Batmodrive...!!

Here's one I've been thinking about for a while.. Finally it's done! The Batmodrive! It's the RAT circuit with all the right parts+3x clipping selector switch and the famous "Ruetz mod". The clipping switch has the standard silicon, like the original rats, LEDs like the Turbo RAT, and germaniums like the "You Dirty Rat". Basically three rats in one! The Ruetz mod makes the rat fuller and reduces the gain a little. Very useful to have this one available on a switch.

Netune Delay

Just finished this one yesterday. A super cool delay circuit by a cool dude over at the BYOC forum who goes by the name "culturejam". It's a digital delay, but sounds quite analog-ish. It features a "crazy" momentary switch. When you hold it down it does a weird pitch thingy...pretty hard to explaine. Do a youtube search for "Neptune delay". There's a couple of cool demos of it there.

"Clone" Centaur

Here's a couple of "clones". Most of you gear geeks out there know about this circuit. If it sounds as good as the crazy money the originals are going for..? Well, thats up to the crazy to decide I guess. I like it alot! All the right parts and strange values. These two are gone so..need to make another one for myself. Now, where did I put those 392k resistors...

Envy...

Green with envy.. 808 Tube Screamer clone with some basic mods. I can switch between two types of clipping diodes(silicon and LEDs), and two "fat" modes. No mid hump! This one has more gain at maximum setting, and less at the minimun than the stock screamer pedals. I replaced the input impedance resistor with a higher value(620k) and improved on the freq. response of the tone knob. Higher gain transistors(MPSA18) and a MC1458 op amp. Sounds smooth with silicons and crunchy with LEDs. Awesome! The distressed paint job came out pretty cool...I think..

 

Ross Compressor

Here's a Ross Compressor clone I built on a BYOC pcb. Very Nice compressor! This one has the attack pot which is a very nice feature. Tantalums like the original had, and I threw in some high quality parts like WIMA caps and metal film resistors. AND... a very nice and mojotastic RCA CA3080E of course.

BYOC Scrambled Octave

Hi there! Just finished up a BYOC kit for my friend Lars. (Check out his band The I!!) It's the Scrambled Octave kit. Basically a Ampeg Scrambler clone with all the right parts. Great octave up effect! The blend knob is a cool feature..you can clean up the sound all the way down to a clean signal, or go crazy with the velcro like fuzz! Easy build. I want one too...! Recommended!
