HGE Contraptions Core Shaper EQ clone (167th pedal built)

 A very nice EQ with the design done by dylan159 here:

My build of this semi parametric mid freq adjustable EQ with a baxandall bass and treble:

HGE Contraptions Vemuram TSV808 Clone (166th pedal built)

 This was a custom order as well, it's already the second time I've done this particular pedal variant. 

A very very nice od! The TSV808 and the JHS AT are my favs, with a notable mention for the Fulltone OCD. Here is a random take boosting an od channel (lower gain set on the amp), and also pics below:

HGE Contraptions 2in1 Booster (MXR MC401+BBE Boosta Grande clones, 165th pedal built)

Did a custom build for someone who specifically requested these two boosters in one enclosure.

The MXR MC401 Booster is first (with a Buffer/Boost switch), followed by a BBE Boosta Grande.

A very nice and useful pedal for all sorts of things. The different knobs were his choice 😁

HGE Contraptions Nobels ODR-1 Clone (164th pedal built)

Handmade HGE Contraptions Nobels ODR-1 Clone, with an added bass control pot. This is my 164th pedal built.

A great od clone, based on the old circuit.

Specs:

-Gorva Mechano 3PDT footswitch with true bypass wiring, has a soft actuating feel

-Quality parts with quality soldering work (Kester Eutectic 63/37)

-Silver plated copper with teflon coated wires

-Lumberg In/Out jacks & DC In (no battery compartment)

-Noise selected ICs (I used a specific Taiwan Semiconductor 4558 IC and a LM4562 IC) -> hiss noise about 4.5dB lower than original JRC4558D, with which I also tested

HGE Contraptions Xotic AC Booster clone (163rd pedal built)

HGE Contraptions handmade Xotic AC Booster clone (163rd pedal built). 

Sounds great and works as intended. It works best boosting an already driven amp than alone in the clean channel IMO, so would recommend it for that if you are interested. 

I used quality parts as usual: Gorva Mechano soft actuating true bypass switching, teflon coated silver plated copper wiring, Lumberg Japan ins-outs and DC in, quality resistors and caps, Kester eutectic 63/37 quality solder and solder work. Features no battery, you need a regular 9V center negative adapter. Works and sounds great on 18V too.

HGE Contraptions Relay Bypass Pedal (162nd pedal built)

 Just finished a Relay Bypass pedal for my Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 effects loop.

Very simple design, but efficient.

Fixed a deluxe bass Big Muff pedal

 Fixed a deluxe bass Big Muff belonging to a friend of a friend (he sent me some pedals to test for fun and he included this faulty unit). Works now.

Mods for my Yamaha HS-8 Monitors

 Swapped the NJM4558 IC-s in every monitor with OPA1602 IC-s and also removed the limiter circuit.

Now, they don't push exaggerated mids that much, and are a little flatter. A little better for accurate mixing and monitoring.
