War Kitty! - Afterlife + Blend + FatPants

[eldanko]

This is the War Kitty.

Specifically, it's an Afterlife with JMK's Clean Blend circuit attached on a board etched by Haberdasher (thanks Keefe!) followed by a FatPants, all in a 125B with top mounted jacks and all that jazz.  Hat tip to the Oatmeal for the kitty artwork.  Wiring isn't my prettiest, but it's functional and quiet.

As far as utility goes, this is probably my favorite pedal that I've made all year.  The Afterlife sounds particularly lovely to me, as I've always preferred more subtle compression.  The blend circuit allows me to jack up the sustain while preserving the attack, and works really well.  The FatPants is my favorite booster EVAR, and the 2012 version sounds even better than the last one I built (the old 1590A one).

While I had initially intended for the comp side to be left on all the time and the boost side to be optional for solos, I'm absolutely in love with the sound I'm getting through my Chieftain with both sides on.  Just ballsy and awesome.  Thanks again for the lovely projects, Bean!

Man, that is great artwork.  The black and green color scheme works well, IMHO.

Guts are surprisingly neat considering how much is in there.

Very, very nice. Those knobs are perfect for that build, too.

This is great! Two of my absolute favorite Madbean projects, and the artwork is super cute.

really cool bro

Very nice!!! I'm finding I'm using the AL a lot lately, it's become my fave compressor. Fatpants isn't on my board yet but will be. I ran my Line6 Variax (the cheap one) thru the Current Lover and Afterlife and into my Vox Night Train & 412 this evening at rehearsal and the sound was just sick. The NT is proving to be a superb little amp to show off pedals.

That's exactly what i was going to say.

Awesome job in and out Dan, Love It!

Very slick!

That looks great.  However, I must point out that the little kitty's helmet is far to large.  Hey, we can't all be perfect.
