Fuzz box with fabfilter saturn mod#

Finally, the third switch (and 2 green knobs) works the modified вЂњLittle AngleвЂќ chorus (IвЂ™m still tweaking this one to taste *).ДЄll told, itвЂ™s a crazy mess of sonic destruction that is both versatile and absolutely insane. The second switch (and 4 red knobs) controls a crazy fuzz/echo circuit based on the вЂњNoise EnsembleвЂќ (I added a few extra knobs). Quack circuit (a better version of the EHX Dr. The breakdown is as follows: the first switch (and 2 yellow knobs) operate an auto wah- the Dr. All in all, IвЂ™m not sure how useful this will be on stage, as itвЂ™s pretty unwieldy, but itвЂ™s also a hell of a lot of fun. In this case, I had a few quirky circuit boards kicking around and decided to cram as much as I could into a single alphabet-themed cookie tin. Of course, we all know that when the catвЂ™s away the mouse willвЂ¦uhвЂ¦build a ridiculous guitar pedal. Laura (re: half the band) was away for the last two weeks of January working on her tan.

IвЂ™m going to try to mod mine to include a jack to supply power to a couple pedals for added portabilityвЂ¦ In fact, lately IвЂ™ve been playing it through a 1/2-sized Jay Turser I got for $60 (pictured below with the homemade cabinet), so thatвЂ™s an entire rig that sounds great for only about $100!Д¬heck out the build thread at for more info. WeвЂ™ll be taking it on tour as a backup along with a homemade speaker cabinet I made out of an old reel-to-reel box-the pair sounds awesome!

This happy little dude is capable of putting out 20 watts of crystal clear clean volume (depending on the speaker) and cost me about $40 to build (including getting the power supply off eBay). Based around the use of laptop power supply, as there are a gazillion of them floating around without a functioning laptop to give power to, the Tiny Giant bypasses the danger of high-voltage and allows for a very compact, yet powerful amp. My homemade Fender 5F2-A amp isnвЂ™t loud enough for most shows, so IвЂ™m working on a bigger tube amp (based on an Ampeg Jet), but it wonвЂ™t be ready in time.Д®nter the Tiny Giant, an amplifier design from (whose projects I fully endorse). Getting ready for our upcoming tour of eastern Canada has me taking stock of what we need for the trip. Those of you who follow us on Twitter know about the excellent records and things IвЂ™m alway s picking up there (got a ton of great stuff today, including The Art of Noise, This Mortal Coil, The The, The Boomtown Rats and moreвЂ¦). Oh, and I found the a wesome tin at Goodwill for $0.99. Check it out for yourself at the Blackstone Appliances page. For one, itвЂ™s not just another repackaged Tubescreamer, and also the real deal is about half the size of mine and looks great. That said, this is one of the rare builds where IвЂ™d almost have preferred just buying the thing. Of course, for the sake of masochistic exhaustiveness, IвЂ™m going to build a similar project by the fine fellas at called the Double D (both use the same chip for a similar dual channel ideaвЂ¦) to compare. All told, IвЂ™ve been having a ton of fun with this one and recommend checking it out. Without getting too technical, itвЂ™s basically a вЂњdual channelвЂќ overdrive that allows you to toggle between 2 different gain settings in one pedal-pretty useful if you want to dial in a crunchy rhythm sound then punch up the gain for a solo. After some digging online I had to give it a try. A friend of mine recently picked up a secondhand Blackstone Mosfet Overdrive and was raving about it. In fact, I probably shouldnвЂ™t have taken the time to build this oneвЂ¦but I couldnвЂ™t resist. ItвЂ™s been a while since I had any time to build a pedal.
