The Nautilus (Brassmaster)




This is a Brassmaster kit I built from General Guitar Gadgets. It's a clone of the Maestro Brassmaster that Chris Squire used with Yes.

It's probably the most complex effect I've built so far. There was a slew of off board wiring, but fortunately GGG broke the instructions down into four different sections.

This isn't built in the case GGG included but rather a 1790NS.

Sound-wise, the pedal makes my bass sound huge, from a nice chunking fuzzy distortion, to a really metallic sound. The Brassmaster even has a mix between the clean bass sound and the distorted sound, an important feature for bassists.
