Krankosaurus sample - My 1st demo

[Neeno]

Hi guys, I just finished (not really) building a krankosaurus (thank you Brian) and since I had the pcb still lying on the desk (did the input cap mod from 100n -> 22n as suggested by Pauloman80... thank you!) I wanted to make a small sample.

The recording chain is a bit unusual, I know, so take this as a grain of salt.
Guitar -> krankosaurus -> t.c.electronic konnekt 8 DI input -> Overloud TH2 (blackface '65 amp and cab set clean with just a bit of break-up, mic'ed with a SM57, you'll able to hear the clean tone at the beginning)

Guitars had really minor eq and a tiny bit of compression to sound "in context" with the drums.

Before the mod the pedal sounded a bit too bassy and muddy, the 22n cap on the input cleans up the low end. Feel free to experiment with different values 33,47n,...

Sounds fantastic. +1 for the build queue.
The playing was outstanding, too. Is that your riff?

Nicely done man. I'm glad I ordered parts for this one. Thanks for linking the thread on the mods, should be helpful.

Thank you guys, thank you so much for the kind words.
I'm loving this pedal too, even if I have to admit that with the stock cap value it sounded less interesting to me, but now it sounds more "balanced" less muddy and less fuzzy, especially in the low registers.

jubal81, thank you.
Yes, the riff came up while playing with the pedal after the mod, so I decided to record it... and make the demo.

Just went back and listened to it again. I used to love the heavy blues rock aka (stoner rock); bands like Orange Goblin, Mystic Krewe, Fu Manchu, Kyuss, Nebula, etc. I haven't listened to or played that type stuff in years, but your riff there is gonna make me dig out some old albums 
I love it when a new piece of gear instantly inspires you to be creative.
