About The Pedal Creators
Everyone can build excellent boutique guitar pedals. Everything we do is to make that experience more accessible and user-friendlier. The Pedal Creators series are the best and easiest to build PCBs ever. Including most resistors and capacitors already soldered on board as SMD components, leaving the key values for you to experiment and craft your own tone. Now you can build a pedal you are proud of in less than an hour without any previous experience. What are you waiting for to become a Pedal Creator?
The Pedal creators – key features:
• Easy to build, no previous experience required. It’s like Lego for musicians.
• Fast assembly finish a pedal in less than an hour. Play your favorite record and enjoy the ride along.
• 100% mistake-proof. Even my grandma can build one while she cooks.
• Build your own boutique pedal. Experiment with different values and make the pedal you always dreamed of.
• Easy to scale. Turn your passion into a money-making machine.
Project overview
The heaviest fuzz you’d ever heard. The king of doomy fuzzes.
Introduction
The insanely huge fuzz that will satisfy all your needs and shake the walls of your house. Don’t expect mercy nor chord definition from this monster; this fuzz has been conceived to crush absolutely everything.
The notch filter and slope knobs will give you a pleasant surprise on how much you can affect the overall tone, but always keeping it in the realm of total tonal annihilation.
We prepared this board for a more compact 125b enclosure, replacing the rotary switch of the original Mountainking pedal for a more practical and convenient DPDT without losing any of the settings you can achieve with it!.
