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

The second one is a quick and dirty video

Thanks dude, I was very pleasantly surprised. And in hindsight, I probably should have demoed with a humbucker guitar...but whatever...I love playing that tele

how much did that set you back partswise? is there a schematic that you followed?

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

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

Office closed down, so we all got to log out for the day

But I probably would have done this anyway

nice - That's on my list of pedals I want to build, was going to use Madbeans layout, but since I have a stack of veroboard, I may use that layout you posted

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...

that's right, I think I remember that discussion on freestompboxes

KCTC: This is the guy that I told you that is a good friend of mine that works on clones like you and Eli.

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!

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

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