Title: Kokobender
Post by: angrykoko on May 26, 2013, 03:00:18 AM
Here is my latest build.
Tonebender MK II on a GGG board I etched and some OC75's from smallbear.
The knobs I got from a PIF this last year and they were just calling me do something dystopian.
The image is from the QOTSA new video, just stuck in my head.  The artist is "boneface", he's got some really cool and twisted imagery.

Great sounding pedal, still fiddling with the bias to see where I like it the best.

The artwork reminds me of the Hellraiser comic books (not the movies.)

Is it worth putting the bias in on these Tonebenders? I omitted mine, might have to rework it in.

Thanks !
Yeah it is  ;D  That's why I picked it, it's wrong on many levels.   Thanks to "boneface" and QOTSA for that one (and the pain pills I was taking for strep and tonsillitis last week).

The "knobbies" came from Culturejam's PIF I won, they are cool.

I'm loving this pedal so much every day:  zeppelin, black keys and for fun-zies gave it a whirl with drop C standard tuning.  I'm just blown away with this one.

This is my first tonebender but I'd imagine yeah the trimpot is worth it, I fiddled with it for about a day till I got it where I'm happy.  I also used the recommended Q2 resistor I got from smallbear with the OC75's.

I need to check out the Hellraiser comic books.  I didnt know they existed.

Fair warning, some of them will give you serious trouble getting to sleep.
