Whole Bunch of Etched Pedals

Been a while  :-[, so here's a few recent builds.

A couple of Booty Thieves (Kingslayers).







I've been constantly futzing with the diodes in these. This one has Mosfets at the moment.







This one's a P19 Muff with a clean blend. Built for a bass player.





I'm not quite sure what's going down with Satan and the Nuns in the picture. Looks like they're passing him babies.  :-\



A couple of SHOs.







A Muff with clean blend paired with the Spackler.





And a couple of Fender Blenders.

These are truly excellent builds. Love the etches, and dig the led coming from the grinder's holes. Genius.

These all look great as usual. I can't believe how clean the crosshatching on the P19 came out.

How are you hooking up the mosfets in the Kingslayer? I don't see any blocking diodes and they don't look like they're in series with each other. If you just put them in parallel they're only working as silicon diodes.

Thanks guys.

Jon, I've just got them back to back with D & G tied.

MOSFETs conduct in both directions like that -- the GD-S connection is a diode with a soft knee that begins conducting around 1.3V, and the S-GD connection is a normal silicon diode (not really any different from a 1n4148, 1N914, or any cheap silicon transistor). Put them back to back like that and you have ... two completely normal silicon diodes minus some small amount of putting them in parallel (fv divides in parallel, sort of, it's not just that the lowest wins). Read this thread for more info. You could use a diode in series with each transistor (see how it's done in the Zen Drive) or simply remove one MOSFET (in which case it's asymmetrical, 1.3V+ on one side and .7V on the other).

Dude your enclosure etching is sublime!  nice builds :)

Really fantastic builds!

Have you considered that maybe Satan is handing babies out? I also really like the pterodactyl flying around up there.

You'd probably have to be on some serious drugs to write that combination of sentences in any other context...

We occasionally have other people's children over, so that has crossed my mind. ;D

There is a whole lot of awesome there, Ben.

Impressive as always mate. That last fender blender is a real standout though, looks like an antique, and loving the led trick, very cool. :)

Ben these look great man! Did you ever get around to that DL4 mod?
