I've Gone... Pedal CRAZY!

[mayfly]

Recently I built a guitar pedal (BYOC Green Pony) for a client.  I liked it so much that I built one for myself.  Then I decided to build a phaser.  Since then I've, well, er, I've...


... gone Pedal CRAZY!!

Awesome  :icon_thumright:  I love the BYOC stuff, I've built several of them over the years. Great job with the graphics, did you print decals yourself?

 

[mayfly]

The ones with the graphics came that way from BYOC.  I plan to do my own graphics with the other three in a bit - just waiting on some dry-transfer ink-jet paper from Korea...

I don't know about Korea, but I've gone through this with deliveries....................[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZfGmVgCwb0[/youtube]

Before I went digital, many BYOC pedals populated my boards.

Cool

I've built a Classic Fuzz, a "Large Beaver" (ram's Head) and a Mouse (Rat clone). Since December.

I screwed up on the Rat clone--can't get it to work. I put the LEDs in completely wrong --and messed up de-soldering, -re-orientating them and re-soldering. It's messy. I scorched the circuit board a little.
I'll take another crack at it this weekend.

So... when a Mayfly Designed pedal will apear?

Funny you should ask.  The un-painted one at the top is my own little creation...

Nice! You have the manual talent I with I had...

Thanks!  BTW, I'm thinking of calling the pedal 'the velvet sledgehammer'

BBIAB? (That's "B-Bender In A Box"...)

No it's just a unique overdrive using some new tech.

Cool, I'm not the only one!  Bought a Tube Screamer clone kit, and I think I completely hosed it. My crap soldering iron might be adequate for bigger things like pots, but I think the delicate precision needed for a CB was just beyond this iron's capability (and mine so far).

I felt like I was trying to filet a tenderloin with a butter knife for as heavy-handed as I was.

My slow boat from China arrived. 

Too bad, I kind of liked hanging out with that trumpet player...

I would love to know what the intended contents of those boxes would be.

A bunch of OD pedals.  Well, "the velvet sledgehammer" is really a distortion pedal.

They use a new technology that uses quantum tunnelling that was developed in my home town of Edmonton, AB.  Some tuning to do, but they sound pretty great so far.

 

[ChrisMC]

Me too.  I had to go to a bigger board to fit a couple more pedals, but then I had a bunch of empty space, and I didn't like that, so I filled it. 

Eventually though it started to give me back problems, so now I use the board in the studio, and I use the Helix when I play out. It's much lighter than my pedalboard.
