Post Electric Blues

Will report back after 10 listens or so…

This came about after a friend of mine asked me to build him a dirty monstrosity for Bass Guitars.

Dave from Empires was also missing a pedal to make his sound a bit more manky.

The inspiration came from two different circuits.

1. The ever so simple Bazz Fuss circuit as detailed here and laid out for veroboard/stripboard here

2. The blend control so kindly donated by Aen of Dwarfcraft Devices fame. The man is a genius, just have a look at a few of his creations on youtube or browse his forum over here.

Most of the parts were sought from Das Musikding and Banzai Effects and put together as usual.

The box was finished by using automotive paint and primer, a waterslide decal, spray on clearcoat and a toaster oven. For my next build I’ll definitely use ‘paint on’ clearcoat, should hopefully stop it from bubbling so much.

Still, the finish suits it.

Here’s the pics!

Al Conway is currently tinkering with the following. I’ll post details here when I’m finished with them.

1. Bass distortion with blend control.

2. A useful overdrive/distortion using L.E.D clipping with momentary tremolo switch.

3. Insane fuzz with feedback loop switching.

All blended with various flavours of evil.

Stay tuned.

Mmmm

You won’t be disappointed

Recently, I informed a friend of mine that I’d be spending a steamy Saturday night in with a soldering iron.

He replied “Are you building a sex robot?”

I considered the project officially named.
