Let's see your finished DIY projects!

^Your stuff always looks nice, man. I'm fairly jealous.


Meathead:





Still need to get some knobs and trannies to play around with.


Also, I probably need to get some knobs and different transistors for this thing.

Not very impressive but I'm happy, my first working DIY build. Single Bypass Loop. My first was a BYOC Slowgear clone that just completely died somehow.

As you may see, I drilled holes without looking properly so had to move stuff, and use the large label to cover those original holes but I think it worked out well.
I also wired the LED the wrong way round and couldn't figure out what I'd done, but I have now.

fun and easy build.
also really happy with what it does for my guitar signal
even at low settings.

New guy here, but since this is a fuzz forum and I built up a couple last night, I thought I'd share. This is my take on the classic tonebender circuit, with some changes, and put into a one-knob form (so fuzz is pegged at all times). I built up two tonight - I think they look good and sound good so I'm pretty pleased:

Nice work, Rob!!

Man you are on fire lately. What's that, like 10 pedals in about 3 weeks?

Thanks. 10? Yeah - something like that! Actually you haven't seen them all . . . there's been like three tremolos, some envelope filtering stuff, some octave experimentation . . . I'm only sharing the ones I take the time to make look decent . . . ugh - I need a life!

Hey is this that one you put up on CW the other day? I dig the finish.

Thanks. No - this one is different, it's missing the third gain stage and the tone control of the other . . . you'll see me pouring out variations of these left and right in the near future as I look for various sounds . . .

Oh yeah - I made up a quick and dirty demo - sorry to any good guitarists who would be offended by my playing: http://www.pedalbuilder.com/?p=597

Happy Halloween!

Not quite what I had hoped...the epoxy is really bubbly and it messed up a little when I drilled the hole for the switch, but I'm happy none the less. Left the leads quite a bit longer than I normally would have, so it's a little sloppy on the inside.

that is awesome! nice mojo. is the side mounted pot a bias control? I like that pot, really cool looking.

I like it! What is the first transistor in there?

As for bubbly epoxy and whatnot . . . I never cared much for the perfect and glossy enclosure (I took a screwdriver to the top of my last build (see pics above)), I think it gives them some character when accidents happen and we roll with it. Doesn't make it sound any better or worse, does it?

Man, that looks awesome! the I love fuzz font is great looking. where did you find those cool old Maestro style knobs???

Yeah, it's the Deluxe, and I should probably stop with the Futurama things. Lolz.


Yours looks good, man. The bubbles may actually make it look a bit nicer, less bland. That one cap in there does stand out a bit.


^And I got some of those knobs at a local store here, now I keep seeing them around, like on the SSBS stuff and such.

[BlindtoFaith]

Looks rad!!!
