WARLOCK- Steampunk

My inspiration for this pedal was the wood. In the right light it's dark with a red underbelly.

Couldn't help but think it's kinda evil. Witchy. Went from there.

With a theme like that. It's got to be Badass. I've always known about a boutique kiwi pedal builder called RedWitch and I knew they made a fuzz god, had a look and lo and behold the circuit

Fuzz Main With A Wrath Footswitch,, Sounds goodie.

  

Gathered my bits and as before I used sketchup for some initial design work.

 

Also had to use Inkscape to create etch masks.

 

Ordered some parts for the circuit, found the transistors needed in a metal can version, so thought I'd mojo the circuit a bit as well and started building. While I'm building I'm thinking seeing as I've only used Rune symbols for the knobs, I could really put any circuits I like in it. 2 even. All the pots and switches are for the fuzz god circuit and with so many it also gives you plenty of options for a duo combination. At the time it was just a thought.

The metal cans were duds in the end. Spec'd way low. BC109's are now bc549 in a silicone package and common as you get, so put them on the shopping list.

I had a circuit made up and working for the Catalinbread "Dirty little secret MKII". uses 5 pots and 2 switches. Waiting for me to come up with a box design. Left with one knob. mmm. The ZVEX super hard-on seems to get a rave. I've wanted to make one. So I decided to put them in for now. In the end I changed the boost to a crackle not OK version. the crackle on the original seemed to come through all the time, not just when I dialed the pot. Badass, Evil, Black sabbath, Metallica running on 18v via  switchable charge pump) coupled with a hot little booster. It's WARLOCK DOOM by accident. The circuit has a presence trimmer which I decided I wanted to mount as an external pot and managed to squeeze one of the smaller packaged pots I pulled from the fried marshall in on the side, covered with a bit from a compressor valve,
