Martin of MJW Amplification's second multi. It only dawned on me when I'd nearly finished building this that this is actually a Hashishian Mk2. Different phaser and fuzz, but the same collection of effects with the same goals. If anything they work better than the original did.

Under the skin there's a '76 Jumbo Tonebender fuzz on a 1776 Effects PCB, into a Madbean Zero Point Double Delay (this and the reverb were Martins old single pedals), then to a MXR Script Phase 90 clone built on a Fuzzdog PCB, finally throuh a 1776 Rub-a-Dub Reverb.

It's a little untidy under the skin as I was purposely running signal lines away from the effects to minimise any noise.

Lol messy.

Great looking build!

I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

Where did you source that ribbon wire in that rat's nest? Haha

I continue to love your multi's.

I'd also love to know the details of the ribbon cable you used :D.

+1.  I would use the hell out of this if I had it.

Sadly it's some ancient (and awesome) NOS stuff we got our hands on. I think we've got about a reel and a half left, but after that we'll have to seek an alternative also :(

The closest stuff I've found to it is insanely expensive :(

A pic of it in-situ on Martin's board.

Gah, your multis kill me.  I really want to do a multi for my acoustic rig, but I just haven't gotten to it and I certainly wouldn't do it justice like you guys.

It's all in the planning. I spend a tonne of time in photoshop working out where things need to be and how it's all going to go together. That way the actual assembly is quite easy and very satisfying.

Stellar work, as always. I can't get those black knobs to look good on anything I build, but you make them work phenomenal! Great artwork too.

Amazing, as always. Don't recall seeing an opto toggle before. Cool idea

So help me God, I saw too much anime and internet at an impressionable age.

Juan, good stuff! If I ever get  my Cold Dark Sun back from the guy I loaned it to...
