Carrie Brownstein used to use the Super Hard-On pedal in Sleater-Kinney. This hard-on comes in three delightful designs

Other than maybe clothes/t-shirts (I think Converse do a "well worn" shoe range too for $$$) Is there any other consumer product that the manufacturer makes a beat-to-poo poo faux-jo version? where is Ford's 2014 top of the range pickup that looks like a 70's redneck deathtrap?

Go over to the denim thread in YLLS and ask about pre-faded jeans. (Actually don't because Shine will military press my nerd rear end into a trash can)

This hard-on comes in three delightful designs I love the Super Hard On and the designs but holy poo poo those are like $170 new and all they are inside is:  2 caps, 2 diodes, 4 resistors, 1 transistor and 1 pot. You could make one of these in like an hour. Maybe I should... e: non-schematic for the less technically inclined.

booshi posted:I love the Super Hard On and the designs but holy poo poo those are like $170 new and all they are inside is: You should. Z Vex is mostly about the build quality and the fun graphics rather than the design so if someone put out a cheap SHO (I get lazy about building my own stuff) I'd probably have one on my pedal board. Also they have the crackle pot but I just don't see much use in it.

IIRC she used to run the dual outs from the Super Hard-On into her AC30 and Fender Super Reverb until she got tired of lugging two amps around (last time I saw her play was with Wild Flag and she only had the Super Reverb)

It sounds just as dumb as it looks. i'll admit i have a soft spot for the 90s dod pedals. the buzz box was a good one too, a cross between the grunge distortion and an mxr blue box, which as its namesake said sounds like a vacuum cleaner i'm sure there's some boutique rear end in a top hat charging like $300 for a clone of this with some stupid paint job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8BWN6HruXo

It's a gain pot too. It just says "crackle okay" since it will make a crackling noise if the pedal is engaged when it's on. I'm drilling enclosures this afternoon for a few projects and have a spare enclosure so I'll prep one for being a SHO. The only thing I don't have is the transistor, maybe (drat I need to organize/keep track of my stock of components). It's basically a Radio Shack project (they have a suitable transistor there but I dunno if they stock reverse log pots). I'll try putting one together. If it turns out well, maybe I'll sell a few to goons?

e:^^^^^^ If you can read schematics (that was the only image that was less technical that I could find): Declan MacManus posted:Oh, I know it's a gain pot, I just don't know why it crackles (besides vintage vibezz I guess?). Yeah basically. I think it's designed after pots on old recording equipment or something that would crackle when they were turned. I need to get some materials to put some art on my pedals too. And labeling knobs dumb names but I'm thinking of regardless of the design, if the pedal has a tone knob I'm going to make a huge TONE label.

also, make sure you use a schem with proper protections for the mosfet transistor or it will be subject to croaking, p. sure zvex figured that out and fixed it at some point but crackle is still apparently ok (lol) (don't run DC on the pot for real)

Pots and stomp switches are usually more easily found online, unless your local store is awesome. Speaking of which, I've never been to a Microcenter before, and just realized they are around here. They stock more stuff than Radioshack?

What were the dumbest pot names on those '90s DOD pedals?
