To visually pair with Stephen’s Voidbreaker I designed the Saturus. It has a high gain distortion based of a Mesa Boogie. Not sure why but there’s a ringing in the tone that can’t figure out. But I like it and was proud to tackle it as my second diy pedal. It allowed me to have fun with the planet design and practice my water slide technique.

I tend to theme my guitar pedals and for this one I wanted to name it after one of our songs. Originally I wanted to feature the pedal in it but the timing didn’t work out. Inside is the PedalPCB version of the Life pedal from EQD. essentially it’s a modified Rat with a boost circuit and an octave doubler. Pretty heavy and doomy sound. Same thing I made the Voidbreaker with. Only difference is some of the diodes as I didn’t note what I built Stephen’s Voidbreaker with. The exterior was already powder coated in white so that my water slide decal would have the best contrast. The “Red Winter” is expressed with the red knob (clipping mode selector) high in the center, and a slender line running down to the three black dots (foot switches) which are the dammed. I’m very very happy with the aesthetic appointments of this pedal. It represents a lot of lessons learned on other builds. Notably, I had to reorder all the circuitry for this pedal since I couldn’t find out why it didn’t work on the first build.

Continuing the theme of the Voidbreaker and Saturus, the Final Beacon is a delay pedal. Like a last call that continues from the outer edge of space to its final destination. I had this pedal designed years before I got around to making it. It wasn’t hard, just taping off the spray lines and carefully adding the water slide decal.
