Jero you've inspired me. I have to make a Fuzzrite. How do you like it?

NIce, how'd you print it in white? Did you screen print it?

Yeah, if you go back to page 108 I posted the screenprinting jig I built to print it.

That print turned out great Travis! The fuzzrite is cool. Maybe not something to use all the time. It's the second one I've built...think I'm going to try out a germanium version some time.

I was really fascinated at first, and then it got old quick.

I think a germanium is the route I'm taking next as well.

Your pedals look so clean. Do you usually just do dirt pedals?
Also have been scouting this thread hoping to see my Bit pop up. Anticipation :)*

For the most part that's what I've done, but I have made a few non dirt pedals.

Next on my list is a few vintage style trems and maybe a few other non dirt circuits.

Would the trem be a clone?

Yes, basically I'm building a bunch of clones of different types of circuits to see what I like and don't like and then I'm going to *eventually* come out with my take on them.

For the trems I'm definitely making an EA Trem, Kay Trem, Tremulus Lune, and Vox Repeat Trem

It's actually pretty easy to do.

This place has the clamps, and even micro-tuners if needed (for multi color jobs):
http://www.knight-mfg.com/accessory_items

This place has really affordable screens, and squeeges (great service, and super quality):
http://www.rhinotoughgraphics.com/index.htm

I got my ink and emulsion from this place (maybe not the cheapest, but an easy one stop shop):
http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/

This ink is pretty pricy, but super durable. I bet you guys could buy a can, and split it up pretty easily.

Just get a thick piece of glass, and powerful 500w halogen ($14 at Harbor Freight), some plywood to build your platen (I'd do a couple for the different size enclosures).

The process isn't too complicated, especially if you guys are savvy enough to learn something like soldering and circuits. Look up youtees on youtube. He's selling his equipment (which is geared towards shirts), but he's SUPER thorough (and super boring, lol). So you can get a good understanding of what he's working with.
