Evel Genius II

The Evel Genius now has an evil twin!

When I finished the first Evel Genius, I showed it to a buddy who immediately commissioned me to build one for him. So, here it is. Not much difference between this and the first one. Different DC jack and I moved the stomp down a little since I knew he wouldn't be using a battery with it.

This one fought me a little bit. I had a resin waterfall going down the side for a while, but I was able to babysit it until in firmed up and that edge came out perfect. Then the stomp gave me grief. There was some kind of oxidation or crud on the contacts making it impossible to get the solder to whet without overheating the lugs. I foolishly pressed on and wound up with a non-functioning switch. Thankfully, I was able to replace it with zero trauma to the wiring. The melted insulation in the pic is testament to how much heat I dumped into this thing. The switch in the pic is actually the bad one. The wiring with the new switch looks identical and the insulation didn't even suffer any further distress.

Enjoy.

Yeah, that's some killer attention to detail -- looks really good.

The drop shadow on the "1" works really well. Is that in the graphic?

Red white and blue wiring makes it to me.  Too bad it doesn't have a glass bottom for viewing:)

Yep. It's in the graphic.

I really rarely see a pedal and think about buying one because I can always make something similar or a clone, but this hits my "Buy Buy BUY!!!" button pretty hard.  Maybe because Evel was a starring character in my youthful imagination alongside Andre the Giant, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Charles Bronson...  Anyhow, these pedals are really nice all around!

By far my favorite wiring job in any pedal I've seen.
