I saw this demo and decided it would be fun to build another pedal.

The kit came in and looks pretty good.

Not sure when I will get to putting it together, but I had fun making the decal design for it.

When I heard it was called a silver pony, the first thing I thought of was "White Pony." I love that album art so I found some fonts for it and put it together.

Nice one. I also thought of White Pony right away.

Made progress tonight.

Got the resistors placed.

Then more stuff...

And in the enclosure. I had to stop because I ran out of solder.......

Looks real clean!

It's smashing! I love those knobs.

(ooo missus)

Another class job.

What diodes did you use? I see two sets, I thought the Klon only used one pair? Nice clean work, looks great!

Amazing job, that looks great. I recently tried to build a pedal and failed miserably so I have a lot of respect for any one that can do it!

It is all stock. It has three ge ones and two clipping diodes.

Nice build. It's buffered though, so they should have included a better switch than ol' bluey.

The diodes are 2 x Ge clipping diodes, 2 x silicon power diodes for the charge pump circuit, 1 x zener diode for voltage/polarity protection.

Yeah it has a built in buffer.

My first build was also a fail. I did ok reading the color bands on the resistors, but messed up the capacitors and wired the foot switch sideways. Fortunately the next two kits described the capacitors better and I learned about the switch orientation so I haven't messed that up again.

The knobs came from China. Cheap, but fun. I got then for guitar, but they are a little small. Great size for pedals.
