Adventures in starting a pedal company!

I also finished a clone of a Submarine Bass Preamp. My paint guy used "safety yellow" powder and this thing is awesome! Paint pens again to hand draw the submarine and the labels.

I've been having some issues with my Mastodooms that people have ordered. The blend circuits just won't work for anything, I'm not entirely sure what the issue is yet but I've narrowed it down to one half of the blend boards. The problem here is that I've built quite a few now with the exact same board design without an issue, so, I'm having a tough time working out the issue. Parts are in the mail to do a new blend design I've been toying with, hopefully that will solve it and they'll be good to go in 2 weeks or so.

Is this the a clone of the infamous submarine I've always heard about?

Finished another Mastodoom today! Here's some pics, this one was done without the blend circuitry and put in a 125B enclosure instead of the normal 1590BB. I also have been working on a revised PCB design that will fit in a 1590B box (even smaller than this one for those who aren't familiar with box names) and still include all of the features!

Dear TB,

I love you guys, my pedal business has so far been exclusively to my brothers here on the best music forum on the net! As thanks, I'm instating a permanent coupon code for my site, just enter TB15 at checkout to receive 15% off any order!

I've also just added a new product (and I'm finalizing some pedal designs that will be up in the next few weeks) called the Tesla Cannon Jr.! Pick one up now for $72 (with discount!).

Thanks again, and check my signature for site address!

AND!!! My Facebook page is 1 like away from a free set of patch cables being given away as I promised a few weeks ago! "Like" my page to be entered to win them! https://www.facebook.com/McNeesMusicTechnology

The giveaway finished, and the winner came from TB! I also finished the prototype for a new bass fuzz I'm working on. I've gotta test out the blend circuit I plan to implement, and we may be looking at the Mastodoom 2.0!
