They are.

He's got three more of these listed right now in case anyone is still interested.
Just search blackout effectors on eBay and you'll find em!

Gordo:

Thank you so much for the gutshot & other pics!!!  Still waiting on some parts, but that is a massive help!

Just finished mine up. I tried to keep the look close to the original.

I really dig the pedal and feel you can do a lot with it. I agree with what was said on the Aion website about his version. He omitted the fix position because...while he said the idea sounds good in theory, it just doesnt really do much. I tend to agree. Maybe I just didnt find a sweet spot?

Other than that small observation, the pedal kicks ass.

I don't have much to add that gordo didnt already say. I will say that I had to drill out the DC jack some because it was just a little too small. Everything is pretty tight overall so I recommend dry fitting the switches and pots, place them in the enclosure, then solder them. If you solder everything outside the box and anything is a little off, you may have trouble fitting it in. Lastly, depending on what knobs you use, you will probably need to hack some height off the switch or your knob will look silly. Nothing new there.

To the folks that are having difficulty with the fixed position doing anything.... disconnect wire #4. Viola

Yeah the whole fixed position is weird. Clearly this version shows it connected to ground. Yet, you can see examples of other Whetstones were it's simply left open (which is why I left it that way on my version).

Here's an example of what I am talking about.

Yupp the fixed position did nothing for me and I couldn't make it sweep. Sounded like an ehx setting but didn't amount to anything.   Nice job with the shrink wrap boots, wish I'd done that.

Thanks for another nice gutshot, peAk.  Still waiting on parts from Mouser, but I'm going to leave that 4th wire from the selector switch off.

You. Are. The. Man.

That totally made the "Fix" setting what I was hoping for. So many great tones to be had here.

Thanks tremendously for that bit of advice

Nice, I would've gotten mine yesterday, but the post office couldn't be bothered with delivering it to my door. Now I gotta wait until Monday when they deliver to my apartment complex office. I hate those guys, I really do. They used to be great. Thank Luis DeJoy.....

Ever since Covid and now this Texas winter freeze, USPS is at a new level of awful.

My mail here was bad long before DeJoy or covid, but it's definitely getting worse and my regular carrier is awful. There's a 50/50 chance he'll even come on any given day. He's also stopped bothering to put the flag down on myailbox when I put out outgoing mail.

They are.

Are the switches the sub mini switches?

Yes Jimi

The switches will sit lower than your pots so I recommend a dry fit into the enclosure before soldering. You can back up the bottom jam nut on the switches to raise the base some as well as not soldering them all the way down to the PCB.


If you are not careful, your PCB will lean and you may not get enough of your switches thread to poke out to get the nut on.

Hopefully I am making sense

I thought they were, I was just trying to decide which switches to order. He included spdt switches, and I have some on on on just no on. Love my switches gots just what I need. His shipping is pretty fast too.
