Post photos of your pedal in a Mammoth Enclosure! Tell us what it does, how it sounds, and your process for making it look great!

(Feel free to show off your pedals where you used Mammoth Knobs and other components, too!)

Dang, StupidDream88!!

Those things are beautiful. Thanks for posting them! What do they do?

Tuxedo G2(s). I've built about 2 dozen of these over the last couple of months for customers. Mostly Mammoth Parts including the Black Textured enclosures, White Knobs and various Resistors, Caps, Sockets, Transistors, Jacks, Switch, etc. I feel very comfortable sending out pedals that are mostly Mammoth Parts.

Mammoth is my "Go To" place for stuff now. Esssentially a one-stop-shop for DIY pedal building. Blake even worked with me when I had a bad batch of enclosures. Not "Bad", but just not up to their usual outstanding quality (Hey it happens) and I was probably being spoiled and picky. He personally made sure that the QA on my next batch and everybody's batches were exceptional.

These were built on R2G2 boards from the guy (Barry a/ka/ My7of9 - owner of www.guitarpcb.com - Check it out) who hand-etches the boards for Mammoth's pedal kits.

They are essentialy workalikes of the C*rnish G2. The 4-Knobber replaces the simple Tone Control of the G2 with a more Big Muff type ToneStack with a Mid Control.







Guts of the 4-Knobber using the GBOF board for the Big Muff w/ Mid Tone Control (all the info on how to do this is over at http://www.guitarpcb.com under the build docs for the R2G2):





Hate to sound like a commercial, but Mammoth is cool stuff sold by cool people.

the round knobs and the enclosure are from mammoth. if you want to start selling these chicken heads with the white stripe, that would be cool. I use them for rotary switches

@DCOUNTRY13 : I've always wanted to hook up one of those R2G2s. Everytime I see one go out of our shop I get more and more curious about them. Love the tuxedo look. Those white DC jacks from Barry look sweet. Very tasty. One of these days I'll have to get my hands on something like that.

@eatyourguitar : That pedal seems really versatile! I like the idea of a boost+loop pedal a lot. What kinds of applications do you use it for personally?

Also, just as a plug : EVERYONE should check out Barry's site :

Amazing PCBs. Even more amazing forum, support, community, everything. We love hosting their PCBs in our kits section, which is found here :

Its for boosting a fuzz pedal mostly. I might do another one with a transformer to get the impedance right. The load is just putting a 10k before the fuzz. Works like a presence control but it also depends on the input impedance of the fuzz and the input cap. The transistor is socketed. Right now im using the 2N5133 hfe 70 for a subtle low gain thing. The loop switch actually turns on/off the boost and fuzz together. It has switched jacks for when nothing is in the loop.

Dang. That's really cool. I especially like how the loop switch will control the boost and fuzz at the same time. That's really clever.

cause thats how people use them. tap dance problem solved

Roight, roight. It's just cool cuz I've seen a lot of loopers in less practical applications, ya know?

The following is the GuitarPCB.com "Super Drive 70's." It is available as a kit from Mammoth Electronics, which is where I sourced many of the parts for this build, including knobs, enclosure, and many of the electronic components.

This is the enclosure with vinyl inkjet label and Envirotex Lite epoxy clear coat finish:


Finished Pedal Pictures:




It looks almost as good as it sounds!

GuitarPCB.com makes a great post-gain boost circuit called the Stage 3 Booster, which is available as a Mammoth kit. This build was made completely from Mammoth Parts except for the label material and the 2-tone LED.




Gut Shot:

Once again, Bruce.....Those finishes are topnotch. Doing great justice to the builds.
