KO-Thunderbolt finally done

Post by KindaFuzzy »

I've been fiddling with this one for a while now to get the tone right, and finally got it. Changed the input to Merlin Blencowe's bootstraped cathode follower and the tone got much better, not as raspy and brittle as the stock. Here's some pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35422385@N ... 501230736/

and some sound clips:

Those are very cool!

I like the idea of the ammo cans and that you can snap on the lide for easy transport.

Cathode LED's is a cool idea as well. :D

Thanks man, with the lid on they're pretty much indestructible, water resistant, and look cool too, at least to me. I'm a sucker for pretty lights too, especially when they're flashing like level indicators.
