Ok evil evil people. this is my first entry. I'll be posting another one shortly...

Cannon. Based on the Viole(n)t Rams Head version of the Big Muff, Cannon has 4 x GT404B Russian Germanium transistors, and 4 x D18 Russian Germanium Diffusion Diodes. It's as loud and as angry as you would expect a germanium fueld, vintage based big muff to be. It's a little bigger than the size of a "Little Big Muff" or the current tone wicker model. And now it's got a bit more of a sinister look to it.

As you can see from the guts, it's a big vero. It's wired on gold-plated vero, instead of the usual copper. It's party-piece is in the guts. I've heard of people "Floating" boards before, to avoid them grounding off the case. With this build, i wanted to try something else. So the board isn't floated, it's suspended.

Aaah, it hangs from the wires of the pots+jacks. Nice solution. I like it.

Here's mine. I call it "The Bat Boost" and it's a full-range boost with "high" and "low" tone controls that gives me a Black Sabbath kind of tone. I have NOTHING on the pedals designed so far, but maybe I get points for creativity? I hand painted the graphics (and designed it myself) in glow-in-the-dark paint, the eyes light up, I used recycled "mojo" parts from random broken stuff (back from the dead!!), and the Q1 transistor is part number 666!! I kid you not! I tried to get a picture of it, but it just comes out all blurry (including taking a clear picture not zoomed in and trying to zoom in after the fact with Photoshop). And this IS my first pedal that I've actually designed and painted the enclosure for myself, and I think that comes into play in the voting??? Thanks, this was fun!

And so the time has come to fight against the great evil. To absolve sinners. To create a new path.

It is time to bring Redemption.

A hybrid overdrive running on a single 12AX7, and three J201's. It has 5 controls, from right to left, Texture - Input Caps; Tone - Filter based on the BMP filter; Gain - From crunchy boost to redeeming fury; Volume - Quiet to oh no my face has just been ripped off; Density - Output Caps. This thing is now replacing any overdrive i have had in my setup. The crunchy is vintage, the fury is powerful, and the tone, set just right, is the perfect blend of treble and bass. Wired up on Gold Plated vero, with a compact and organised board. This build was a tough one to endure, but it was worth every second.

That's me done.

Hmmm. There are 7 entries on the "pictures" thread, but only 6 on this thread. I think Biozazard's entry is missing! Better get it on here! The entries have to be posted on both threads, I think.

man, it was a pain to wire inside that skull !!

Switch that turns the fuzz is on top of the skull and will also light the eyes. There are 2 pots, one on each ear to control tone. The switch in the nose flips between 2 different diodes that severely change the sound.

Lol, that's definitely unique, but how do you turn the effect on/off? With your feet?

Brymus · « **Reply #157 on:** August 04, 2010, 05:26:29 PM »

Well this was to be my entry...

Two battery clips for back up or 18v operation

Dr Boogie with mods and extensive sockets for re-tweaking the EQ and gain stages.
Also the standard dual volume switch.
The eyes are getting drilled for leds...
And a light bar on the bottom was planned ,but IDK now.
Cryin shame I didnt make it,but oh well I still need to finish this bastage !!!!

LucifersTrip · « **Reply #158 on:** August 04, 2010, 05:28:30 PM »

I rushed the pic so much that I used the wrong aspect ratio...and didn't have time to figure out inline imaging.
Here's the corrected aspect:

the switch on the top of the head...it's a toggle for now because I wasn't able to get the push button in time for the comp! The eyes light up when the fuzz goes on

Pots in the ears control tone and the switch in the nose flips between 2 different diodes with very different tones
