M-19FX MFF/KLN ‘Track Buster’
This modern-day stage explosive device is my FX version of a vintage reissue M-19 WWII land mine. The Track Buster. Made to be the companion of an SG that I refinished for my son in WWII style. He’s retired Army. Matches his jeep too. Basically what we have here is a big muff pi. Only this one is always pushed by a MKC3 klon, through a Paramix, with the send/return loop containing the MUFF’N and a blend pot able to add more pure MKC3. And with the use of the switchable II/IO loop, more MKC3 plus anything you want can be mixed in with the already klon-flavored MUFF’N. Boards from GuitarPCB. One foot switch, primed or active. When primed it’s dark but when active the lucite disk will begin to get a fiery but stealth orange/reddish glow. I decided to try to use fiber optics to light the disk with the aid of a red and an orange led and 8 strands of poly fiber optics and shrink boots. Brightness can be adjusted. Up to a point. Popped two reds trying (no safety resistor).
Once you crush the switch you are the baddest axe slinger in a large perimeter. Your enemies and fans will take notice. Not that it doesn’t have tone. The MKC has great tone and the treble knob has a ton of adjustment. I opted for the ultra mod which brings a smile and I split the two gains for separate clean and dirty gain adjustments. The MUFF’N loves it. I opted for most mods here. I put the diodes on a daughter board with the Roto Tone to help domineer every fuzzy situation. I went with the low pass and high pass tonal options and also tone bender option. Also I went with having the boundless Tone TwEq on an override switch but the stock tone still intact if chosen. That Tone TwEq has some punch to it. I got back-to-futured a couple times before I got it interfaced with the combo just right. Thought I was going to take shrapnel. I had to lower the gain resistor value. You’ll notice that I use TRS jacks to keep the number down. My led/fiber platform connects to the boards below using inactive solder pads and component trimmings.

Wow! Shut it all down, and turn out the lights. No one is going to top this one. This is the panty dropper of the century. But seriously, very nicely executed.

I think you might could have squeezed a couple more switches on there!

Seriously though, that looks awesome. Great job!
