Title: Sabretooth Build
Post by: raulduke on June 23, 2011, 02:22:29 PM
This is a Woolly Mammoth build I have done for someone.

He chose the name, not me  ;)

Sounds brilliant on bass.

It also sounds good on guitar, but only if all you want to play is that riff from the James Bond song that Jack White and Alicia Keys did!

Pretty pleased with the wiring on this one. I bought a D*A*M Meathead so I am trying to match the neatness of their wiring!

Nice job! I like how you decorated the outside of it. That's a pretty fitting name for this pedal. It is looking very neat inside also.
I just finished mine too and I like it for guitar. Haven't tried it on bass yet but I'm more into the super fat fuzz sound than I thought I would be. Almost makes my Strat sound like a Les Paul. And the pinch knob is totally wild!!!

nice build. i love this circuit, it's my favorite bass distortion.

how'd you do the lettering? brush? i found these neat little paint pens for car touch-ups at the hardware store which i found to be great for little lettering like that, worth checking out if you do a lot of pedals with this style of painting.

Yeah mate I use a brush and enamel paint.

I haven't really bothered trying to use pens or decals etc as I quite enjoy painting by (shaky) hand! Call me a sadist ha ha  :D

This is a great looking build. I love the hand painted look. (except when zvex does it).  Just kidding.  I'm gonna build another one of these soon.  I may steal your layout. 8)

Looking sharp! I just finished building 2 of these for other ppl. I used the same layout with knobs/layout and LEDs. I only have my bass and the bassist in my band's basses sitting around, both of which are active. Which is apparently a problem for this pedal. So for the time being, at least, I like it better with guitar.
