January Builds

[dan.schumaker]

I haven't posted any builds in the last few months, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy finishing up some new things.  I have started posting most of them on instagram as well (along with some super mediocre playing clips ).  Here are some of my favorites the last month or so...

Aion Flare (Flair)


The Depths


Calhoun (Silvertone Twin Twelve & Germanium Tone Bender)


Disaster Transport Sr (Madbean Zero Point Mini, Zero Point DD, Vero Reverb & Diablochris Signal Router)


Hoof Reaper


Sunlion Jr (Madbean Rangemaster &  Silicon Tonebender)


Nom Nom (Thanks thesmokingman)

Crikey you've been busy!

Any details on the Calhoun? A friend asked about doing a Jack White in a box style pedal recently, i was planning on putting a muff and a micro amp in, the twin twelve would finish it off nicely!

[dan.schumaker]

The Calhoun is just like the Mike Campbell one.  I like the Twin Twelve.  Its similar to the Superbolt, but I find it a little more "loose" garage-band-y and the Superbolt to be a little more "tight" and focused if that makes sense.

But for a Jack White in a box, I think with the twin twelve, you would have all the major boxes checked off

Wow, that's about a year's worth of my output!  And they all look great!

I've had a look in all the obvious places but can't find a schem or a layout, do you remember where you got it from?
I suppose a good place to start is a Supreaux and a charge pump

Awesome work

Do you have a link for the diablochris signal router?

[matmosphere]

Woah! Bob's right that's a years worth of stuff for me. You are a machine.

[Willybomb]

Good work there.  What's the reverb you put in the disaster transport?

[Tremster]

Awesome!
How does The Depths compare to traditional Vibes?

[verr76]

are those waterslide on a bare box ? looks realy good.

[JackSkellington]

Good job, buddy!
Can you give us further information about two of these pedals?
I'd like to know what combination of LDR/LED you used in The Depth pedal.
And what boards includes the Hoof Reaper pedal.

Thanks!

[Boba7]

Wow, very impressive builds!

Love the Depths especially, have been thinking about building it for some time now...

How do you like the crazy 8 knobs fuzz factory? Aion pcbs are so excellent.

Amazing job!

[bluescage]

That's a lot of builds in one month!

Here is a link to the group buy and documentation for the signal router:

The reverb is just a Rub-A-Dub on vero.

Awesome!

I like it, but 100% transparent, I have never successfully built a Harbinger or other vibe, so I might be a little biased.  But for a LDR-based vibe that fits in a 125B, I am very happy with it.

are those waterslide on a bare box ? looks realy good.

I use clear clear label paper on bare boxes for all my builds, with a few sprays of clear coat on top of that.  I've been using that method for the last 2-3 years and it has worked great.  Here is a link to the sticker paper I use:

I used GL5549 LDR's and a diffused yellow LED for the Depths.  Tried it initially with a clear white one, but that gave me a ton of distortion to the circuit.
The Hoof Reaper has a Hoof fuzz, Tone Reaper and Green Ringer Octave in it.

There is a lot to like about the Fuzz Factory.  It is a totally crazy pedal.  This is the first fuzz factory that I have built, so I like it.  And like everything Kevin makes at Aion, it is a totally top-notch pedal
