I TOTALLY WOULD! Except for the fact that I have no experience with electronics. I will buy a Gristleizer from you one day if you make it available to me!

Re: Let's see your finished DIY projects!
BYOC "E.S.V."clone of a vintage MKII Tone Bender. I made a lot of changes and every one of them made it worse, so I put most of it back to stock. NOS Mullard OC75's. I had to put a much larger trimpot in there to achieve 4.5V bias on Q3. I believe it was a 50K.

Re: Let's see your finished DIY projects!
here are my last couple builds:
synthy fuzz pedal with duty cycle controls.
distortion with knob to adjust the amount of diode clipping.
the next pedal will probably just be a treble booster. i think i'll put a picture of captain picard on it.

(ToneBender Clone)
I did that enclosure. It was plain aluminum like all BYOC kits.
I really worked it. Searched for days for that font and never found a match.
I ended up finding a face shot online of a clean ToneBender and hand traced the lettering in CorelDraw for ages and used that to make up a design that I printed on waterslide decal paper.
Handy tip: If you print on a laser printer like I did, you have to spray a layer of clear on first before you soak it in water.
If you don't, you get something like alphabet soup where each letter floats off individually and swims around in the water and you have a blank decal.
It was really funny but really disappointing!
I figured it out the second time around.
