That Warmjet! I just pm'd ghost for a pcb. I love the layout and the art and it's soo good. I wanna see the LEDs in person. Wiring up LEDs like that is genius.

Here's a louzy Les Lius clone from the Lavanche pcb off Madbean...unknobbed...and crooked...but functional and in a huge picture

I had to run 3 strings of LEDs in series with each their own 9 volt battery! That part of the build I figured out last, kind of a headache. I probably won't do that again. I wanted to have the LEDs fade in/out when switched but just fucking finished the fuckers. Get the board, it's fucking beautiful. It's a great fuzz, too. Has its own character. So far it seems to stack pretty well, too. If I built another I would do the bias controls as trim pots. There is few sweet spots but they are bias trims, most of the ranges are just full of hiss. But I also am liking less knobage these days.

I have had this $12 dollar transistor for a rangemaster from small bear for about 3 years. Finally I fucking built it and fuck, it fucking rocks. I had never played this circuit and it's always what I have been missing. Rangemaster, telecaster deluxe, guild thunderbass, 1x15 cab = pure rock and roll.

Seriously.... I have to follow that??? That's the most awesome tremolo pedal I think I've ever seen. You win.

My new pedal-

Built to give me all the drive I need (fuzzes live on another part of the board :) ). It's a toobscreamer, modded rat and russian muff (all built on MadBean boards, which are awesome BUY THEM AND BUILD THEM ALL!). My first attempt at enclosure finishing, using Posca pens. This thing really sounds excellent.

Heh... Thanks.

Yours looks great-- I really love the design, and the guts look excellent. Mine are a mess.

Good repurpose! Also great use of paint pens. I'm gonna acquire some soon and hopefully be patient to do something as neat as that.
