Title: Egg Head with Clipping Switch
Post by: Flaconsius on December 16, 2013, 04:31:49 PM
This Project has some few months, but I´ve been very bussy.
A simple and very good Overdrive wich I´ve replaced the Clipping Diodes with a pair of cables that goes to a 2P6T Rotary switch and, from there, to another board where I put different diodes Combinations.
The little Toggle switch changes the In and Out Caps, adding Bassier frecuencies, making it useful with Baritone or 7 (and more) Stringed guitars.

The Rotary Switch with the Clipping Diodes Board:

Tryin´ to Fit it all inside the Box:

And, the finished Stompbox:

A few weeks ago, I gived it to a very good Guitarist who has his own musical projects and works as a sessionis in many reconrding. He is Ernesto Snajer, for the ones who would want to search him in youtube or google.
He really liked the pedal and that made me so happy and proud that I still can´t believe it. ;D ;D

That is a really cool build dude! I really like the finish, and the mods you did to make it work for you in a lot of different situations. Nice work!

Thanks a lot for the great feedback, friends.
If someone needs more data about the Clipping diodes or anything else just tell me and I´ll see what I can do.
Best Regards.
