The BIG, actually YUUUUGE, BigNoise garage sale is on!
I am in the process of upgrading and expanding my workshop, exciting news!
So there’s a hieve of activity and a LOT to sort through, guitar players rejoice! This means I will have some goodies for sale at rock bottom prices, beautiful sonic things that are one offs, for testing and R&D and will be great for your personal R&R!
New Zealand customers: high alert to check out my Trade Me listings and one dollar auctions as I’m sifting through the shelves and find appliances that I thought I never might sell because they are just too unique, too funky, too good or simply misunderstood by the world out there!
What a chance for all of us, me clearing space and raising money for workshop upgrade, you guys grabbing the bargains.
Win win win…
Contact me for more details and more photos, twist my arm for what else might come, ask me for custom orders with custom prices matching the occasion.
Keep checking back on this page as I will update it over the coming weeks. New goodies will show, other will be gone gone gone.
Here’s the first bargain to grab, listed on Trade Me for NZ customers only (because overseas shipping is too expensive for these one dollar starting auctions, sorry).
Work alike of the legendary and rare Peal OD-5 overdrive built on an AionFX board with relay true bypass. Unique switl pattern acrylic paint case, top mounted jacks.

5 circuits in one box, drive and boost heaven!
Here’s the first bargain to grab, NZ customers only (because overseas shipping is too expensive for these one dollar starting auctions, sorry).
I built this for testing and comparison purpose and to have a bunch of fun with myself! So it is well tested and served a lot of R&D, time to pass it on to someone looking for the ultimate drive assembly super charged:
all the way left we have first a ROG Peppermill boost, into a modified tubescreamer type circuit with switchable voicing and clipping diodes (monster!), into a unique adaptation of a circuit emulating the might Marshall SuperLead amps, cranking!
Not stopping there the ‘Dumble’ is a ROG Umble circuit, you know what it aims for, and then to round it off a Zedrive workalike. Legendary. Did I mention there’s a switchable bypassable Klon buffer at the front to avoid any tone losses in chain? Yes there is.
Contact me with an offer, first in first served with a price that I can’t refuse. Easy.

Three working circuit boards fully populated and tested for your DIY junkies! I get ya!
Here’s the first bargain to grab, NZ customers only (because overseas shipping is too expensive for these one dollar starting auctions, sorry).
Three fully functioning and tested circuit boards that I just didn’t get around boxing up myself. Workalike and tweaked Demeter compressor with VTL 5C10 optocoppler which already is worth ten bucks or so itself. Then there’s a workalike of Zvex Super Duper 2 in 1 (basically two cascading SHO boosters) and a silicon Fuzz Face built on a Madbean Hipster board. Ripping! Your turn!

Honey Pie Overdrive (SOLD but can be made to order)
The Honey Pie compares to the Vemuram Jan Ray overdrive that has some real insider following.
This one off has as extras a clipping switch and an internal charge pump circuitry. This allows to go from the 9V to 18 volt for more headroom and punch, at the flick of a switch (please only use quality 9V stompbox power supply).
This is a brand new one off build, so grab it while you can, it’s advertised elsewhere as well (Reverb or Trade Me).
NZ $ 199 including free courier shipping within NZ.
For overseas orders:
US $ 140 approx please check with current exchange rate, please contact. Shipping for overseas extra on top depending on location.

Gear Box Overdrive
The Gearbox Overdrive compares to the Fulltone Fulldrive mini overdrive, the small box version without extra boost. Unlike the original it has extra tweakability with a clipping switch to fine tune the sound.
Acrylic face plate over laser printed decal, fine sanded aluminum enclosure. True bypass switching via relay system, built on a pedalpcb.com circuit board.
This is a brand new one off build, so grab it while you can. There will be only one around like this, so once I’m famous (cough cough…) and this is all vintage gear it will be worth mega bucks. 😉
It’s advertised elsewhere as well (Reverb or Trade Me).

Soul Bender Fuzz
The custom designed Soulbender Fuzz is based onto the Fulltone Soulbender and related Tonebender Fuzz variants. Features three Germanium transistors in a spot on gain range.
Apart from the usual volume, tone, fuzz controls it has a sensitivity control that works similar to dialing back your guitar vol pot, increasing touch sensitivity and taming the sound if you want.
And the fat knob adds extra low end when CW or tightens the sound CCW, very useful depending on your guitar and amp combination to get the sound full but not too flubby.
Acrylic face plate over laser printed decal, fine sanded aluminum enclosure. True bypass switching via relay system, built on a BigNoise amplification designed circuit board.

Double Plexi Deluxe (SOLD but can be made to order)
Another one of the shelf custom designs effects prototypes:
Double Plexi Deluxe is two totally independent circuits select-able in one box. They compare to the Lovepedal Purple Plexi in the upper row of controls (select switch up), searing hot British lead tones.
Switch down and you have the more crunchy slightly lower gain and master of British crunch rhythm: compare to the Lovepedal Jubilee.
