Not an amazing picture as I snapped it quickly on my phone before bed last night but alas, this thing rocks.

That thing is nuts! Kind of tempted, but I bet wiring it was a nightmare.
Not that bad, me and the wires are good friends :) I built it 5 years ago when I began with electronic things.. In fact I have unboxed some diy pedals I had, and then put everything in this box, it is a prototype, just like a big pedal with several circuits inside. Perhaps it would be better to make a large single circuit and make it all cleaner, I can do it but.. since then I never had to open it other than to change a 3PDT footswitch. It has served me well .. :thumb: Once a guy offered me $600 and I refused! I have too many good memories in that thing! :hug:
That's an impressive build. I don't think I would've sold that for $600 either. There's lots of work there.

It's really no different setting them up to do one enclosure or a bunch. The pricing isn't very good for a single enclosure, though. They charge $20 to print a single box, but it goes down to $5 a box if you have four boxes with the same image. I did that for this one and just have a few extras that I can use in the future.

This is a miniaturized Mutron V. I used the same mods that Madbean came up with for his Kraken PCB.

Yeah not a problem man - I actually just flew back home (two states away) to use the studio for demoing songs and recording pedal samples so I'm glad I brought the Sonic Violence to demo.
The FAC just adds a world of control and colour.
Really happy with how it turned out.
Not sure if the production pedals will be etched or screen printed however! :cool:

That etch looks super rad.
Cool man, thanks! Looking forward to it.

By a FAC mod, do you mean changing the coupling cap with a rotary switch?

Well, considering that's exactly what an FAC is - yep! :lol:

I was not sure so I thought I would ask. I love your etch and the fonts you used. Look forward to an audio demo.

Here's a plug for Small Bear's Bare Box. The challenge was to design a PNP Fuzz Face, and use the Bare Box system to enclose it. I up'd the ante, and went for a Big Muff. I also added a boost control for the mids.

The circuit is a mix of Triangle, and Ram's Head values, plus some special values to please my ears. It really rocks. Transistors are BC550C.

Of course, no video, means it never existed, right? :lol:
