Let's see your finished DIY projects!

[stripes]

well i've got a full can of paint and pedals to make!

I'm diggin the itsagirl pink AB box.

It would pair nicely with my itsaboy blue tube screamer and verb.

I know right... best colorz ever. I actually have a powder blue guy coming in the mail.

Baby shower pedal party.

What are you putting in the blue one?

I'm gonna have to make something in pink but I'm not sure what

[stripes]

the blue one will be a madbean trem that i'm doing for a friend. i will definitally get another one to make something for myself, though. really want to do the lofomofo:

Ahh you just gave me an idea. I've been wanting to do an EA trem so maybe I'll get a pink enclosure for that

I have all the parts to make a lofomofo already but I just looked up a clip and it sounds like really bad to me. What do you want it for?

[stripes]

Yes! Tremolo goodness.

Whenever I hear a new pedal, the first application that I think about is how I could use it in the studio. The Lofomofo does SORT OF what I use the sparkle motion for in a live setting (just in a more extreme way, i.e. good for the studio). I have a couple songs where I play the intro with the SM on sounding really thin and nasally, then the second or third time around the intro progression I turn it off and the sound gets really full again. I would use the lofomofo a lot in the studio, mainly for intros/outros/breaks in the "normal" dynamic of the song. I like playing around with weird (some say bad) sounds, and adding them into recordings underneath the main "good" and "clean" sounding track. I'm working on a song right now where I sing a vocal track into the plastic microphone of a reel to reel from the 50s and mic the tube amp inside it with a warm condensor mic.

I don't know... I feel like I can adapt to use just about any decent fuzz pedal to play live or track with, but getting kind of bad sounding pedals is what's fun, cause they can be applied, I think, it just takes a little bit different of an approach I guess. I think that's what I like the most about building; you can make pedals that you wouldn't necessarily spend money on, but can possibly find a use for, and justifying the build cost is easy.

Almost finished the board layout on the delay I've been working on. I recorded some stuff of my proto board which I should get around to posting too.. anyway.



7 Pots - Delay, Subdivision, Mod Speed, Mod Depth, Feedback, Mix and Volume.
FX loop for wet signal.
Expression pedal on either delay time / feedback.
2x Momentary switches, One for tap tempo, and you can hold it for self oscillation. The other i'm not sure what to do with yet but i'm sure I'll think of something .

I'll be amazed if this all works

[mathias]

oh wow

WANT. HARD. JESUS

It would be pretty tight if the other momentary like ramped up the modulation depth or rate
