Presenting this week's pedal builds

That first one is actually a couple of weeks old but I forgot to take pics...

The original manufacturer built two pedals on exactly the same circuit, switching a couple of parts to end-up with two very similar but subtly different pedals. Using a 3pdt toggle switch, I can access both modes.

I like it a lot, very modern and high gain, tight but not sterile either....

I was trying new decals for the labels (except for the "Scavenger effects" one) and, as you can see, they're not transparent enough once clear-coated... I'll stick with my original ones. I was trying a criss-cross pattern in the metal, which is ok but not amazing. White led on this one.

Next one is a Green-Russian Big Muff clone. I built it to do a comparison between it and my Triangle BMP clone. Lots of bass, great tone again. You'll notice the voltage-starve pot on this one too.
The design was acid-etched, painted green and then sanded in order to have only the etched part green (except for the black bar under the knobs, which I left black after the etch to contrast more with the knobs). Red led.

Built on a home-etched PCB, layout from Tonepad.org.

Last but not least, Devi Ever Hyperion Fuzz. I built this one today.
I'm actually quite impressed with this fuzz. I heard it on youtube and liked it but through my rig it's quite impressive. Very high gain, LOUD as heck and very cool sounding.
I etched the enclosure, painted the two colors , sanded and voilà, "3D" colors..or sorta. Red led. I like the looks of this one the best of these three...

I've got at least two in the works for next week...

They are all far too cool. Not just great looking, but those are exactly the kind of pedals on my "to get list". Its eerie.
My next project is a russian muff...is the starve knob worth installing?

Well, yes and no... I like to experiment so for me yes... It's also a dirt-cheap mod so there's no real reason not to, unless the stock tone is enough for you and don't knoe what you'd do with the dying battery tone...

Thanks for the great words fellas!
