Buoyant from the success with the Pula Mare, I went on to try to produce a smaller version, using the same home-brew layout, this time employing a 3PDT footswitch and an LED, with DC 9v power.
I was at this point still using my old soldering iron setup, and struggling along with it. This build was less eventful than the last, and to be honest I think my main motivation was to prove it wasnt a fluke, and to build something that included the requisite True-Bypass with LED and 9v power that adorn all well appointed pedals these days.
So when all was said and done I ended up with something very similar to my first build, and despite trying, the 9v socket didnt work. In retrospect I managed to get this to work by actually wiring it accurately, but i think heat has caused it damage, and its intermittent at best. So this beaut simply sits on the shelf, another badge on my FX scout neckercheif if you like.
Building this (again using Maplin parts, albeit having ordered some 3PDT off ebay etc) I realised I wanted to use Hammond style cases. I sourced some of these off the eBay again, three Dynacomp sized, one more “EH mid size XO series” sized.
It was about this time I started an unsuccessful run of Bazz Fuss builds. For whatever reason, I simply am unable to make a working version of this effect. So I resorted to ….you guessed it…another SHO build, figuring “this one will be cooler cos itll be in the right size case etc”. I also decided to try a proper layout for this one.
