What’s Next?

My building time has been a bit spotty the last 2 weeks and I wanted to keep track of what I have been working on.

I have been working on an etching design for a buddy on Madbean’s forum. It’s been a bit of a disaster since I have already ruined one 125B enclosure do to a bad etch. Will try again this week.

Working on a nice Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff on a new Madbean Mudbunny 2013 black board. I love how this this is conning out as I juts did a PCB test on my rig. Super bass heavy and gets really dirty. I added the mid control you can find on the Mayo and a few other BMP variants. I also used some vintage button transistors that were around 450 HFE. They sound great in this build.

Next up is a PCB I have had half populated for over 4 months now. The Aion Refractor is a Klon Centaur overdriven clone. I have never played with a Centaur and did not get GAS over a pedal that can fetch over $2000 these days. I finished up this PCB tonight and stuck it on the test rig and I was impressed how it sounded on my Fender Twin Reverb. Nice, natural sounding overdrive and it did clean up well if needed. I used a pair of diodes I found in my stock pile that were testing at 0.34 Vf and the original unit supposedly uses diodes that are 0.35 Vf. I will definitely box this thing up soon.
