Managed to build a functional distortion pedal! Fitted it inside a bamboo case. The build took it’s time but I’m happy with the result. I have enough components for a second unit but I’m not sure if I want to build an other distortion.. I’d like to make a 9V Analog DIY LPF by Eric Archer, a Pladask Elektrisk Gjengangar clone or a John Hollis Crash Sync. Or… Perhaps a stereo pair of Chime Amp (Punch Amp v.2).

Cultural appropriation is a tool against origin myths. I’ll take hip-hop kids blabbering about swag over finno-ugric faux-mystics any day. #☭

Managed to assemble a working distortion pedal on a breadboard. First attempt to transfer the design on a perfboard failed but I have enough components for a trial and error approach. The capasitors and diodes I selected were optimized for drum sounds. I’m working with the the Tonefied DIY club: Bad-Ass Distortion design.
