Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Nice. Did you try different LEDs ? It changes the response quite a bit. UV sounds cool as well as the blue.. pink was also neat

Props to Tom, I did a clone of his Phantom Octave (with a Parasit Studio relay bypass board). Not the cleanest build inside, but works and sounds good, a responsive and versatile octave fuzz.

Pre-painted enclosure (graphics tbd), Lego LED lens, side volume knob.

that's really smart. love the lego

[frodog]

Thanks! Legos are useful for many things..

BoS, I don't have pink or UV unfortunately, just a bunch of yellow 3mm and a mixed bag of Romanian 5mm LEDs. The white ones were cool, but as soon as I found a blue one I stuck with that. It's socketed though, so probably in the future I'll try others.

[BetterOffShred]

Awesome build dude, I definitely recommend trying a couple.

Just finished boxing the Inchindown, clone of the Ibanez EM5 Echo Machine. Digital, but has a certain warmth reminiscent of the old tape delays like the Echoplex.





I really really love this thing. You can get your Edge on in a hurry.

Wow, you REALLY can't tell a book by its cover with that one. Maybe print a photo of the pretty guts and stick it to the top?

Yeah... I gave up dressing up my boxes after my second build, which was like 10 years ago now. I found it tedious in the end. When the objective is sound, looks are a non-issue for me.

Good to see you back!

Ever made an attempt at the DE7?

Good to see you back!

Thanks man! Feels good to be on the right side of the grass.

Quick looks says that one of the main chips is unobtainium now. No point drawing it up if you can't fill all the holes.

I read that it has quite the cult though.

EDIT: Damn.... all the interweb hype convinced me.... I just bought one.

heres a couple Dual USB Midi Hosts i put together yesterday
someone over at the op1 forum hipped me to this concept
of simply connecting 2 host boards together, and they communicate brilliantly.
pretty much all the USB Host things i've found out there are all USB > DIN or way overkill so being able to go USB > USB is rad.
the best part is if u are looking for USB to DIN conversion,
u simply plug in a class compliant USB to DIN adapter on one end (i have a iconnect mio)
and viola! so its super flexible.
hooked up a 2500maH LIPO battery so its completely portable and its about the size of a cigarette pack
should give me 185 hours on one charge by my calculations

Another "plain brown wrapper". Mother Brain. Clone of the Lovetone Big Cheese. I'm using a combo of 2N2219, 2N2218A, and ECG123 transistors. An LM833 op amp. Absolutely virulent fuzz. Sorta like "Spirit in the Sky", but with more hair.

[BetterOffShred]

Big cheese is great there's a dude on YouTube who does a demo of it that goes by "fatback" damn it's tasty playing. I built mine in a 125B, it barely fit.

Looks great Dino

[Bret608]

Liking that Big Cheese too! Glad to see you back as well.

I may have found a use for some of the many LM833s I have around!

[MechaGodzilla]

"Mother brain" is a great name for a pedal
