SonicVI, those are some nice parts you used in there. It's gotta sound great with that wiring. How does it compare to an original tweed deluxe?

Son of Screamer with a toggle for germanium or LED clipping

The difference between the two is so drastic. The germaniums have a classic sound with a warmth and compression-- perfect for white boy blues and other things that call for low to medium gain haha. The LED's are much louder and crunchier.

It was also my first time using this larger wire. It's 22 gauge but I didn't realize the insulation was so thick until I saw it next to the red and black wire I use to connect power. I like it, though... it's beefy!

Starts with a simple Hip Hop beat from a Zoom drum machine-unaltered and the same beat for the whole clip. All I'm doing is manipulating the pedal:

Here's a pic of my circuit-bent Grilled Cheese pedal with a 'possible alternate' housing scheme next to it - silly. Elwood has dibs on the next one off the block, but I will try and make more. Also-I will do the mod to your existing Grilled Cheese for a modest price if you wish...trust me, you ain't never heard no fuzz like this shit. I was as surprised as anybody that a crap ass cheapo Dan-o could be made into something so, um, beautifully insane. Oh, yea, and I've found a way to make it midi-controllable, too. More L8R.

I Want to hear this Cheese Grater ! but the link is inop. , where's the demo and what mods did you get out of it ?! , I'm sure being Lo-Fi to begin with it becomes a Beautiful mess !!!

nice lookin stuff nbabmf! love the brown on brown treatment on the 808. how's that thing sound?

Re: Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:44 pm

BROWN! The LED's bring the rawk.

The germanium side is considerably more tame, but not without use. It's got a warm, mild crunch.
