Let's see your finished DIY projects!

[Jero]

Too many things to comment on...Donovan (glad someone noticed the faces) and the rest of you guys, thanks! At the end of the of the day, I build these cause it's what I enjoy, but seeing other's enjoy them is

Fuzzmax, those finishes are great! I love the aesthetic; Reminds me of the old short run dwarfcraft boxes.

deets on the muff!!!

from left to right...
Knobs: Vol, Tone, Mid, Sus. The madbean boards come with a mid spot.
Toggles: normal/low gain mode (socketed, so it could actually be tailored how you want), ma856/none/1n34a, ma856/1n4001
Stomp: feedback, bypass
I also socketed the transistors, but have 4 2n5088's in there right now. All close to 700hfe, with the last one being 600. Going to see what it sounds like with lower gain bc109's. Honestly, I was going to toss this right into bst, but I might hang onto it. Sounds killer with guitar & bass.

Damn jero. Those guts are beautiful. And those knobs.. It looks like you used the madbean muff pcb. Those pcbs rock.
Here's my ptp Soda Meiser with chaos switch.

Sorry my wiring is a bit ugly on this.. I wired it late at night when I couldn't sleep and I didn't make it too purty.. But it sounds fucking rad.
This thing is actually totally ilf. I got the turret from jero, the caps from stupiddream88, the 2N2907A and a resistor from rattler420, box n hardware n shit from mammoth..

I did use the madbean pcb! They're quite nice. Ordered two of them for different projects, but am going a different route with one, so I had an extra. You're SM looks badass, I love those caps and the metal can tran....but wait a second, why no front shot bud?

i didn't know where to put this, but as it's pure diy, i'll put it here. my switchcraft keychain:

Hly sht you just gave me an idea.

Very nice. Nice colors, knobs and wiring! Good work there.

[Officer Bukowski]

Jero - Thanks! The front isn't really anything special. No graphics or anything.


I have another one of those muff pcbs too. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Your diode switching seems pretty interesting.

This picture shows the colors a bit better.

I got the enclosure from PPP, the color is reptile. I got a batch of various color boxes from them to see which ones I was going to eventually stick with, and that's certainly one of them. The control plates were just a lucky find. I bought a lot of nos knobs, and there were a few things like that in there. Might try to get those made. If you look close enough at the board, you can see I actually put two together to make that one...my new turret supplies & NOS parts need to hurry up and get here. I had everything I needed to do that all NOS, but 1 freaking resistor.

Dude, just go all Pollock on that shiz. Would look so cool. I recommend the diode switches for the muff. Having the diodes out of the first section changes things a lot. Originally I was using 1n60's in place of the 1n4001's but they with the 1n34s just didn't cut it. Now there's lots of great sounds. I also forgot to mention, the volume pot has detents, so it stays in place.

[Officer Bukowski]

"target, beam, stability".. Those are rad names for controls haha. Especially "beam".

I was thinking of screenprinting something on there but I have to make another jig to print on 1590bbs first. So now I'm thinking a somewhat crude looking spray painted stencil kinda thing would look cool. I just need to come up with a cool image and I'll try that.

I socketed my diodes and transistors in my muff. I want to try some different diodes in it but I've been too lazy/busy.

[LaoWiz]

Looks look sweet!

[the Life Aquatic]

those knobs look like firemans hats haha

I am new here. found the site/forum because I need info about the Earthquaker Grand Orbiter.
but it seems a nice place here, so I will post my first message here with my new project:

a wah wah pedal . a very simple circuit from an old music magazine, but I made it possible to change the range, freq.bandwide and frequency-points with switches and knobs.
looks impressive but it;s very simple....but:
very handy to get a funky sound , thin or thicker..or a big sweep for soloing...and nice to find the best sound for different guitars/basguitars...playing styles.

still in test-fase...........

I am from the Netherlands, Amsterdam

So wait, that is a wah and you have it modded so that whole box with switches and knobs controls different parameters of the effect? That's pretty cool.

[Jero]

Finished these last night. Protoboard and Fatpants (EP Boost).
The fatpants board came from madbean, and the switch pcb came from mammoth.

[LaoWiz]

Shit is looking ripe, Jero!

[multi_s]

the proto board looks amazing!

[BlindtoFaith]

Let me get dat SG body!

[Jero]

Let me get dat SG body!

Not an SG, and trust me, you don't want it. Beat up plywood 60's kay bass body.
