Now with more chunk!

I used to own a dual rectifier so I decided to build a chunk chunk because I was feeling sentimental (plus I have not built a fully finished pedal for myself for a long time).  It's a pretty much stock chunk chunk but I shoehorned it in a 125B.  I did change C11 to a 10nF for less fizz.  The "clickless" bypass is my own programmed attiny and PCB.  The pedal is biased to taste with J201's from tayda (less gain).  They are actually biased a bit lower than 4.5V as I did it per ear to where I liked.  The enclosure is one I painted with some light blue rustolium hammertone.  Graphics are waterslide.

The pedal sounds fantastic and is whisper quiet even with the gain fully clockwise.  It does envoke the flavor of the mesa dual rec so I'm pretty happy!

That's baddass! Challenge accepted! That's the same color as the tremolo pedal I got. Did I get it from you?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Nice. Any chance that you mike sell boards + micro for the clickless. I know someone that would buy a boatload.  8)

I really like the vertical layout. Great paint work on the enclosure too.

I'm honestly not sure or not if it's something I'm going to release, I may do a small test batch and see how they are received before doing any high volume runs.

I'll keep my eye out for that. Clickless is both wonderful from a playing perspective, and there are twenty million or so cool momentary switches available on Ebay.

Cheers.

This looks really cool...I've been eyeing that light blue rustoleum hammertone at Home Depot for a while now. What was your method for getting good results with it? Any special tricks involved?

Heavy coats or it won't create the hammertone finish.
