Let's see your finished DIY projects!

starts out with acoustic, then goes to electric. I just used some loops so I could be hands on with the pedal.

HO LEE SHIT. How much man?

Form an orderly queue, lads.

So you did some mods to that kit or is it completely original?

[eniacmike]

it is stock to the project.. although it is not a kit.. I don't think they sell kits for that project as far as I know. I etched the board and sourced the parts myself.

I tried a few mods but didn't end up implementing them. Mainly tried a voltage divider network before the holtek to lower input but it was too quiet so I just left it stock.
I really don't want to make another one. That layout is pretty ugly and I think there is probably a better way to do it. Maybe once the DBA robot gets reversed there will be a little more insight into making that chip sound better.

The boards for that project have been discontinued. Who knows when/if they'll ever make more .

[eniacmike]

Etch your own! I was really scared to do it but it is pretty easy and cheap. Etchant is $10, copper clad ~$5, drill bit ~$1, dremel chuck ~$5.

I use the magazine paper laser printer toner transfer method.

Just finished up a custom Mojo Rat for sevensharpnine.






Here's a closeup of the finish so you can see the very faint sparkly thingies:







And here are the guts. I think it came out fairly neat. I'm going to add a dab of liquid electrical tape to the LED resistor junction, but otherwise, she's done.

Did you wire up the pots from underneath? that is really clean.


this is a 4 knob bass rat (upped the input cap to 470nf) with mosfet clippers. I am going to rat crazy lately. Mammoth electronics has lm308's for $3. I think the next one I make I want to do the landgraff mod.

wow..every lead has shrink tubing.
nice

I am obsessed with heat shrink tubing. It is like popping bubble wrap for me. But also for practical reasons 95% of my debugging problems used to be things shorting out especially pots to case, and power to case. So now every solder joint has a mechanical connection, and electrical connection, and insulation. Ironically I still use open frame jacks, but I got a huge lot of them for a great price, eventually I will switch to closed jacks.. or not.

Yes. I've been doing that lately because it looks much cleaner.

I'm about to build another Rat for me, now. (but not before I finish a Hot Cake for hazelwould).

How much do you charge for a Hotcake? One of my wish list pedals.

Cannot wait for my CE2 clone Mike!!!!! If it is half as awesome as any of the 4 pedals I have bought from you I will be a happy lad.

foxx tone machine based octave up fuzz. hal9000/monolith inspired look.I used madbean's wolfshirt layout. 10mm giant led. Clif 125b enclosure.
