Chicken Vibe (Danelectro Chicken Salad rehouse)
The Chicken Salad is a cheap vibe pedal from Danelectro. It has a very convincing uni-vibe sound but the enclosure is crap, so I decided I'd rehouse it. To be able to fine adjust the "wobble" I made the original trim-pot external, using a 10 turn 100 ohm pot. That simple mod really brought out the vibe sound!

Pigeon Fuzz
Demo played by Per Moritz.
The Pigeon Fuzz is the Axis Face built on veroboard. This is a very good sounding fuzz that features two unusual NOS transistors. Q2 = SS 108 and Q1 = SF 128.
Long Lasting Love
My friend Tomas ordered this one. The only thing he told me was: make me a pedal called "Long Lasting Love". And so here it is, Long Lasting Love, a clone of Mid-fi Electronics - Clari(not).
Skyline Fuzz
Demo played by Per Moritz. Telecaster ->
Skyline Fuzz -> Custom Vibrolux Reverb.
The Skyline Fuzz is inspired by the Fulltone 70´s Fuzz. It's built on veroboard. A very nice sounding fuzz.
SHOCD #1
A very nice combination of the OCD and the Super Hard-On. Check out DIYstompboxes.com on how to make 'em. I use this pedal almost every time I'm out on a gig.
Moritz Deluxe
Birthday gift for my friend Per Mortiz. It is two classics combined, a MXR Dynacomp clone and a DOD 250 clone (Per's favorite distortion), The layouts can be found at tonepad.com.
Spitfire Octafuzz
This is a clone of the Roger Mayer Octavia from tonepad.com. It's etched and painted with green hammertone.
Twin Tremolo
The Twin Tremolo is a modified moodysounds.com tremolo. It has two separate channels, each one with its own set of speed and depth knobs. The LED by the select switch is a red/green LED and indicate which channel is active. I also added a volume control. The enclosure is etched.
RAT clone
Clone of the classic RAT distortion. The layout comes from tonepad.com. It is of course the right IC LM308 under the hood. Very sweet sounding! This one was a birthday gift for my friend Jacob Håål.
Drive 50
Modified with a volume knob! |
Drive 50. This is the classic DIY project, the Electra distortion. Built on veroboard. It's a simple circuit but it sounds great. The only problem with this overdrive is the slight boost of the signal when engaged. To be able to control the output I had to modify it with a volume control (see abow).
Iron Fist Booster
The Iron Fist Booster is built around a PCB from moodysounds.com. I have modified it with switchable diod clipping to make it more of an distortion pedal. For sale. 500.- SEK
Cocktail Phaser
This is a clone of the MXR Phase 45. Instructions on how to build it is available at tonepad.com.
Great sounding Phaser!
Pretty Pretty Fuzz
The Pretty Pretty Fuzz is a Fuzz/Octafuzz. It is actually two effects in one box. First a modified Moody Fuzz (moodysounds.com) and then a Green Ringer clone from tonepad.com. You can switch them on and off independently or combine them together. SOLD!
