A buffered, active blend and optical feedback loop with an IC boost at the input for a little extra crunch. Built during a blizzard because why not?
A custom 4-channel overdrive that combines anything from a Pejibaye to a certain green, Japanese overdrive from the 80’s – with a lot of character and surprises in between. This one went to Indiana.
A two-channel OD combining a Pejibaye with a certain green, Japanese OD from the 80’s…
Another two-channel OD combining a Pejibaye with a more-modified Japanese OD from the ’80’s.
The unholy fusion of a Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer with a MidFi Clari(not). The knobs are a little skewered due to my cat, who likes absconding with said things, though in all I think it adds to the funkiness. This one’s destined for use in EMA.
Custom pedal Number 49. Affectionately described as a “Blue Box but even more fucked up,” this guy features a 4 transistor high gain fuzz run into a 4040 voltage divider on a blend circuit. This one went the way of Jana Hunter.
The Eyetennuator – a boxed rendition of the proto Euro-module I built fr a few friends over the holidays.
Custom Pedal 50 – The Trip Metal commemorative Sound Unit – a CMOS fuzz akin to my last couple builds but with an off-biased 4040 on the output to throw things off ever so slightly. The name is obviously a reference to late-Obama era Wolf Eyes aesthetics – because that’s not fringe or anything.
A quartet of CV to expression converters.
Custom Pedal 51 – another variation on my CMOS experiments, this one with some fun, responsive NOS clipping diodes and LED’s and whatnot.
Custom Pedal 52. An Octavia. Covered in fur.
Custom Pedal 53 – The Trojan Ram – otherwise known as a 73 Ram’s Head and Pejibaye in the same box.
The Codex, aka Custom Pedal 54, combining an Interfax Harmonic Percolator with a Gold Standard.
Custom Pedal 55. This is a 4-channel analog-voiced delay. It’s based off two delay circuits that are switchable between two banks of presets each. It actually sounds really nice!
THE VF-2/Number 57 – a 23 and Gold Standard in the same box. A sea foam green box at that.
Number 58 – My first pedal, a 4th gen Big Muff Pi – gutted and rehoused in a box half the size, wired for true-bypass switching, jacks upgraded and a new set of transistors since the original Russian set were finicky, to say the least. Now living in Detroit.
Number 59 – Another one of those feisty vibrato pedal’s I’ve been known to make. This one’s headed to San Diego, by way of New York (though has since left San Diego and is back in New York).
The “Spidey” Vibrato (Number 60) – Yet another vibrato. This one’s going to Costa Rica by way of San Francisco. Yes, that is indeed a slammer from a mid-90’s comic-book themed set of pogs.
MicroCassette Fuzz (Number 61) – Me trying to be all Mid-Fi Demo Tape, but instead of trying to emulate a 4-track, I was going after the sound of a Microcassette recorder.
Number 62. Trojan Ram Number 2. Same circuits, different knobs.
MossWave 18 (Number 63) – A fancy MossWave from the secret menu.
