Achilles last flan.

HOLEEE CRAP, its been a while.  Was out of town there for a bit and I just havent gotten much built in a while, or at least not completed.  Here’s one I made prior to my travels for the legendary crambler, Mr. John Adams.  John was looking for a number of things but one thing he was after was some sort of gain box to be used with keys!   Keys arent really my specialty but I started thinking about gain boxes, and preamps of the vintage nature, and came to this dude.

What is it?  Its a clone of the old Echoplex preamp!  What most people dont realize is that in addition to delay, the old Echoplex units were used by countless players simply as preamps/boosters.  This includes Page, Van Halen, etc.  So this is just that….the Echoplex with all the fancy stuff removed, and shoved into pedal form.  Err…..not actually pedal form, though.  By request this guy was made to be an effect box to sit on top of the keyboard, and thus has a toggle for hand operation.  Cramble on.
