Your Pedalboard's Evolution (56k BEWARE!) [Get off 56K already...]

It's not a kit. I have the schematic so I bought the parts and put it together.

I've been on an effects building kick. The Brassmaster is next and I have a Fuzz Face clone I've tweaked for better lowend on my breadboard. I'm going to add a blend and tonestack and see how it does with those editions.

:eek: How much did the parts cost in total?
 
This is a pretty comprehensive history of my pedalboard. Only my "Boss" days are missing (those would have been in January 2007).

My current board is featured in the latest two shots. It hasn't changed recently, but it will soon...

The longest-running pedals have been the MXR Blowtorch and EHX Stereo Electric Mistress. :)
 
Started in about 1982 with an Ibanez PT9 phaser and DOD FX25 Envelope filter. Along the way I had a EHX Screaming Tree and one of those round Jimi Hendrix fuzz things.

I've got one more since that last shot, I'm getting one maybe two more this coming week and another in a few weeks... these things are like little crack boxes.

Do you like the Maxon better than the Small Stone?
 
Somewhere in the $35-$50 range. I'm guessing $40 just for the parts. Parts cheap, it's the labor you really pay for. Or in the case of the real deal, labor, parts and paint job. That's still a really high price for that pedal though.

You're joking me. That is absurd. Make me a clone and I'll buy it from ya :p
