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.
CWS068-078
Batch of 10+1 OAM Panorama boosts.
TW001-TW004 - Third Wave Boost
The Third Wave boost is a version of the OAM Panorama which is set with the bass switch down for a flat response. This will work great for most people in most situations but if you want less bass you can go in and clip the gold capacitor for the original Panorama specs.
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.
CWS039 - Transistor test pedal
This pedal was built in the same format as the OAM Panorama but included external transistor sockets so that I could easily test transistors before putting them in other pedals.
CWS028-038
Batch of 10 OAM Panorama clean boosts with various finishes and options. This was the first production run of these pedals, and they were made after La Dispute's European tour was cancelled due to the pandemic. I was exploring various ways of finishing the pedals, including hand sanding, scraping, and stamping.
CWS027 - OAM Panorama
This pedal was made for producer Will Yip to commemorate the making of the La Dispute album Panorama, which was released on March 22, 2019. The circuit was based on CWS008 which was used on nearly every guitar part on the record.
CWS026
For this boost pedal I was starting to consider different ways of arranging components, and seeing which methods took more or less time to build, or more importantly-- were more enjoyable to build.
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).
CWS021 - Boost Preamp
Dual footswitch boost with tone bypass. The right switch acts as the master bypass for the effect, while the left switch adds in the tone control for an additional boost. This pedal is used by Vicente Elizondo as a preamp for guitar, going straight into a Tascam 414 cassette recorder. A quick adjustment of the tone control on the left can easily differentiate between warm rhythm tracks and brighter lead tracks while layering onto the 4-track.
CWS020 - PTP Boost
This pedal was my first attempt at building something point to point on turret strip. I started making this boost without a plan or a diagram, and was pretty amazed at how nicely everything fit together. Sprague Orange Drop capacitors and mil-spec metal film resistors were used throughout, and their larger size worked well in spanning the distances necessary to make as few connections and use as little wire as possible
CWS017-019
These three pedals were built as refinement to the concept in CWS016. The main circuit is the same as found in CWS008, with the addition of a switch that controls a large or small boost in the bass frequencies.
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.
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.
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.
CWS003
This is a dual JFET boost, using the mu-amp/minibooster circuit. The controls for this pedal are—a 2-way gain switch, volume knob, tone knob, and a 3-way bass switch.
