kerosene!!!

[LaoWiz]

Thanks, dudes! I originally wanted to call the Kerosene, Atomizer instead of Kerosene but I think Kerosene looked better with that font. I kinda rushed that one as I had the board done for ages and just wanted to box it cause I had those enclosures. Don't really like the orange or the font so I'll probably end up stripping it and redoing since I only have a few of those wedgies and could do something a little better. The circuit is a weird one, too. Very subtle, more of any overdrive but has these weird artifacts that are distinct. I was kinda blah at first but it does sound good through a cranked amp. I think it may be a good one to keep around and see how it interacts with other pedals at various settings. I have a telecaster deluxe but need to get something with single coils. I bet this one sounds real good with single coils.

Would you mind letting me know where you get those slanted enclosures? They look similar to the ones at pedalenclosures.com but a little different..

Also, after I saw your rehouse of Jrmy's Buzzaround I went and ordered parts for a super mojo'd out tagboard Buzzaround. I'm really excited to build it!

I got the enclosures from Mac Walker at DIYstomp. They were about 5 bucks each and are the size of a Hammond BB but a little longer. I had to tap into the two pieces that form the enclosure to allow for the screws. I had never done this before but it was easy and something new learned. He's out of these enclosures but is interested in making more if there's interest. I contacted him about doing custom sizes and he's willing to work with you but you would need to give him dimensions and probably order a minimum to make it work his time. I usually make my stuff in bigger boxes and I want to sometime down the road get him to make me some of those boxes that look like the Rosac Nu Fuzz. Those just look so cool!

Mac's a cool guy! And if you're ever wanting to get rid of it dude, hit me up. I've been wanting a HP for a while now and would LOVE to see that on my board OH SHEET

Normally I don't post builds here, but these two are personal builds instead of commercial builds.

First up, a Phase 45 from Madbean's Smoothie. Sounds sweet with the vibe switch. Quasi-Univibe territory.



Next, a Mini Fuzz Face. First mini enclosure and it turned out pretty nice if I say so myself.

I commend you for the full size pots in the 1590a

[greyscales]

It was risky, but it wasn't as tight as I expected. At least not with those open frame jacks. They would never fit with enclosed jacks.

[skullservant]

oh helllll nah

[Rygot]

I got 3 full size pots, enclosed jacks, and an eyelet board in a mini once...

Maybe I should find that, because I'll never do it again.

Now you're just showing off.






But that's pretty badass.

Made me some wooden enclosures. They'll hold a nasty silicon distortion, fuzz, Jfet clean boost/buffer, and germanium Rangemaster clone.

how did you make those?? Are the routed from a single block?

Looks pretty cool

are you shielding the inside?

plywood tops and bottoms, middles made out of a jigsawed board.
Shielding tape all the way around the insides.

I wanted everyone who sees these on my pedalboard to know they're
something different, something that I made, and I'm terrible at
painting enclosures and such, so I figured the wood would be something
deliciously different from the majority of aluminum boxes out there.
