Let's see your finished DIY projects!

[Zack AKA Moose]

I have no idea if this question should be posted here, but oh well....how do i start building my own pedals? What do i need? what are the initial cost? what should i learn about/read before building? I can't find a pedal with the tone, depth, etc that i want, so i want to build my own. Send me a PM or email if you can help me. email= simmons_zack@ymail.com

Thanks

Did you record yourself painting these so we can know how come they're so damn pristine?

Also, if I had any money, I would put it to this.

Damnit, your paintjobs are always the best. I like the lo-fi timbre, though that second clip is insane. Feedback at it's finest.

I totally need to use your vibrato more. You can never have a guitar be too dark and seasick-sounding.

clear epoxy resin (the stuff where you mix two of)
one single, thick, syrupy coat!
no polishing necissary, it just looks like that when hard.

Nice slab of marble. But what is it?

[multi_s]

its just a simple ring mod. some pretty good tones came out at the end of this clip (same pedal, prior to paint job).

Dual 40106 dual oscillator.



Having a lot of fun with this through a TBD with a DD3 in the loop. The TBD is also my first Ilovefuzz pedal.

This is a BYOC analog chorus. One of the older-style kits. The new ones look a bit different.

I've been scratch building so long, I almost forgot how much fun it is to build from a complete kit. I did opt for a pair of mono enclosed jacks instead of the kit jacks.

Sounds pretty damn good.

The finish is Duplicolor MetalCast Ground Coat, then some MetalCast Blue, and finally a very light top coat of clear. Then I ink-stamped the control lettering and other decoration. There is a nice bit of deep sparkle from the Ground Coat, but it's hard to see in the photos.
