Let's see your finished DIY projects!

I thought it was the Schumann PLL?

[mff]

Haha, yeah, it's the Schumann!!

I really like the Batman-thing, and the wire that goes "to center of sun".

[Scruffie]

I like the, "Take off shirt while wiring this part. Ooh, Yeah, I like that"

[Jero]

This is going to be awesome!

That is full of lulz

[nbabmf]

Wow. That schematic is going to be hard to follow up, but I'll do my best...

I went all out with this one.

It turns out that those vintage capacitors and carbon comp resistors add a shitload of "warmth" (noise) and "mojo" (noise), as compared to the test board I built which uses modern components and sockets to audition the transistors. It sounds AWESOME, and it's dead quiet when I'm not playing!


The enclosure was fabricated for the build by a friend of the gentleman I built the pedal for. It's made from beefy 1/16th inch steel. It was so hard to drill through haha...


Check out my highly refined, yet economical, apparatus that I used to set the enclosure up for finishing - my landlord and the neighbor both drink cheap beer, and the table saw was a throw-away from my girlfriend's dad's last spring cleaning.


Laser decals. Pew pew pew! Pew pew! Note the gold paint on my hand - that shit took days to come off.


The finished product. I can't tell you how happy I am with this. I almost wish I could keep it!


Yeah, I don't fuck around.

That is one clean Tone Bender build!

[nbabmf]

Oh, don't get me wrong - I love how it sounds, but I don't think many would. There's a lot of noise in the tone, even though it's quiet when you're not playing.

Speaking of pedals that sound like absolute shit, in a good way...

This is Big Black, a Harmonic Percolator clone.



It''s named after this band:

And it sounds just like it.

I want clips of that.

I'm going to try to get some clips of the Big Black tomorrow before I put it in the mail.

Also, I whipped up another TB. I'm liking this hammertone paint and laser decal thing!

My first pedal build: The Moody Fuzz DIY Kit.
The LED doesn't work, but I don't care. Sounds alright. I'm not overwhelmed by it though.



This is my first DIY project ever. I have her for like 3 years now. Built from scratch. All I bought was the tuners and the strings. Everything else is built by me. Without decent (meaning: electric) tools. But it was so much fun and I love it to death. It's also very versatile. You can make it sound like a crappy version of every stringed instrument you can think of. Right now I use it as a three-string Gu Qin since no decent ones are to be found in Germany.

Here's a sound clip of both things combined.

very cool...I played the reissue recently and it was a pretty cool pedal, intrested in what this one sounds like

[nbabmf]

I sent it off without recording clips. Oops.

You can clearly hear the guitar before the bass kicks in.

"Because your mom's busy."

Absolutely do NOT fuck with Albini.

So damn funny. And also, you feel like building another one of those?
