We've actually made 4 pedals, but one is a present so no pics of that one until after xmas
We have here a Yorkshire Cascadia, Jason's (Jubal) awesome distortion. This time squeezed into a 1590BB. Next the Yorkshire Pasty, we looked and we actually made the PCB for this 10 months ago... It's taken a while to stick this in a box for some reason. It's kinda an Colorsound Overdriver/Powerboost with a Cornish-ish buffer on the front so it plays nice with other things. I'd totally forgotten how good this sounds!
Last but not least is Tom's mini-multi. Tighter than expected, it's got an Enchanter (Timmy-ish) and a Guvnor clone (Fuzzdog PCB).

The Cascadia is particularly handsome. The graphic looks like it could have come off a vote of small-batch whiskey.

really great as usual. the washers on teh cascadia footswitch caught my eye, wierdly. Different type of footswitches?
Nuts are from some Ampeg switches that we had to bin when we replaced them. Just happened to fit perfectly on the usual Alpha stomp.
great builds. I have the pasty half populated from last years boty. time to finish that up!
No idea why it took us so long to put it in a box. But after 10 months sat on the shelf and trying it now, I was genuinely surprised how good it sounds.
Everything is awesome as usual! One question--what do you like for transistors in the CSOD circuit? I've had one populated for quite a while now, so I figure why not prolong it a bit longer to ask someone who's actually built a few of these.
We built it so long ago I can't remember. I'll PM Cleggy (pedal is over at his) and find out. Looks to be a pair of BC109 and something else...
EDIT: "Theres a pair of bc109Cs followed by a 2n5088 in Q4, dont know why, but it has had a BC109C before as the spare pad has solder in it. We've always used 3 BC109Cs on a straight CSOD"
Thanks! I will give those a try. May try bc549c for comparison's sake while I'm at it.
Love the look of that Cascadia. Jason's artwork really does have that craft microbrew feel to it!
Interestingly enough, I was looking at el-component the other day and saw that the BC549C is supposed to be the low-noise version of the BC109C.
I believe you are correct! Haberdasher mentioned that to me a while back as well. At any rate, that's why I'm thinking of giving them a try in the CSOD circuit.
