Title: Runt Egghead Egghead
Post by: seedlings on October 30, 2014, 01:57:36 PM
Runt feeding an Egghead feeding a (modified, always on) Egghead.  Great tones stacked together in one box.

WOW. At first glance at your gut shot my initial thought was 'he forgot the in/out jacks!' haha! That is insanely tidy on the inside. And I'm digging the graphics a lot too. The colors work great against the enclosure.

That's exactly what I thought!

This looks awesome! Can you do a sound demo?

Thx.  Yep, I'll get a demo up in the next couple of days.  Do you prefer single coils or humbuckers?

I really like the playing card graphics.  I downloaded a bunch of card designs a couple of years ago, still looking for an opportunity to use them.

I scanned my playing cards into the computer and used ... wait for it ... ms paint to do the graphic...

Guitar is a Fender Marauder, and the video starts on the Jazzmaster neck pickup.  Later switch to bridge pickup, which is a Humbucker from Hell.

The amp is set very clean, a DIY KT66 push-pull amp with 12AX7 pre and 12AU7 PI (designed that way), and ALL drive is from the pedal.

One Egghead circuit is always on (red led) - last in pedal order.  It's modified with 2 2n4148 diodes one direction, and 1 2n4148 plus two 1n60p the other direction.  The voltage divider is 8k2//10k (like the Timmy).

The left footswitch engages a second Egghead circuit (green led) that is basically stock.  This circuit is second in pedal order.

The right footswitch (red led) is the Runt, and it is first in the pedal order.

Recorded with an android phone for nigh fidelity  :o
