That LED went from green to red and back! Awesome!

Looks good, though, post s0ndz?
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

your next project is to make a pedal that looks like the box on darth vader's chest.

Yeah I'll make a demo of this either Sunday or sometime next week. I'm playing a charity gig tomorrow after I do my running and I'm building more pedals on Sunday, so it's pretty bus-ay!

The knobs were salvaged from this cruddy solid state amp I got free with my Flying V that we smashed at Doogfest. This is a pedal I've built for ProgRockAbuse.

He has the other two knobs on a Tonebender Mk II I built him.

the knobs have that oppressed child labour Mojo. when you play, it's makes you guitar sound like their tears and there wails of pain and torment.

on a serious note, i really really hate having to go on holiday this week, as i have to wait till next friday to hear and see it in action. the tonebender has already become a pedal that i would save from burning build and leave the wife :lol: and this duo-fuzz will be the ultimate for me.

what it sounding like mike? has it got that upper octave fuckery going on?
