Verellen Big Spider Distortion: Audio Samples

[faceinbass]

It's like the band Sunn O))) in a box.

and for that, you shall have gutshots...
this weekend, the screwdriver comes out to play.

Also, the knobs don't seem to do much.
I just dime them both and am happy.

This might be the single greatest thing said about a fuzz box ever.

Indeed it does. Wow. Haven't been that delighted by a fuzz in a while. Monstrous!

[faceinbass]

Thanks.

Sorry Mate! I haven't forgettn.
Our guitarist took this home with him on Friday and I haven't seen it back. My guess is that it will magically reappear this Friday at practice. i WILL do those shots.

I better save that last one to the desktop before the Thought Police come and delete it.

 

[faceinbass]

can you not post gut shots in here?

:edit: oh, it says a 'bad' word.

ditto.

Gotta love a big ****in spider.

Thanks!

Lots of transistors and electrolytic caps. Only one pair of germanium diodes which is interesting.

I wish boutique pedal makers would learn to solder properly and use better quality wire.

Rcubed - at least this doesn't like like the inside of a Death By Audio box!!! DBA soldering is silly and embarassing!

Cool to see Germs in there, but here is yet another pedal that could be about a quarter of its size...Still looks cool though!

Very true!

I was just looking through my saved schematics and think I've figured out what the circuit is based on - the Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2.

Both have five transistors, a tone switch, tons of electrolytic caps and a single pair of diodes. Looks like I know what I'll be breadboarding up next.

I've soldered a bit here and there.
The job on this isn't THAT bad.

Well, maybe I was a bit too harsh. I've seen much worse. At work I have to be extra anal about goods solders, cleaning off flux, etc. for our PCBs.

Those all seem to be 10uF cabs so it's no surprise that the pedal has plenty of low end.

Yeah, 10uf cabs do rock the low.

wish i could make one...
