The final three and a continuation of last weeks Alpha Dog, here is the Red Wolf. This was the redesign of the Alpha Dog for the Live Series and is way more straight forward but sounds really great. This one has the OP07 chip in it and I am not enough of a Rat aficionado to tell the difference between it and the LM308. It is in a bare enclosure that was airbrushed flat blue and then hand painted with grey wolf. Straight out of little red riding hood, am i right?

Two left...........What will they be......

I've been thinking I need a proper rat. The first pedal I ever had was a vintage big box rat that I never got along with

Nice build.

Built a Rat thinking I had an LM308 in my stash.  Couldn't find it so I ordered an OP07 since 308s had suddenly become unobtainium.  While waiting I remembered I had a 308 in a Black Horse Meerkat that I wasn't in love with, so I pulled it and put it in the Rat.  Was really enjoying the Rat when the 07 came in so I popped it in the Meerkat just to see what happened - it was way better in the Meerkat than the 308.  Haven't got around to checking it out in the Rat.

Another great build, Dan!  8)

My guess for the two left: Tractor Beam and Fuzz Duo?

Thank you all for the kind words. Although I don't plan on building anymore VFE pedals that new motherload pack from Peter is pretty great and there might be more.

The next two are not the fuzz duo or the enterprise, the phaser was one of my first vfe builds and is going to be taking an acetone bath soon because of a bad epoxy pour....

Yep, I bought the motherload...
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

How cool is it?!? I love how well everything is presented and the little history bits in there. I am one step closer to a Ravine and building more shit I don't need.

I really dig the new layouts. I ordered some PCBs from jlcpcb. We'll see how they turn out.

Do the new layouts have soft touch and microcontroller?  If so, how do you get the PIC??

The alpha dog. I ordered it before the motherload was announced. I got 5 boards and 5 companion boards for like $5 or something.
