Title: Rite of Passage Green Bean Build - KTOM Valve Howler
Post by: Rip57 on June 28, 2013, 01:43:50 AM
My Green Bean build, the KTOM Valve Howler. I took the idea of dip-switching the Fat and Bright mods from another forum member, whose post I can't find right now - but thanks bud, you saved me some real estate up front! I used 1N914's for both symmetrical and asymmetric diodes. It sounds "OK" on my solid state amp but I really need to fix the Marshall tube amp to find out what I've got.

Actually I made two of these. One for myself and one for KTOM's namesake, my nephew Keith Thomas. I gave him one a couple of weeks back and he digs it!

I may have also gotten him interested in pedal building - we'll see.

What a gorgeous build.  I like the color (I used the same box to do a Honey Bee...I know that doesn't make sense, I just like the color).  I like the simple graphics and clean straight lines.  Very pro looking.

Looks like we all missed it... I think it looks really good,love the little dip switch, nice colour, graphics and build its all there

Any chance of hearing a demo?? I ask as I am in the middle of turning my Green Bean board into a Clay Jones OD.

Great Build 8)

Glad you like it, guys. I'm still learning here and it's encouraging to hear from you seasoned veterans.

But you know, I'm even happier that my nephew likes it. He's a good kid and guitar is his thing. He digs the fact that he's got a pedal named after him!
