Aion Refractor - Beauty Booster Combo

[AllenM]

This is a one off custom build I did to help raise money for a local bartender / friend who is going thru cancer treatment. The bar he works for, and the place I hang out to watch bands is putting on a benefit concert with some local bands. Part of the event will be a silent auction which I am making this for.

Basically it's a Aion Refractor (Klon) and a JMK Beauty Booster in a dual pedal layout. I have included an order switch to move the Boost before or after the Klon. For the diodes I used a matched pair of D9Es and made substitutions based on the BYOC Silver Pony specs. Overall this is a really nice sounding combo form my initial play thru. This coming Friday it will be put thru the paces at a live show by a good friend and local guitar master and then he will again play the pedal during his set at the benefit before being auctioned off.

BTW Golden Child is his nickname at the bar.. no idea why but I figured it made a great pedal name

Nicely done!  I like the label maker labels in contrast to the pale gold color.  Very clean inside and out.

Has a very Cornish look to it. Just add a few pounds of black epoxy resin and it would be a perfect replica!

Excellent!

Thanks for the comments! Pedal auctioned for $150 which I figured was pretty good considering the crowd. Every dollar helps.

I like this too! Glad to hear your auction went well. You don't go by Madtone because you are in Madtown, Wisconsin, do you?

The enclosure is the BYOC1610, I like the extra depth it provides (1.5").

Actually it came from my gamer handle - Madstone. When I started trying to come up with a branding for my guitar realted work I realized I could remove the "S" and wamo.. MadTone was born.
