Hedley & Wyche OD&Boost, Phantom Pain audio router

[diablochris6]

Up first is the Hedley & Wyche Overdrive. I originally came up with this distortion after looking at several Vox amp schematics, but it turned into its own little beast. It has gain, volume, and treble cutoff controls as well as a tone switch that I call the 15/30 since it can make the circuit sound a little boxier like a smaller amp. There is also an independent pre-gain boost that can be used on its own or drive the OD into high-gain, fuzz madness. It's hard to see in these pics, but the paint is navy with gold lettering.


A little video demo (pardon the out of tune guitar- old strings don't hold tune very well):

Next up is the Phantom Pain audio router that I finally boxed up. You can find more info on what this is elsewhere on the forum, but it basically allows you to take any three effects and mix them in series, parallel, or both with a turn of the pot.

I don't get it, the overdrive has the DiabloChris man on the PCB, but there are only four pots and a toggle? Chris, has someone pirated your logo?

All very neatly done!

Both look awesome, Chris!

I thought this, too:) I think the neuron in the graphics tells us he's finally taken the next step in pedal evolution.....Mind Knobs!

Love the LED pad placement on the footswitch PCB!

Glad to see the Biology book is back

The phantom pain, that is a lot of jacks. Must order more.

Some pedal-building friends had an intervention for me to help me with my knob addiction, so I decided to scale back from my initial 47-knob design.

Haha.

I usually try and place my picture somewhere to tickle my whimsy. Glad to see it amuse somebody else too.

I guess my modus operandi consists of 1) a whole bunch of knobs, 2) the devil-man logo, and 3) a cellular biology textbook.
