Yet another pedal that puts my own graphical skills to shame. A Kingslayer that has been tweaked with a little. Uses my favorite two diode combos of BAT85/1N695 and two OA126's. Great sounding pedal. Love the clipping options. I haven't settled on a pair of soft clippers yet. Whenever people look at my boards they are always like "well I can believe you made all these other pedals but you made THIS one too" :D Thanks a ton Keefe, this thing looks absolutely great.

Yeah, that thing looks stellar
That's such a great graphic.
What did you settle on for the filtering caps? (And is that a ceramic cap in the soft clippers?)
haha wow this is awesome! Hab needs to teach us mere mortals how to do an etch so beautiful!
Great work inside too man! Bet it sounds great!
-K
Really pretty etch. Keefe's etching is awe inspiring.
That is purdy! Great job
My Kingslayer is sounding good but I need to grab some different diodes and LEDs to tweak it to taste.
One thing the Kingslayer did was kick my Badmonkey and MXR oD pedal off the board!
;D
Hey awesome, Paul! Glad the parts finally came in so you could finish. I hope you like your kingslayer as much as i like mine. I don't even use my sunking anymore.
Thanks for all the nice words everybody. :)
Too pretty for knobs. I'd have to put 'em on the side.
Awesome build!

Its been a few months since this one went together. I am pretty sure it is 99% back to the normal specs. I think I changed the 470pf back to 820pf. Maybe a few other things here and there. I've settled on 1n914's as the soft clippers, everything else sounds too dark to me in there. Yeah that is a 390pf cap over the soft clippers, smooths out the high end a bit.
Thanks everyone! Yeah this one is about to bump off the old Sunking to the shelf. Sounds so darn awesome!
The Haberdasher treatment does tend to elevate a pedal, doesn't it? :) Not that I have one of Keefe's faceplates, but if I remember how stunning the copper side of my Cosmo board looked, I would certainly like to!
So are the OA126s in the hard clip section? Would love a demo as always!

It certainly does!
Yeah the OA126's are in the hard clip section. I may bust out a demo in the next few days comparing this to the Sunking although they sound very similar.
I have a sleeve of telefunken OA128's, any body familiar with those? Do the 126's have a much higher forward voltage than the Germanium 1N270's that the project calls for?Cause my OA128's have a higher fv than 1N4148's.

I am not familiar with the OA128's. The OA126's I have show about 0.65 Vf on the meter. They are about equivalent to a lot of the Si diodes I have seen. They sound great! Put those things in and tell us how they sound. ;D
I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT
so good bro
Holy Moly!
Its a beauty mate!
Thanks everyone!
Here is a demo comparing my old Sunking to this Kingslayer.
This actually sounds more awesome than it should because I am pushing it through a slightly dirty 5F2A Princeton but you guys get the basic idea. The Sunking has OA126 diodes in parallel and the feedback resistor is tweaked for a lot more gain. The KS also has the feedback network tweaked to allow for the same gain configuration. The soft clippers in the KS are 1n4148 and I love them! They add a little extra spank to everything. This is played with my Gilmourized strat with CS69 pickups and my Franken-Princeton with the volume about halfway up. Close mic-ed with a Blue snowball. Enjoy!

I can't see the demo for some reason :'(

It should be an embedded soundcloud app. Try this link to the actual SC page and see if that works.

Got it! Thanks for the demo and great playing!
Sounds awesome Paul! You sound great!

Thanks guys! I think these are some of the best sounding tones I have recorded in my bedroom. I am loving this Princeton clone (and the Kingslayer of course) :)
