So the other day my buddy Darren Hawe tagged me in a Facebook Post with someone else mentioning that I build pedals. The guy he tagged me with said that he was looking for a fuzz pedal. I LOVE FUZZ!!! I with out a doubt took the build on. After talking to him he mentioned that he played bass and not guitar. I thought "what a wonderful opportunity to build a Madbean Sabertooth" This is a Mastodon clone. I already have the art worked out and I also already etched the board. I also have most of the parts for the build too! Just waiting on Pots from Tayda now. I am VERY excited to do this. Not only will I make a little scratch (not much, I typically don't charge much at all and will give Darren a "finders Fee") but i get to play with water slide decals for the first time. HUGE shout out to Cody (self destroyer on the MB forum) for the water slides!
Cody's Blog (linked on the right) has been the BIGGEST help to me. It has inspired me to etch my own boards and really clean up my wiring. He was also kind enough to share his 3PDT design with me so I could make those awesome daughter boards myself. If anyone is reading this go to his blog and check out his pedal builds. They are BEAUTIFUL! they them selves are works of art.
Now time to get busy and build a SABERTOOTH!! I'll be back with the final build report. For now here is the artwork I came up with. Hope you dig it.
