Electra pedal! Considering the work I put into what is the easiest pedal to build, I’m calling this quarantine pedal six.
I actually built this in 2016, but the box looked like a trainwreck.
For some reason I used nail polish on it. I used it as a temp excuse to play with clear coat and somehow mixed clear coat with black paint! Then I dremeled the paint off which just gouged the aluminum. Oops And the 3PDT switch gave out. Those blue ones suck.
So, it is reall a rebox, redo and a repaint. And I swapped out the 2n3904 for 2n2369.
I used the Cricut to cut the vinyl which looks way better.
Ducky is sniffing intently. If your looking for a first pedal to DIY, this is the one. Dirt simple and it sounds fine.
The Electra circuit is pretty much what a transistor based overdrive is ( not fuzz)
