up for 2 weeks and battling dehydration, he is finally eating again which had me worried. He's a boston terrier who weighed 26lbs and dropped down to 22. he's my inter-species  life partner and it was like seeing the kids sick. He has a spot by my bench so he gets rest while I build.

Completed a bunch of new builds the past couple weeks but waiting for paint to dry, kids starting school and a really sick dog, i'm finally getting around to putting knobs on and taking pictures. this will be the first wave of build reports.
first up is a 1776 cardinal tremolo. turned out great and love how it sounds. Shout out to Jon Patton for his insight on an issue I was having(me being a dumb-ass).


now a couple of madbean builds. Heres a Pork Barrel with MN3207. love this thing as an 80's child.


Now the Aquaboy. no modulation on this one. xvive mn3005. So perfect. I can't wait to start my Aquaboy DLX now. I cant turn it off. I'm using it as a faux reverb at the moment, its just works so much better with my tungsten amp than a reverb pedal.

Welcome, Im new around here in an official capacity but have been lurking for over a year. Everyone here is really helpful and insightful so take their advice. Take your time, have fun and make some noise.

Nice! I miss lic. Great sorted rare transistors at a good price. Well done!

Is Lic Pedals not in business anymore?  I just saw on Ebay that "the seller is away". I like the way they sort and label transistors like those for the Tonebender.

I got this set last december right before he dropped off. He's out of buisness right now and all my other sets are from smallbear or pedalhacker
