Here is a build i just finished up for a friend. It's a Hamlet delay with an external tone pot and a momentary slam switch for ramping oscillation. I also mounted a output volume trim pot to the base plate. Hope you guys like it!

Finally managed to finish a couple!

GGG Violet Rams Head Muff with mods:

Image

Led/Si and stock/open/short for both diode pairs, thin/fat switch, and mids mod. Tone bypass on the second stomp.

One cool thing I found that others might be interested in -- the enclosure came pre-drilled for a single stomp and I was having a hard time finding a bezel that would let me mount the bypass led in a hole that size. Digging around at Home Depot I found something called a "bonded washer" which works perfectly! Just had to use and exacto to remove a bit of the neoprene washer and hot-glue in place.

Image

Boss PS-3 with hi-cut and glitch (expression) mod:

Image

.47uf cap to ground on the blend pot to roll off highs on the wet signal. Glitch mod is a switch to connect the expression jack to the delay time pot. Stock expression only works in mode 11, but now I can use it in any mode, which is delightfully skittery on modes 1-3.

Not exactly what this thread is for but hey. You guys ever try to use the golden ratio in control layout? Here's a layout idea along those lines for a 1590B, using golden triangles and gnomons. The white space is approximately the inner face dimension of a 1590B. Grid is .1 inch.

Univox Superfuzz clone (from BYOC) with a couple mods: additional volume on tap and a simple voltage starve which give me some of those starved fuzz tones that are always so much fun. There's one spot on the starve knob where the guitar signal gates out pretty quick (or at least the low end of the fuzz) and you're just left with the octave that seems to actually increase in intensity for a bit before fading out. Really cool sounding. The starve would probably be useless without the additional volume but swapping out a couple resistors towards the end of the circuit gave me a big jump in overall volume. I compensated for it by adding in the volume attenuation ... although I've never wanted to turn DOWN my fuzz.

This was also my first try using a simple toner transfer with a laser print and an iron. It took five or six tries (different papers, different ironing techniques) to get it as good as it is. It definitely could have been better, but I got tired of ironing and just wanted to rock out.

That build is uncannily similar to a delay I did. Down to the trimmer on the back :lol: Too cool!
