Quarantine Pedal Five Ross Clone
Quarantine pedal number Five. Ross distortion clone. Black Version. JRC4558 although I fail to hear the magic between that and my other 4558s floating around.
Electro Smash
Pretty much the same distortion as a DS-1 or MXR+. With the gain dialed back a bit, it’s pretty decent. Heather showed me how to blend inks for the color effect. ‘Sweet Cat’ eyes it suspiciously. She is either a stray or puts on a good act in return for a little wet food.
Quarantine Pedal Four ZVex SHO Fet Boost
Lisa Marie is inspecting quarantine pedal number four. A ZVex SHO FET booster clone. With all those Dirt Boxes, your gonna need a buffer ( Apparently 1 MOhm input impedance) The trade off is that the pot will crackle…no matter what. It is based on an old soundboard circuit which did the same thing. Crackle ok!
Tagboard Sho
Its pretty nice sounding. A taste of color when the gain is up, but for the most part, a very transparent booster clone.
Quarantine Pedal Three Red Llama
Xenia shows off quarantine pedal number 3. A Red Llama clone.
A CD4049 Inverter is used to square up the signal, but since its un buffered (and not a schmitt trigger like CD40106 ) it is actually is not as crunchy as I thought. I made the llama with corpse paint before testing the circuit. 🙂
Heather showed be how to use the paper die cutter for like the 10th time.
Quarantine Pedal Two Sili-Face
Here is pedal number 2 in the quarantine series. I was hoping to do a Texas Square Face with the PNP transistors I had. They were all in very poor shape and I couldn’t find a matching set of transistors. So I opt’ed for the Sili-Face. 2N5088 for both Q1 and Q2.
Heather made some sweet Day of the Dead figures that I got to add. Was crossing my fingers that the clear coat would work.
Quarantine Pedal One Colorsound
Kali shows off the first of many homemade quarantine pedals. Clone of a Colorsound one knob fuzz (NPN).
Uses a 2n2369 that I got from a box of old transistors from my dad. I had hoped I had a gold mine of PNP Ge transistors, but almost all of them were leaky and not super useful. Then NPN was good though.
Heather had some leftover scraps from making Easter cards, so I used her bunny as a stencil.
