I have been working so much I didn't even know it was Friday.. Alright here we are in the home stretch, I think there is only 4 more left in the VFE builds. Without further ado the bumblebee!




This was a really challenging build, getting it dialed in and sounding good was pretty hard. Then once I realized you play to this pedal it made it a little bit easier. You have to be really aggressive with your muting and picking to take full advantage of the swell effect. It sounds really good once I got it and then you add in some delay and overdrive it is the bee knees...... Like what I did there?

I have been loving doing black and white paintings and this one really came together fast and looks nice and neat. Someone might say not painting a transformer on here was a missed opportunity....

I dig it Dan, and I think this looks better than a transformer, decepticons are way cooler anyways
Who the hell is Bucky?

Nice! I had to find just the right jfet for mine. Brian helped me out, good ones are getting harder to find. I think it's a great compressor too. I liked it so much, I bought an original VFE to add to my collection.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I agree with you! It is a great compressor and it is featured for a brief part in next weeks video.
