On wood, with big caps for bass! Check it:
Tweet this! Here’s a cool little pedal which is really very simple but sounds fantastic:

Tweet this! So far it’s been hit and miss getting the clear coat to take well in the sub freezing temps, but here we are trying again. We are expecting snow, so I am putting them inside a cool – I’ll give it 24 hours or so and see how they turn out!

Tweet this! Here’s a fuzz face using 2N404A transistors that I’ve built up for a customer in an old Fuzz Face enclosure – very cool, and sounds great!!
Tweet this! Here’s a kit build I did. These BYOC kits are fantastic – well organized and real solid quality components and design. Definitely recommended: http://www.buildyourownclone.com. This is a phaser. It came painted since I purchased it from a fellow who was going to build it up himself but only got as far as painting.I built it up stock rather than going for script mods or anything else. It sounds great – I A/B’d it with a Phase 90 I had nearby and it blew it away.
Tweet this! I’m really liking this new dirty booster, The Nik. I had the first two builds chained together and realized that they sounded great that way so I built up a couple of these with two Nik boosters. One of them, the first one I built, uses both boosters at all times, with a separate control for the drive level. The second one I built up uses each booster independently – like having the two pedals side by side, they are each operable independently. Both great pedals!
Tweet this! Here’s another Nik Booster that I built up – I substituted some values to brighten it up a bit and this pedal sounds fantastic! Schematic and other details coming very soon!
Tweet this! Here’s a booster that will send your tube amp into OD territory, The Nik! This is a germanium booster using a single 104NU71 transistor, and it sounds great! There is plenty of gain to go around, and on a solid-state amp it stays cleaner but on a tube amp you get saturation and overdrive even at low levels! This build has a clipping diode switch which gives a smoother, more ‘distortion’ like sound at high-ends, but at low ends it doesn’t help much. I will not likely include it on future builds.
