    This is a hot-rodded Rat clone that has modifications that make it much more suitable for use with bass. Similar to the "Bastard" I built before, this one has lots more low end and is dirtier and fuzzier sounding. Hence the name.

    I posted this in another thread but I figured I'd put it here too since it is pedal related. This is my latest board and my first time doing a wet/dry setup and first time with a switching system and first time doing midi so there will be a little learning curve when it comes to programming but I'm looking forward to the control and the sonic possibilities available. Can't wait to play it. Have to make one more cable later this week then it's on.

    Cool! That's effing mission control right there!

    It's cool. Covers all the bases for me and it's a lot of fun. Really fun to put together too!

    Some new builds? What are we looking at, @dudeman? Overdrive (Love Pump) and fuzz (Merkin Grande)?

    Looks like more strong work! How do they perform?

    The Love Pump is a tremolo. Going to rename that one "Throbert Downey Jr." It's really flexible in that it does really subtle pulsing or deep, hard chopped trem effects. Can be used as a clean boost too.

    The Merkin Grande is a Ram's Head Big Muff clone with a 3-way Mids switch and a Tone stack bypass switch. The Tone bypass really increases the output and will drive the hell out of an amp. 

    Both of them sound great so far but I haven't had the time to really crank either of them at loud volume.

    Thanks! I'll try to get some gut shots one of these days. I'm growing more meticulous as I get older and these represent that pretty well.

    Had to do the rename. 

    I have an analog delay and an envelope filter on my bench next. Those will be the last pedals for a while. Probably going to attempt to build a Tweed Deluxe 5e3 clone next.

    I don't think I posted this one yet. It's a BC-108 based Fuzz Face. The bias is set pretty low so it has that ripping velcro kind of sound.

    you should try selling these. if you like building them i am sure someone would buy them.

    Thanks man! I have sold a couple and I do enjoy building them. It's difficult to find the time in between work and family to really build many more though. Definitely a fun hobby!

    You know, that's been on my mind for a while. I would like to build one just to learn the ins and outs of the circuit. 

    I have around 40 dirt pedals kicking around the house and I don't really need another one, but I will probably attempt the Centaur one of these days.
