I present to you my friends last perverse fantasy musical painting. Some time ago, eager to experiment with new sounds or at least sounds new, bought on the Internet virtually a closed box behringer vintage distortion (read a guitar pedal economic, imitation of another expensive, to make the much-loved rock and roll). I knew it could not require a great pedal but it was useless to the squeamish, so do not know how to play the guitar anyway. Time 12 agreements and a half I realized that even though my skills were perfectly proportionate if not lower the quality of the pedal, my hearing was a valuable and what emerged from the amplifier did not like. Was not for me, too dry, too much fuzz (read frffrfprr fuzzzzz grrrr, in short, is an onomatopoeia), and I have relegated to the second shelf of the cabinet where you useless pile unnecessary things. The days go by, I become a nerd dell'effettistica without knowing how to use and I run into the magical world of effects autocostuiti: sounds good (depends on the capacity of the manufacturer ovviamnete), have fun and to think and realize they too cool, it never hurts! Get Started with the idea of \u200b\u200bmodifying the behringer, I have no idea how, I have no idea why. I document and Google tells me that a simple change of capacitors can already do great things, but I unscrew six screws there are two micro circuitini presampati Chinese and my father (he is the one who understands us) tells me that you can not change a damn if not with precision instruments, which are not available. Project blocked but in the meantime, let's see which is good revisionatina ever: control signal and bypass the oscilloscope, cleaning of pots that a po'grattavano etc etc.. 
Speaking of dreams gone up in smoke with Mark, who always supports my utopian nonsense, I am aware that you want to dispose of an old heavy overdrive Coron given to him by a neighbor, stuff out of production 2 days after the mass market in 80 years. The sound too is not satisfied and the pedal is also one of the defendants in the proceedings on the burglary of his poor amp. Dell'overdrive gladly will I get and I decided to try to build a hybrid, a pedal overdrive / distortion, modeled on some new bosses, where the sound is driven incattivito from overdrive and then by the distortion. With the help of my parents handyman work began. The input of the original pedal was sent sull'ovedrive, the signal then goes out and enters the distortion that is in cascade, the activation switch creates a problem because the switch works with a behringer coron attravarso the mind of a button. With a little ingenuity mechanical, some welding and silicon are combined behringer keeping the button to activate. The latter was then moved sideways to make room for adjustments dell'overdrive that the conformation of the pre-coron are necessarily made Sinista, the original hole covered with strips of plastic (cut out from the compartment Battery distortion) drilled to accommodate the additional control light. The chassis of the pedal has been cut in some strategic points to accommodate the circuitry. Fine. Nothing but the sound that has gained more presence and harmonics. The great work comes from distortion overdrive but because you can smooth the peaks of the wave or quadratizzarli for more precise adjustments and that meet the various needs 
. Added to this is a great opportunity to dose overdrive and distortion like to experience a myriad of adjustments (7 manettino in fact they are a little too!). The pedal is transparent, true bypass and it works, only sin can not be powered with batteries (but I never question it) and needs a power supply that does not push if the classic annoying noise when inserted. Of course not not even come close to the quality of a Rat, a Muff or Boss OS which is inspired, but at least I spent my time in the construction of individual pedals and sounds better from where I started. Found that I sanded everything is working as a coat of yellow, polka dot design with acrylic (not seen in the photo because they are the same shade of yellow underneath, only opaque), a name given to the various controls just not forget about me, some decorations designed and finished with clear matt. Under the manettino dell'overdrive I applied the old cover Coron cut earlier in order to camouflage some hole did not allow the pots to move, I remounted the famous 6 screws and some washers and finally satisfied after watching the SUPER CHEESE I rushed to take up the guitar and to disturb the neighbors.
