Something Something Burtward

THE SOUND:

The "Something Something Burtward" is a pedal that emulates the tone of the Vox Conquerer amp that George Harrison used on songs featured prominently across the White Album ("Back In The USSR", "Helter Skelter", "Revolution #1" etc.) as well as others like “Lady Madonna” and “Hey Bulldog”.

It is a recreation of the classic and out of production White Pedal circuit -- minus the huge used market price tag to keep your wallet from gently weeping. 

DEMO:

Here's a demo of me playing a bunch of Beatles riffs through the SSBW on Youtube.

CONTROLS:

You get a VOLUME knob, a GAIN knob to control the fuzz, and two knobs for EQ (one for treble and one for bass). 

There is also an "ONO" three-way toggle that changes the mid-frequency response of the Wah Inductor.

THE NAME:

The name is a Simpsons reference.

It’s from the Be Sharps episode where they basically retell the story of the Beatles under the guise of a barbershop quartet. Homer is trying to write a song at the piano and sings “baby on board /something something Burtward”.

A reference to a reference for all the nerds.

THE BOX:

I custom silkscreened the enclosure. Black ink on a power-coated white 1590BB enclosure.
