Rather, this post should’ve been entitled “Latest Build: They weren’t kidding when they said working bare aluminum is hard”. More on this later. My latest build, another guitar pedal from Build Your Own Clone is the Silver Pony, which is a clone of the revered Klon Centaur. The Klon Centaur, which apparently has not been in production in some time, is perhaps one of the most coveted pedals ever, also one of the most hotly debated. (more…)

Latest project – working on the BYOC Tremolo. I’ve tested it out, the device sounds great, and it should be a nice addition to my pedalboard. The enclosure is being hand painted by local artist Josh Nichols – he’s pretty darn awesome and I’m excited to see what he’s going to come up with. If you note on the images, I haven’t finished the heatshrink and the 9v DC plug is not connected as it gets attached to the chassis at final assembly. I’ll post pics of the finished product when I have it fully assembled. In the meantime, here’s some pictures of the build.
