CWS107-112
Second batch of 3-knob OAM PANO boosts.
CWS101-106 - 3-knob PANO
The first release of the 3-knob PANO boost. This newest revision brings a bass knob to the front panel control which gives a greater range as well as fine tuning of the bass frequencies.
CWS079-082 - dual boost
Batch of 4 dual boost pedals, OAM VB-1 on the left, OAM Panorama on the right. These have a single input and output and a shared 9V power jack. An amber LED was used on the Panorama side, and a pink LED for the VB-1 side.
CWS058-063
This was the first batch of OAM VB-1, a newer boost circuit that I was working on, which was offered to those who had already purchased an OAM Panorama. The VB-1 is a bassier, fuzzier single transistor circuit which has controls for volume and bias. With the bias set low it acts as a low-mid gain boost, and with the bias high it enters a gated fuzz territory.
CWS049-057
Batch of 8+1 OAM Panorama boost pedals.
CWS046-047 - dual boost
CWS047 was the first production dual boost custom built for Evan Weiss of Into It Over It. It featured a brushed aluminum case, oxblood knobs, and amber (OAM Panorama) and pink (OAM VB-1) LEDs.
CWS025
This boost was made for Arun Bali of Saves the Day. It was constructed in a similar fashion to the boosts CWS017-019, but with a bass switch on the top of the case which switches between flat (down), tight (center), and a bass boost (top).
CWS023-024
Channel switcher for Fender Super Bassman. Removable 1/4" cable on left side. Dual LEDs correspond with the channels on the amp. Powered by 9V battery or external 9V (power not required for operation).
CWS022 - Dual Mute
The Dual mute independently mutes two signals which pass through it. When the LED is on, the signal passes unaffected. Switching either side of the effect will mute the signal and turn off the LED.
CWS016
Boost pedal with modified tone section. The capacitors were selected from extended use with CWS008, to be the exact same circuit when the pedal was in its most utilized setting.
CWS013 - Flute Filter Fuzz
This pedal has been in the works for a long time. I suppose the story starts years ago when I scavenged an old roadside Gulbransen organ, thrilled to find it overflowing with nice reusable poly caps, resistors, switches, pots, wire, and transistors. I got out my desoldering iron and went to work, filling drawers with parts that I hoped to someday use to build pedals with, even dreaming to make 100% recycled pedals with only parts that were destined to the trash dump.
CWS012 - Brazil Tremolo
This pedal was created against all odds, in the back lounge of a Prevost nightliner between Chicago and Seattle, then flown to Brazil where it was placed in the hands of its new owner. I do so few commissions, that sometimes I wonder why I take the ones that I do. Perhaps this one just seemed crazy enough of an undertaking that I was determined to make it happen.
CWS011 - AB Amp Switcher
AB amp channel switcher built for live use with green (CH1) and red (CH2) LEDs. The switch will also work with any equipment that requires a TS connection using the channel 1 output.
CWS010
Momentary A/B switch for switching two inputs to one output. This pedal was built specifically to switch a microcassette player into the signal path when the switch on the pedal was held down.
Project 001 - Fixing an old (Boss) power supply
If you're like me, you have a whole bunch of these kinds of power supplies all mangled up and lying broken in a box or tossed in a drawer somewhere. Instead of throwing them out and buying a new one, here's a simple 15 minute process for returning your power supply to good as, or better, than new working condition.
CWS008
Boost with six-way tone rotary switch.This pedal is yet another progression of the boost circuit found in pedals CWS001-CWS004, consisting of a volume and tone control. Instead of the continuous tone control as found in CWS004, this pedal has 6 different settings which are selectable with the 6-way rotary switch.
CWS007
This pedal was made to the same specifications as CWS006, based on a circuit which was published in Electronics Australia in November, 1968. It has a similar sound to the tremolos that were built into the circuits of the amps during that time period.
CWS006
Tremolo pedal based on EA tremolo design. This pedal was built fairly true to the circuit, with minor adjustments to the controls to give them a more preferable range.
CWS005
A/B switch built for La Dispute.
CWS004
Boost pedal built with military grade metal film resistors and Sprague orange drop capacitors. This pedal was built for personal use and combines all of the elements of CWS001, CWS002, and CWS003 that I preferred for use in my own set up.
