I need a Mario themed pedal

Just finished building as Fuzz Dog Harmonic Percolator kit, not a complicated build but I wanted to try a HP style pedal for a while, and I was looking for something to try and build so after a google I landed on this one.

Nice fun pedal (if you like fuzzy stuff) and be quite subtle to a bit more mad.

Again I didn't want to get into trying to finish the case, so I just got a cheap badge off eBay and stuck it on!

bit of a theme going on...

How did you stick the badges on @markblack ? That's a cool way to make pedals look a bit more "pro" without much extra effort.

markblack

@english_bob just some araldite or supergule. They are only for home use, but as you say gives them something. I also like the ebay hunt for a suitable badge.

Yeah, I had quick eBay search for "enamel badges" and I can imagine that adding a day or two to the process of getting all the bits together for a new build.

Presumably just some hefty clippers or a junior hacksaw to get the pin off the back...

@english_bob yep. The backs come off with pliers - then i just dremel the weld off to get the badge flat.

pics here as well.

Simple drive with a independent boost stacked into it…

@poopot that looks great, envious of people who can build without needing a kit and who can do a build as neat as that! (I won't be showing the inside of mine...it works, but it ain't pretty)

Thanks… it’s easy enough just to follow the circuit diagram tbh… not a massive parts count either!…

Now you've got me looking at multitools.

@poopot what do you use at the connecting wire? Is it pretty ridged stuff?

Yeah you need solid core… .8mm 

or…. In this case… paperclips

markblack

@poopot i did wonder if it was paper clips... But didn't want to insult you by asking

Lastest two. 

First the Pink Fuzz - this is a Sunface circuit, with added EHX boost and a big muff tone stack. The sustain in this is insane, and is definitely like a more 60s big muff. 

the Green box is a EQD delay and modulation with added one knob reverb.

Finished the box on the point to point build…

Ladies and gents… the “PurpleRed”

Wow that's incredible! The internals too! It makes my recent kit build look a bit lame to say the least.
