Finished up a couple of pedals recently and thought I'd share.
1. BD-2. This one had a ton of components because of the multiple stages. It's a crowded board. I also did this one with gold embossing powder, which I probably won't be doing again. It was a pain. But my son and I (J and the E) enjoyed it anyway.
2. Benson Preamp. This one was a fun and easy build. Had 3 bias points to dial in and I think it sounds great. When I was building it, I didn't realize that a certain capacitor that was in the schematic I used is no longer included with the real benson. It makes the pedal run quite a bit hotter. So in a few weeks, I'll mod it by adding a switch that will allow a different value capacitor, the current value, and no capacitor in the circuit. Essentially adding low gain, medium gain, and high gain settings. Would also be cool to add an internal switch for Germanium transistors vs the normal silicon. Maybe.
Next in the pipeline are a Tacobolt/Superbolt, EP Booster, and Morning Glory.
