What is the technique? Epoxy and glitter? Looks cool anyway.

[LaoWiz]

So awesome Laowiz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some really incredible stuff you got there man I might have to inquire about your services in the future

Thx mang!

Hello! Just found this board so thought I would share some of some of my builds and etches. Some really great stuff on here looking through the posts! Recognise a few users from DIYStompboxes on here too

Enclosures are etched using toner transfer and sodium hydroxide for the acid.

Tubescreamer for bass:


Fuzz Face w/ added boost circuit:


Meathead Deluxe:


Harmonic Percolator:


Phase 45:

Great aesthetics! Where do you get those knobs you have on the harmonic percolator? I have been searching for those for a while now

Thanks man, I got those ones from Maplin of all places!

I want this pedal more than anything. I wouldn't care what it did, it would be on my board forever.

Hello and welcome!


edit; Where are your gutshots dude? Don't hold out on us

[Hexjibber]

Haha, thanks for the welcome! I'm a big fan of the book so had to do a pedal that was somehow related to it!

Sorry, can post guts if you like, wasn't sure if people would be interested? They're mostly just cable spaghetti!

[MaxMaps]

wow stellar work!

[blackmass]

Fuzz Face with some mods.

I always want to see the guts of pedals, I feel like I learn something from every DIY build I see (for better or worse!)

By the way, what's the deal with having an external bias control on a phaser? My phase 45 only works in a fairly limited window, it certainly wouldn't be useful on mine

To be honest that's a question I asked myself once I added it but already had the box etched and drilled so kept it on there! Definitely a set and forget but didn't really think about that at the time!

Violet Ram's Head Muff with tweaks* I finished last night.

*added mid pot (from Hoof schem), 10uf tantalums on input and output (Pharoah), lowered limiting resistors to 5.1k for more gain (Supercollider), 3 x 2N5089 & 1 x MSPA18 (Pharoah/Supercollider). Tried messing around with various clipping diodes (LEDs/1N4001) but ended up reverting to stock. Also tried putting 2N1308's in Q2 & Q3 (Hoof), like the sound, nice and open more like an overdrive but can't decide whether I like them or the fuzzy saturated higher gain silicons, decisions!



Sorry for the blurry shot, it was late!

I take back my friendly welcome now I realise your posts are just going to make mine look like shit

Anyway, here's a Wampler Triple Wreck clone built without the boost section





This thing is pure nu-metal. I love it, I'm going to go start working on my rapping/ screaming.

Lots of super cool stuff on this page, guys!

Here's a Harmonic Percolator for Evan aka Skullservant



Includes the ubiquitous diode lift switch.

I got all dyslexic when labeling "VOL" and accidentally made it say "LOV" so threw an E at the end and we have "LOVE" yay

It puts some serious lovin on any amp

[skullservant]

Officer your wiring is something to envy. SO stoked on this
