Title: Metaler than thou!
Post by: sonarchotic on October 19, 2013, 12:17:20 AM
This is a pedal I built for a trade. The guy wanted a metal muff type distortion and a phase 90 together so this is Tagboard's layout for Wampler's Triple Wreck and Sabro's layout for the Phase 90. I eliminated the script/block switch on the MXR because it didn't seem to make much difference. This was my first go at vero besides a Jawari to learn the ropes. The Triple Wreck is a beast and probably not something I would have built for myself but now that I have I hate to give it up. The pics aren't that great and don't do the finish justice. Oh well, at least I got to break out my metal thesaurus for the knob labelling  ;D

One of the best "glowing eyes" builds I've ever seen. Outstanding work! Beast like that deserves some metal knobs  8)

Close, it was for a salsa/jazz/Adult Contemporary/country gospel/Bee Gee's cover band. Very niche audience.
Thanks for the kind words and devil horns guys!

Thanks, I'm trading it for a Korg Micro Synth. It looks like a fun toy and I am looking forward to messing around with it but the chance to build for someone else and their tastes was part of the motivation for me too.

I sure can see what you mean. Hope the Korg is working out for you!
