This is 2nd Solar Sound Prototype #002 - One knob (gain) version on vero board.
The Solar Sound is a beautiful and uniquely impractical solar powered effect pedal from Mattoverse Electronics. Consisting of a simple transistor based gain circuit that has been finely tuned to take full advantage of the low current and voltage provided by the solar panel, it provides everything from starved and choked gain tones, to light overdrive, and smooth distortion.
It was designed for and works best when powered from a natural light source, through a window or outdoors, but can also be powered in lower light environments with a bright light source directed at the solar panel.
A bare aluminum enclosure, with a wood faceplate to which the solar panel is adhered.
Hardwire true bypass with control for gain.
