Metaler than thou!

This is a pedal I built for a trade. The guy wanted a metal muff type distortion and a phase 90 together so this is Tagboard's layout for Wampler's Triple Wreck and Sabro's layout for the Phase 90. I eliminated the script/block switch on the MXR because it didn't seem to make much difference. This was my first go at vero besides a Jawari to learn the ropes. The Triple Wreck is a beast and probably not something I would have built for myself but now that I have I hate to give it up. The pics aren't that great and don't do the finish justice. Oh well, at least I got to break out my metal thesaurus for the knob labelling  ;D

Stellar build!!! I see three circuits? Is that a boost in the middle?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Thanks Jimilee! The Triple Wreck has a main distortion circuit and a seperate boost circuit as well.

That is a killer evil looking build.  Love that box.  Congrats man.

One of the best "glowing eyes" builds I've ever seen. Outstanding work! Beast like that deserves some metal knobs  8)

Close, it was for a salsa/jazz/Adult Contemporary/country gospel/Bee Gee's cover band. Very niche audience.
Thanks for the kind words and devil horns guys!

Thanks, I'm trading it for a Korg Micro Synth. It looks like a fun toy and I am looking forward to messing around with it but the chance to build for someone else and their tastes was part of the motivation for me too.

I sure can see what you mean. Hope the Korg is working out for you!
