The white stripboard is super cool, and that little daughterboard for the pcb-mount pots is a nice touch as well.

Thanks! Yeah those pots were the only B100Ks I had, so it had to be done that way, plus it made the power and ground connections a bit cleaner.

Thank you! I had originally planned to just cover it in alcohol ink drips and call it a day, but got carried away and it turned into a week-long project. Also this was my last 1590B enclosure so gonna have to order more soon.

Here the works I did this weekend.
Top row are all Lastgasp Art Laboratories clones, built with Deadend FX PCBs: first a tweaked 88 (it's the third one I've built so far, first 2 being 1:1 stock, so for this one I changed 2/3 components to have a beefier sound and a different/wider oscillation range, no expression input and a 3 way diodes clipping switch Si-none-LEDs), Green Monster (I provided Dino the pictures to track this one, as I own the original, the clone sounds exactly like the original LAL, and the additional gain switch is very useful and expends all the rotten noises this pedal delivers), then a stock Octavella replica.
Bottom row are fuzz clones built with PedalPCB boards: left a EQD Black Ash (with few tweaks, like external pot for Q3 Bias, additional input Bass/Mass control borrowed from a Basic Audio schematic, and a Low/High gain switch on Q2) and right a Basic Audio Mutant Fuzz clone (all stock).

Well almost finished! Until I figure out where i put my dymo cartridges. IVP on Aion fx's board. I had this half done forever so feels great to have gotten it done finally.

This one is a slap in the face!

LAL Gomorrah, PCB from Deadend FX, a "subharmonic fuzz" as they say.

Sounds very cool on its own and absolutely amazing pushing bass heavy fuzzes like the Frantone Peach for example.

As for the graphics: it wasn't too far from Gomorrah to Sin City .....

And while I'm at it, I think I forgot to post my FUZZ BOXX.

First half, so to speak, is a Mastotron (BOOM) and a Dark Meathead (SLAM), with an order switch.
Then there's an (LM386) octave fuzz (SLAP) and a Peach Fuzz (BANG), also with an order switch.

Got a bit bored with the down time waiting for the Echodrive boards to show, so I decided to visit an old Pink Jimi Photon project from 2011, the Liberal Komrade.

In a nutshell, it's a Fuzz Face variant, with a pair of MP16B's doing power plant duties, symmetrical germanium D9E diodes clipping for extra badassery, and an MPSA18 boost in the tail pipe as the afterburner. The original version didn't feature a post boost stage, and Jimi didn't like the fact that you had to run it almost flat out to get unity, so he stole the post boost stage from the Spaceman Gemini III fuzz, and tacked it to the tail end of things.
IT. IS. LOUD. AS. FUCK.
Jimi originally had the post boost section set up with a boost footswitch, but I decided to just run it full time. Anything over halfway on the pedal volume (Doom) will just kick the snot out of your amp (and ears). Past that, it just get redonkulous. Surprisingly though, roll back the guitar volume and it cleans up very nicely. Anywhere between 2 and 6 is very touch sensitive, allowing you to go from almost crystal clean to crunch, just with the picking dynamics. Roll up to 10, and it's all out mayhem. Very cool.

I made some minor cap additions and value changes, just for noise control and tonal adjustment, but it's basically the same as what Jimi published all those years ago. Using a 7660 to provide bipolar power for the PNP's and the MPSA18, and also allows for use of a daisy chain without the polarity issues. Using relay silent switching as well. With this much gain in the tank, I didn't want to have to deal with possible switch clicking, so I decided to address it from the get go. Something I always wanted to build, but kept getting side tracked. Also the first vero I've done in eons. Overall, pretty pleased.

Super Cool! I provided the pictures to DeadEnd to track the Gomorrah! I have a cb but still have to find the time to put the pedal together, super curios to hear how it compares with the original (all Lastgasp clones by Deadend are stop on with the originals in my experience)

No Memory build. Works fine, but not really keen with the ghost mode switch sandwiched between the lag and direction switch. Would probably be best to just use a DIP switch inside.

Enormous thanks to oldangelmidnight for allowing me to get the low down on this wonderfully ethereal effect. I was trying it out today down in the shop, just straight guitar into it, plucking some open chords. My poor wife thought the wind chimes in the back were clanging. She had a moment trying to connect the dots. :lol:
