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

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

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

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

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

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

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. The

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. From this starting point, CWS016 is able to reduce (or

I have a habit of tearing apart and rearranging my pedal board for just about every tour that I go on. Earlier this year, I had switched the entire board over to a 6-channel true bypass strip and ran all

CWS008

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
