Greenies: Lucky 13, 808 + Cludge of the Month

[G.G.]

Continuing with 2021's theme of Poorly Planned/Poorly Executed Builds, here's my Lucky 13 and 808. The 13 is a Basic Audio Lucky Number that is now on my board because it sounds excellent and responds surprisingly well to picking dynamics. Tried to disguise the offboard spaghetti with zip ties.



The 808 is two TS variants, a Hudson Sidecar and Nucleon's Son Of Screamer that includes a focus control like a Zen Drive. Also features the Cludge of the Month: 2 chunks of hot melt glue stick to keep the Sidecar board away from the cable tip. I used a generic OC44-type PNP from a failed attempt at a Rangemaster for the Sidecar which is held in place with a comfy piece of foam. Currently on my board as well, they sound great! And, clear knobs are currently trending in Austin, TX!

I like the color. Very nice. Gotta say its the first time I've seen a squid in a build.

Those look great. You got a lot of wire going on in there.

It is a lot of wire, I need to stop cutting extra just in case and start planning it out better. Next time. . . . .

In my case it would have been the first time I'd used hot glue and not had the associated spider webs.
