Can't be said enough, but Sonic Crayon has the best freakin artwork and aesthetics on top of some original/different designs/circuits.

When I started making pedals I was inspired by the DBA look and the look of older vintage pedals. While I wanted to make myself cool looking pedals I was also equally interested in building circuits. Lately, my new job has sucked away all my pedal time. I probably do pedal work 1 day a week now for a few hours. But I still want to put out some small batches of things and after being on the computer all day at the real job I'm too burnt on working in photoshop during my few hours of free time everyday. I may get in touch as it would be great to have someone help me with some graphic ideas as I love soldering boards more. For me its hard to get into that head space of graphic design these days more than ever. Its always is bad except for those few nights that come around and I just sit and do it. I think the idea of doing it is worse than actually doing it. I'm just lazy sometimes so it would be great to do a back and forth.

I guess this could have been a PM!


Dude, you are the reason I found this forum man! I stumbled across a picture of one of your pedals, we do have a similar style, it really inspired me, and led me here :)


Awesome, man. Keep them coming.

I plan on it :). I also have a really cool idea for an enclosure for a supersonic fuzz gun inspired pedal if anyone is interested in helping with the circuit ;)

That Echo Generator box looks killer! DBA stuff does look pretty rad.

Here's a fuzz/booster I finished last night:

Finished the second Multiplex enclosure (aside from drilling).

ALSO, just finished two tap tremolo enclosures for someone on another forum that took me up on the labor trade (enclosures for circuits) :) They are done in the similar, somewhat distressed style of the multiplex. The tempo led will be at the end of the ekg pulse line ;)

Looking for other pedal trades too! If interested, in a labor trade let me know :) I have a cool idea for a fuzz enclosure too, but really looking for something similar to a red witch fuzz god for that (I used to have one that I loved).

First true diy project, no kits or detailed instruction involved:

My cool cat fuzz (see: peachfuzz) had a busted switch, so I decided to give it a new home while I was fixing it up.

EDIT:
Requisite gut shot
I find the masking tape shield adds a little presence to the treble frequencies that electrical tape just doesn't have

Ok so got a weird LED issue with my recent rehouse of a Mountainking Heavy Machine. So I use a Pedal Power Plus on my board and for whatever reason, the LED will not power on? When I plug a One Spot into it, it's fine. What could be causing that? I've never encountered this before.

Does the effect turn on? Anything else being powered at the same time? Have you tried other spots on the power supply?

Ok so yes the effect turns on. I didn't notice before but the led works with a patch cable in the output but not when it's in the input? Could it be a grounding issue somehow? So weird.

Interesting.. Do you have one on those input jack that breaks and makes connections when you plug in the jack? is the jack grounding out somehow? I had a jack that looked totally fine, looked like it made a strong connection but if you messed with the cable it would ground out to the chassis through some sort of elven magic. Multimeter time!

UGH. hahaha. I guess it is that time.

I do think I know the reason for it grounding. I think. I'll find out later today. hahaha.
