i've gone on a pedal building bender and just can't stop lol.
to start my "RAT Fink" got a new enclosure...
the "Primal Scream" got a new red enclosure and a toggle for stock mids or bass boost...
then we have the "Moon Drive" which is based of a Distortion + with a bunch of mods and high end parts which make it more of a cool OD than a distortion and when used as a distortion it doesn't suck like a stock real D+ does lol. i did lots of messing with the clipping section and other cap values to get this thing rockin'!! also note, it's not a relic, it's a rat rod (hence all the hot rod decals). for you non car guys you'll have NO idea what that is but it's cool, trust me LOL. just ask wattage and butnut if you don't get it they will. :smokin:
i also have another pedal in the works but am waiting on some parts still so that won't be done for a few days.

when i mess with resistors and caps and clipping it's based on a TON of reading online and on several forums to see what possible mods there are for a pedal and what each one does and how it works. then i try a few things i've read about and a few thing of my own and mix and match a mod that guy A does with a mod guy B does and perhaps even using a part that i have and just want to try. lots of trial and error and going from the bench to the amp. doing this i think i nailed the perfect OD though and also made the D+ a useful pedal which in stock form is...well...not so useful lol. as for paint, some of them i paint and others i buy pre-powdercoated from pedal parts plus and then i add waterslide decals i custom make and clear them in.
