Big Cheese in a 125B - the Feta Complis

[plesur]

Here's what I've been up to recently, a Lovetone Big Cheese clone in a 125B. I call it the 'Feta Complis'.

It sounds pretty, er, cheesy. It's got the four modes: tone bypass, scoop, hump and cheese. I haven't got the original to compare it to, but it sounds quite close to the demos on YouTube.

My bass player loves this thing on the cheese setting, he says it makes his bass sound rude

The relay bypass is a wider board I made for Jack Orman's AMZ true-bypass relay controller so it could sit on top of the switch right at the front. It's a shame that I've got lots of those little green PCBs he makes for it left over. I'd buy just the PIC chips, but you have to buy 100 at a time.

Very cool stuff.
Shine that enclosure so it'll do those pretty insides justice

Ahh gotcha. I have one of his board/controller sets. I need to find a good project to use it on.

awesome. you selling pcbs?

I'm not selling in bulk, but I do have a spare PCB because OSH Park makes you order them in batches of three. If you or anyone else wants it you can have it for cost price: $6/£4.  Shipping to the US is about $5. In the UK, £3.

So, totals are $11 US or £7 UK.
