Title: Black Cat and a small big box Tone Bender
Post by: cooder on March 09, 2015, 04:27:52 AM

Let's build another dirtbox, and to make it count let's put two circuits in to save space or so and for the fun of it....
So here's another 2in1 125B, this time with a Black Cat OD-1 on top (controls are Vol and Gain), the toggle selects between this circuit or in down position the big box ToneBender built to Juansolo's specs that he recently uncovered in an old unit.
Made me curious and yes it sound great!
I added another pot that is the input resistor the can be dialed from 100K to 0 ohm (I jumpered R1 on this to have the full range). On Juansolos tracing it was 39 K, on 1776 Suckerpunch it's listed as 33 K. This makes it adjustable and on full bore and high fuzz settings it starts to get a bit crazy in a good way.
I like things to be tweakable, so good for me!

TH Custom Ueberswitch relay board. Dig those!

In case if anyone wants a spare board I have one left each, shipped for $ 10 each anywhere on the planet.

This is Aweee Someee. I would have great difficulty fitting one of those circuits in the enclosure. And I love the variable resistor mod. Great stuff Cooder.

Yikes! Thats a lot of knobs for a 125B!

Excellent work and the finish is awesome.

Thanks guys!
Also pleased because this was a previously mis-drilled enclosure that has been sitting around for ages.
This just worked out after a bit of re-drilling.
The Two circuits complement each other reasonanbly well I think, the Black Cat OD-1 overdrive and distortion with a bit of fuzzy flavour, quite nice for such a simple circuit, and then the Jumbo TB goes of course the whole hog further into Fuzz.

Amazing stuff!
Really useful and creative PCB arrangement in there.

So, can you stack them, or is it an either-or type setup?
Looks awesome! Love the swirl stuff.

It's either/or setup.

That swirl came out nicely, like the Red Spot on Jupiter meets Tim Burton.
