Plucked this off TGP in the big "pedal guts pic" thread. It's the Orion Custom Liquid B, according to the person who posted the pic.

Here's the marketing copy for this apparently divine wah:

Looks like silicon at top left. I was expecting an epoxy brick

Apparently, the LiquidB uses the Galactic Inductor:

And you can have one, too, for the low-low price of just $85.

Does that mean you can only get them from Orion or Darth Vader?

layout looks familiar.
Holy shit, you're totally right. Good eye!! :shock: :lol:

He said on TGP that he used to build and then shut down, and then just restarted. So maybe this is an old one? I sure hope so.

using an off-the-shelf PCB seems to be fairly common. i've noted this practice in quite a few of the "boutique designs" i've had the pleasure of dissecting. i guess its like using off-the-shelf parts? :scratch:

NOT. :slap:

Might as well post this here as well. Definitely a GGG wah board.

I mean, it's no big deal to me. I don't care. Use what works, I say. But don't pat yourself on the back about having everything custom-made and super mojo if you can't even do your own board.

That's pretty much the quality of work I was expecting to see.

I don't want to offend anyone. But I have to ask, why is it that so many "boutique" pedal builders have such a strong christian bent and feel they need to tell everyone about it? (with a badly designed web site) This is the one area where there seems to be a new person making a "new" pedal every month and along side it they feel the need to let everyone in on their religious beliefs. I have nothing against people believing what they want. But, I don't understand why your beliefs have anything to do with a wah pedal? What is it about electronics and music that brings this out of the woodwork? I'll take my answer off the air thanks you.

Because they are afraid that if they don't they will be stricken with the Curse of Lack.

Sadly it's not my design, it comes from RMC's site, but I'm thinking to adopt it to turretboard build soon :horsey:

I'll call it Big John Pi, oh my lord - that's fucking cool name for a pedal :twisted:
