Anyone wanna build me custom Uglyface?

Post by Bellyheart »

I've been wanting one for awhile. Since I got that Pox. I don't imagine it'd be too hard, but I want a LFO and a few other things that I'm not sure how to go about.

Let's talk

I built one of these as my second pedal. It's a great effect but I dismantled it for parts. The musicpcb one looks good but I don't think it has the LFO option. That info can be found at diystompboxes along with other mods. I remember mine was unbearably loud. Like the
volume pot was more like an on/off switch. Total silence to pure mayhem. I really only liked it at one of the more subtle settings which was a really great rocking sound.

well if you did it on strip you would just use the jimi photon layout. do a pcb with good documentation for your first project. do a smaller strip project before you do a big one.

Taylor's musicpcb site is now offering boards. If you want to build it yourself that's another option. He always has good
instructions for the builds.

Ye, I was kinda gonna have someone else do this, but I just read up on vero boards and understand them mostly and can ask the questions I need to after, although, I'm sure I'll get it. I'd do that musicpcb jammer, but I really want an LFO. I have a Pox from Exploding Head FX and it's definitely just an Uglyface, but I want the LFO feature.

yeah, not too tough to tack on an LFO aside from some annoying extra wiring.

I would rather do it all on strip than pay for a pcb and make a daughterboard on strip.
