Some friends of mine from when I was still gigging (always intend to get back to it of course) have started making a name for themselves. With a self titled debut album released thru a German Label, now a second album “Cadenza” just out on Memphis Industries DUTCH UNCLES look set for a bright future. … Read more

I made a Woolly Mammoth a while back, and its a serious chunk of bass fuzz. Works astoundingly well on guitar too – fat doesnt even start to describe it (!) Ive still got the original I made, it looks a bit like this: Its Mammoth in size too! One thing that bugged me was … Read more

In my previous post I stated my intentions to make my version of a Lovetone Big Cheese. Lets get things out in the open – Ive always had a big ole soft spot for Lovetone. I am fortunate to still own an DoppelGanger v4 certainly one of the coolest phasers ever made, and I did … Read more

Ive never done this before, but today I did by hand copy out onto Pad-per-Hole (perfboard) the OLC Chunky Cheese schematic. For those interested, here is the layout. You can get the details of the components from the OLC PDF (https://wp.pedalia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/olc_chunkycheese_buildguide.pdf) Here is just the links UPDATED 1st JUNE VERIFIED Here is with my cheesy … Read more

HAving just taken the time to complete some more decals for my latest builds here is a couple of images of how I make and apply them. First up, get whatever you want as the image manipulated in your favourite editor. Moment of confession here: I use MS paint! LOL. Never got into PS or … Read more

About two weeks ago I populated a board for a Way Huge Red Llama copy. Initially I planned to simply box this up on its own, as I quite like Way Huge pedals, and heck, who doesnt need another overdrive / fuzz?! For the uninitiated, Red Llama is a hard-to-pigeonhole dirt box based on the … Read more

Today I dismantled one of my many previous SHO builds, by basically gutting the box, and redrilled for my nice high end connectors and 2.1mm power jack. I built into the box a nice Nintendo thing called a Thing-Ma-Bob: Its kinda wierd, really loud, but at a specific point in the pot travel you get … Read more

Last on my list of pedals Ive completed and am happy with, the Wully Mammuth. I think this one looks pretty cool, obviously a lot of green expanse, as I boxed this in a case double the size of the original. Anyway, here is the result: Here is a nice collection pic of my completed … Read more

I have completed the Fuzz Factory 🙂 Very happy with the end results, though its still a learning curve. A little misalignment adds to the “hand crafted” appeal, right?! Just a note/disclaimer – these are 1 offs, for my own personal use, not for sale. Therefore, using the Vex artwork should not be a big … Read more
