Nuke the Moon EXP and Harmonic Fuzz

[Stomptown]

Hey all! Hope everyone had a great holiday season. I'm still recovering from a moonshine incident on New Years Eve!  Ugh... Anyway, here are a couple of recent builds I thought I would share. Hope you like em!

Nuke the Moon EXP (STM optical tremolo in an expression enclosure):

Both are just beautiful.  Love the shoot the moon build.

Really, really great builds. What does the expression pedal control (if anything)?

[jkokura]

I prefer my Trems in a 125B, but I would be super proud to have one of yours on my pedalboard.

Thanks guys!

The expression pedal controls the speed of the tremolo. I built it for a friend who really wanted a trem he could control on the fly.

Shoulda put a clear bottom on that nuke the moon, so everyone can always see how cool it is in there

I really like what you did on that trem. Years ago I read about Jesus and Mary Chain putting some Boss PN-2 guts in a wah enclosure for this exact purpose. This is the first time I've seen someone actually do it!

So what specs did you do for this particular Percolator? I threw the "stock" one I did with your board on my test box again this weekend and it is just a killer. The diode lift mode really bears exploring with these specs. I could basically get it to sound like my Albini version! The silicon side gives way more bite than I thought the circuit was capable of--really cool on a neck pickup (although I'd like to try some OA126 in this position). And the 1n273/1n695 combination is a keeper on the GE side.

Have you made a drill template for this, by the way? I'm sure I could work one up but though I would check.
