Do you have to shield the hell out of that enclosure? If so, what's your preferred method?

I would guess he was being serious! He was giving you a compliment. By strip tease he means lets see some guts!

Nieh--No offense meant, man--I really like it--was just bein' playful 'bout askin' to see a shot of the innards--just curious--mainly lookin' for inspiration to fuel my currently baby-steppin' DIY development. BTW, thanks BlindtoFaith.

Very simple fuzz pedal. I used a switch instead of a knob to control the amount of gain so I could get the bare minimum of gain to the most, where as all the pot values I tried kept it somewhere in the middle. Up is kind of a volume boost/fuzzy overdrive. Down is a very thick bassy fuzz.

Fourth built, this one went fast, guess I'm getting better at troubleshooting! It's a mxr microamp clone with small alterations to the amplification and an added toneknob. Custom built for a guitarist in one of my bands 'atlantis'. Graphics took me a while, a picture log about the art can be found on my facebook page facebook.com/husc.sound .
