Title: Shock Hazard
Post by: Meowy on September 26, 2011, 01:31:15 PM
This is a pedal design I have been working on from time-to-time. It is a positive-ground MOSFET full boost. It's fairly transparent and adds no color to your tone but when dimed it will add some grit to an amp on the verge of breakup. If and when I start producing these I may just go with an unfinished enclosure with the same graphics.

Oh, and thanks again to Brian for the PCB fabrication!

Dude, I really like the theme! An orange enclosure or more neon yellow would probably be too convincing. I like the idea of a bare enclosure. You should post a demo!  How does this stack up against an SHO?

Thanks Cobb. It's loosely based off a SHO (in fact I asked Brian to use the SlamBox as the baseline for the PCB). It also borrows from the CNOK, with a few tweaked components. One of the more unique characteristics (and why there is no 9V jack) is it is positive ground -- and dead quiet

Nice build..that is quite a shocking color... :o
I'd be interested in hearing a demo of it too. Seems like a cool idea!

Thanks. Here's another I just built on stripboard instead of PCB.
