Poodle's Pedal Parts PCB. Love the fuzz section on this, so heavy!

QOTSA artwork for extra Homme points!

Hi guys,

Just had a question about what sort of pedal I would need for the following application;

Basically I run a guitar into a Micro POG and send the Effect Out to a bass amp to sort of replicate a bass guitar. The sound is pretty good but sometimes a bit uneven, I'm looking for a pedal that will help even it out and sort of tighten up and fatten the sound a bit, would a compressor be the right pedal for the job? If so, could anyone point me in the direction of a good DIY project for one?

Much appreciated!

Its an Alembic Stratoblaster, Poodle Parts pcb. Been wanting to give a 1590A a go for a while, not sure I'll do more but this was a fun project and unlike my recently posted overdrive actually works, hurrah!

Went for a Moollon vibe with the etch...

First build of 2014, the board was a gift from another Madbean forum member. It's a transparent overdrive. Enclosure etched with NaOH.

Hi guys,

Just had a question regarding a toggle switch and an idea I'm brewing at the moment. Basically I want to build two Rat's into one box with the ability to select either one individually but also cascade them together for an ultra gain doom fest! Came across the Deucetone Rat the other day among some other Rat related videos and it sparked my interest.

Ideally I would like the end result to feature one main bypass foot switch and a toggle switch to select either one or both of the circuits, as opposed to just using two foot switches. Would this be possible with an on-on-on toggle or similar? I imagine it to work where for example, the 'up' position is Rat Circuit 1, the 'down' position is Rat Circuit 2 and the middle position is both circuits combined, is this even possible?

I initially was just going to wire both circuits together so it was permanently in double rat mode but then I thought it might be cool to still be able to choose either circuit and have different clipping options on each.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

The riff that comes in at 4:00

Is it an envelope filter of some kind? Just wondering whether the Nautilus could achieve something similar? Obviously there's some overdrive on there too but it's the sort 'waow waow' sound I'm interested in if that makes any sense at all?!

Cheers!

Another great board from Chi_Boy, very pleased with the sound of this one! Box etched with NaOH/Lye.

Sodium Hydroxide etched enclosure.

Really happy with the sound of this pedal, great PCB from Chi_Boy!

Enclosure etched using Sodium Hydroxide and laser toner mask.

Sorry no gut shot as it's already screwed down to my board!
