^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.

Looks good, I like the graphic

sho clone made using this layout(vero)

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.

Looks rad!!!
