EQD Life pedal-S.W.O.R.D.

[Thewintersoldier]

This thing is massive sounding! Take a Rat,  give it multiple clipping options, then add a switchable octave and tack on a clean boost. Whatever tweaks were made to the main circuit make it sound very in your face and the octave is mixed in perfect. It just oozes vintage vibes and can't be mixed in to be present and up front or chill more in the background. The boost is a clean boost to simply give more volume or push the front end of an amp. This is not just a stoner/doom/drone metal pedal but is versatile enough for any type of rock music. This is getting velcro now.
    The original pedal had crosses on each side just like I laid out on mine so I pulled inspiration from the Sword logo. The center sword logo was used from the run of comics were the x-men were in space.  No film waterslide decal on tayda grey powder coated enclosure. All white wiring to keep it classy. Shout-out to Drew Hallenbeck for the lm308 helping make this project possible.

This. I know you said it's a cold winter  in Detroit, but damn. You're pushing out like 2 or 3 a week, and they look sharp.

Man, that looks awesome!  I might have to break the glass on my emergency 308 and try one these out. Is the boost after the Rat?

It is, this thing sounds stellar on bass too

Damn, that thing looks amazing! You've really been killing it lately! I really need to get around to building one of these. I sold my Rat clone to a buddy for him to use on bass and while I've been having fun with my fuzz pedals, I still kinda miss it.

Looks good Chris!
Have you tried swapping out the opamp with the Motorola metal-can one I sent to see if there's any noticeable difference?
Like I said, I never got around to testing the DIP8 chips to see if they were genuine.
Either way, it is an absolute monster. I'm definitely thinking of building another one to keep for myself!

I tested them both Drew and both sounded good. So anymore Dip8 308s in your stash should be good assuming they are in the same lot.

Thanks, if you build it, you wont be disappointed.
