I just built a Suhr Riot pedal :o

Post by KCTigerChief »

No really...Just finished the circuit, still gotta box it up.

Has the Clipping options switch to go from 2 red diffused LED's to a bright blue clear LED, to regular diode clipping. I used 1n34a diodes, and 1n4148's as well.

The caps on the far right are because I didn't have a 1uf, and had to improvise...will get changed when I order parts to put it in an enclosure :lol:

The second one is a quick and dirty video

I could get an accurate quote, but ballpark after the enclosure, jacks, knobs and all, probably around 40-50 bucks! maybe less...It's really a lot cheaper than 200 :cop: :lol:

And I actually built it off a layout on tagboardeffects. That site is fan-fucking-tastic...HUNDREDS of pedal clones...hundreds...

Madbeans layout was before this pedal had been really inspected...His sounds nice, but the layout I posted is from a suhr that was taken apart and each part was measured and charted...So, in theory, it should be the closest to the actual Riot...

Noice!

I hate tagboard though. I tried some tagboard stuff but anything bigger than a fuzz face and it gets easier to just etch a pcb. Which is what I do now.

Speaking of pedal building, I just finished a WIIO clone this morning.

Keep up the good work!
Tele / Strat / LP / Sheraton
Into -> Pedals (too many)
Into Plexi clone / '68 Bassman / JCA 100 / '65 Ampeg M-15
Into 2x12 with Green Beret / Reaper 55hz OR 4x12 with G12T75s

Good deals with: Ovid9, paul88lx, Y0UNGBL00D, boonestunes, Laura from Valvequeen.

Drae! Let me know what you think as far as a comparison goes. Unfortunately I've never played one, so it just sounds great to me, no comparison to go off of though. Understand it's a shitty iPhone mic though :lol:

Pedal sounds sick! Nice tele as well. What are you tuned to? Sounds heavy, esp for a tele :zomby: :rawk:
