Swollen Pickle Layout?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone

I want to make a copy of the famous Way Huge Swollen Pickle (a big muff clone) and I cant find a decent schematic or parts layout anywhere.

Please help

Do some digging around at diystompboxes.com. I recall a few people making clones and at least one person making their own pcb.

If you find the schematic or parts list you could simply swap values on an already verified Big Muff layout. You don't need the big chip. It's just four transistors put into one package. Nothing particularly special about it other than easier to build with in a production setting.

Should have posted in effects. Electronics here is misleading as it's onboard electronics.

I'll see if Ivar will move it and you should get more response.

First off I would like to say HI to every one as this is my first post here..
Good luck with the layout. If you do come across one would you please share it with me.
It seems that if any one post anything about this pedal Way Huge ( Not his real name I think his real name is jeorge trigged tiggerd or somthing) jumps in and makes them remove it he totaly cleaned out any good info that DIY stomp had..
Personaly I have yet to see a PAT number on any pickle pedal...

Are you on Harmony Central?

There was a user over there that made his own Swollen Pickle board. His name was MrSage.

Occasionally you'll see his pedals come up on ebay as Black Pearl pedals.

The BYOC kit is available. It's the Large Beaver Kit at $92.99 plus the Pickle Kit $14.99. Not bad at all.
