NPD - Turnipfarm FX Custom Fender Blender and EA Tremolo
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2015 12:47 am
Figured some here would like to see this.
I was considering a Janus but I wanted a more old school design as well as a different kind of fuzz. I missed that Fender blender that I had, but I also really wanted a 60s trem.
So I discussed this idea of a custom 2 in 1 trem>fuzz with Nick at Turnipfarm FX a few months back.
This was my first custom pedal and I had a good idea about what i wanted. Design and all. He was more than awesome enough to make this dream come true.
We put together a load of ideas before it finally came to fruition after 60+ emails and to say the least, this pedal is awesome. Truly fucking killer awesome.
It's really great but once I order the right pot to get the exp setup going i'll really be flyin and swimming in fuzzy sexy soundz.
Nick is a super patient and diligent dude and he really is cool with building you exactly what you want.
I had an idea and he made it happen.
Trem Features-
Always-on LED that blinks with the rate as well as an ON/OFF LED
Expression-in for the rate on the trem
A "squarer" mode which hits a bit harder
Blender fuzz features-
Original 1976 circuit (not reissue)
Mini toggle for the Tone Boost mode
2 color, single LED for each mode
The middle foot switch is an all-off momentary kill switch.
Cracky aged finish
It originally started with the trem knobs in a basic triangle knob configuration which meant that it need to be in a larger box, but at my request he was able to vertical the knobs to squeeze it into a box that was a step smaller!
So yeah, we finally zeroed in on this beast. I really dig the thick tones of the Blender. This one is from a schem of the original circuit but I might have plans to mod it to reissue specs.
I also really dig the smoothness of the EA Trem.
If you can't tell, i'm incredibly satisfied with this pedal.
So here it is.
Awesome.
