This is my take on Aion's tight metal. Runs at 9v and 18v. The idea for the power switch came from the Motley Crue drive. I think it's a great switch to use in this situation. I have the penmanship of a toddler. This pedal Rawks \m/ \m/.







Here's a quick and dirty demo

I have a small collection of limited edition plumes.

If you do too, this is a must. I just found this one.

I finally finished my Bachelor's  degree in cloud computing. It was a long 4 years +1 year off after my first year, but I'm done. Now I can get back to playing guitar.

I am working on troubleshooting this build. It's Kevin's version of the tight metal drive. What is the purpose of D2? I have no sound on pins 2 and 1 of the opamp. Nothing past the diode, just the pin 3 side. I've lifted the south leg of the diode and audio probed it, still no audio. Anybody have any ideas?

Interesting. I don't remember if I posted this or not.

this is a demo of the Supercharged over drive. It's hard and heavy, this thing has no clean setting. This is what it sounds like when a bass player plays guitar.

I like noise machines, these are fantastic pedals in their own right. A MBP Tone Virus. Lots of fun noises to be had.

Organ donor from PPCB this is just cool as hell. An EQD organizer work alike.

I bet I troubleshot this thing for 30 minutes. It's supposed to sound like that AND it's polyphonic. Watch a video before you build it. That being said....

It's an awesome fun little noise maker as only EQD could do. I like it, and I can't wait to box it up.

Ordered over 100 in parts and still forgot audio jacks.
Placed another order, didn't order dc jacks. Son of a bit....

I made some 3pdt boards to line up with my pedals. It's much quicker to wire.

The build is a Timmy. I found various schematics online, so I mixed them up and here is what I decided on.

I did figure out it sounds better with single coils, humbuckers get all muddy.






This bad body is the Supercharged Overdrive. There are no clean settings here it's all dirt all day long. Sounds fantastic.






This is part of the Ibanez sound tank series, the CD-5 Cyberdrive. From what I understand, it's an Ibanez wah in a 125b rather than a wah shell.

Have a fantastic day full of solder and or family!

Can you see a difference at all between these two schematics? I've hunted and I don't see it. The problem I'm having is it goes from ungodly slow to usable fast but no more. It should go much faster speed wise.

First up is a Deucetone, several clipping options along with series or parallel out.








Madbean Bassballs filter. It really sounds cool and the EQ is super helpful.






Catalinbread Secret Freq. all of their stuff I've built is super crunchy.






Custom Badass modified overdrive .
I really dig this one.








Custome Badass 798distortion. It sounds ok pretty close to a dS-1

This is the last of the black series, I set a bar for myself and I need to meet my expectations. 

Start with the mason jar /Moonshine on the right, the middle is a Blue Morning / Morning Glory and on the right is an Angry Charlie. The signal path starts in the middle with the Blue Morning and the flipper switch swaps the outer effects. I put a buffer switch on the left cause I had an extra hole, and this was easier than patching it. The gut shot shows a power /ground distribution piece of vero. Lots of wires.

I'm working on a multi effect with 2 flipper switches and 3 effects. How can I wire in the third effect to the flipper?

This is a pretty cool overdrive, takes a little to tame it. It probably sounds better with single coils. It sounds brutal with Humbuckers. Any way, it's an SD-9M. The left is clipping diodes and the right is a mods switched. I knicked the mods from Aion, the original only has two positions for each, this one has 3.

I decided it was ok not to do graphics, it's such a PITA

Sushi Box Effects Black Eye Overdeive








Next is the Madbean Charlatan. Really need effect, and you know I gotta build a Phaser.






This is a TSV808 Vermeran Tube Screamer on a pedal PCB board. Bigger louder more betterer







This is an Opti-Comp. This is a recreation of the first pedal I ever built. I "traded" it to a "friend" that screwed me over.  So I made another one since you can't buy them.
