Let's see your finished DIY projects!

[Invisible Man]

finished this pedal for my nemesis, outer two foot switches go to one 1/4" jack to change presets, middle goes to the other 1/4" and 1/8" jacks for tap tempo for the nemesis and my tremolo.

Read this as though you'd made a pedal for your nemesis (like your enemy). Was thinking that was mighty generous of you...

That verb enclosure looks great! You mentioned doing that with spray paint and other tools right?

Yeah, first I spray it black, then splatter paint with several different colors, let dry, cover with tape, cut out shapes, spray a bunch of colors on top of each other (like street artists that do those space paintings), lay crumpled up newspaper on top of it and lift up for the swirly-ish effect.

Very cool. Is it a vertical 1590dd?

Yep.
I did that mostly so I'd have room to screw up.

It's funny, it's a lot quieter than the Reverb Machine is supposed to be, apparently.
I'm gonna try building it without dwell knob next time to see how it differs.

Yeah that's what I thought it looked like, I really like it!

After BILF I'll post some other stuff I've made recently.

But this was pretty cool. I really like the arcade button in the freeze. I'm not sure that I would like it on a B3k, for example, but it fits well here.

I was just looking at a bunch of those buttons on Adafruit after looking at the bananana pedals, you don't feel like it's a little fragile?

[DRodriguez]

Arcade buttons are built to take a beating. You can abuse them pretty hard. The actual mechanism is super simple too, and if for whatever reason it breaks, it's really easy to replace it with a new one.

....yeah you right doh

[JonnyAngle]

It's plastic, but the actual switch can go lower than the outer housing so you'd need to literally shank it in order to break it

[cherler]

Oh cool, so if I stood on it like an asshole it would be fine. That's actually exactly what I was worried about haha

Yeah, I built a MIDI keyboard using arcade buttons I play (clumsily) with my feet which I've posted on here before. The buttons are by far the part I'm least likely to break. My neck, however...

Made this with Mike (flanagan0718 on here, who did the wiring).

[imJonWain]

Cleaned up the wiring inside my Laney AOR a bit, they are kind of a rats nest from the factory. I was surprised how much quieter the amp is now too, it always had a mild but audible constant hum with all the volumes off and now you have to be basically against the speaker to hear it. I also changed the reverb drive and recovery circuits a little bit so I get more of a fendery verb and less hiss but the tank still picks up wicked transformer hum unless I move it a foot or so away....Gotta figure out a plan for that still... I'm also thinking of adding a switch to bypass the effects loop/reverb section (the combos have a buffered effects loop unlike the heads and I ran it without the loop while I was doing the work and really liked the sound, it sounded more "open" and louder to me).

finished frag, 1/8 this time...makes rattles and has a spring..now to test on some peddalll&synthzz.
