@ Loco: Your Beaver Fuzz looks so cool! Curious how your Mark II sounds. Can we expect something from Dennis in the near future?
@ StupidDream88: I like your new painting style and really look forward for some of your labeled pedals ... also your guts always look so super clean.
@ FrequencyCentral: man you suck is this still a hobby? what are you doing for a living? building spaceships? outstanding!!!

Looks like you are building the spaceships Sunmachine.

@StupidDream88 - Very sweet

Yes , I just talked to Dennis about doing a new round of video. Thanks for the kind words

I think Rick is out defending the streets of London in his FC danskin.

Well I figure if I can just get enough stages of phase shift I'll be able to create a wormhole portal into another dimesion of the time sapce continuum. Perhaps. Maybe.

Shin-Ei FY-2 for me, Wooly Mammoth + Dark Boost for the bassist. Yes, he requested oversized pots.



I don't feel like doing gutshots, they aren't pretty anyway.

I love that enclosure, especially the stomp

Woot! Love the new pics and the layout on your blog. Florally speaking.

thats the second truck mirror this month. I think I like it.

My own take on the whole three-transistor fuzz thing. Part Tonebender, part Radio Shack Fuzz, part Meathead, part Fetzer, with a dash of the Funky Jesus' own tinkering. 8)

Working on a sound clip shortly. It's got great sustain and compression. Sounds like a cross between a tight fuzz and a heavy drive. Articulate with complex chords as well. Buttloads of output volume as well, so the circuit has room to grow with a tone stack, etc.

The enclosure I got in a trade on the BYOC forum. The pot holes were badly misdrilled, so I decided to decorate. Took a leftover piece of copper clad, drilled it out for 6-32 hardware and did up with some brass thumbscrews. Covers up the bad work and looks pretty cool, too.

Stamped it up and went with a big-ass old knob. No idea where it came from, but it's a solo, and this seemed like the right project. Yellow 3mm LED, of course.






Here's a shot of the populated board again. The rest of the guts is boring; same old crap.

Chris is good people, he makes me PCBs sometimes, buy his things!

Are these boards available for other peeps?

Jero wrote:Are these boards available for other peeps?

At the moment, no. But that's sort of the plan going forward. I'm sending the other board I have to another fellow circuit whore to build and try out a few things.

It's a tad noisy, which isn't surprising given the crazy gain, so perhaps a little extra noise filtering would be a good addition. I could also see people wanting a fuzz/gain control, but I sort of like the simplicity of it as is, and also it responds quite will to guitar controls (at least with humbuckers). It would also be trivial to add a gain control to the existing layout in at least two places.

Here's the schematic if anyone is interested:

Scruffie is good people too - I even have one of his Big Bad Stones!
Cheers my friend!

Really looking forward to hearing this one.

Hi all,
This one is the orange Ibanez overdrive with the script logo and round switch without the buffers. A few of these will be available soon at joespedals.com. Hope you like it.




Here is a pic of two boosters that just went to Mudhoney
