A few recent builds.

Maxon OD808RI (sounds awesome - first tubescreamer-type build):



Dwarfcraft devices devil robot (w/ master volume):




Hermida Zendrive (terrible picture, and a bit of the detail was lost due to how dark the box was):

Super gnarly triple killswitch for the end of my chain. Using it to mute loops since I will have 3 going at the same time.

lol. not just awesome, but the Bass/Treble Stick/Voice Box drawings are ADORABLE.

I totally kept saying "1590b" instead of bb, even though I was thinking bb. So yes, I subconsciously understood ya. Haha.

Nice work on those pedals there Ran. You use waterslides for the decals?

Yup. Pain in the arse trying to getting clean finishes w/ lacquer living in a house with a long-haired cat though!

Been toying with coloured prints on blank aluminum enclosures which I think's gonna look slick for some upcoming builds.

Do any folks that use waterslide decals bake them after lacquering?

Haha! I hear ya, there's three over here but I love 'em
Baking the waterslides seems like a disaster in the making. Don't know for sure as I haven't used them much, and I stopped hand spraying/baking my boxes. All powder coated these days.

3! I can only imagine what your couches/rugs look like after a day.

I don't paint the boxes...just get them in the finishes Mammoth offers, which they typically do a nice job on. I'm on the fence about baking 'em after a few coats of lacquer...might just have to try and see i guess. I've seen suggestions of using low temps to keep the decal from curling, so i'd start there I suppose.

Gotta tig weld them holes up, to keep the beer out

Heh yeah especially after the sets that went down today- luckily tomorrows sets will be a lot more calm when I am playing

I designed a mod to stop it from whistling but I put it on a switch so I can get my whistle on. posted it on diy stomp at the time. the big difference is that my 3 part fuzz is a comparator centered at 0v. the graphic fuzz is a high gain thing. both of them are dc coupled and biased at 0v.

Very cool! I like the idea of the whistle switch, haha. I need to sit down an trace the pictures of the original graphic so I can build one. The only schematic I've found was incorrect.

let me save you some time. this one has been confirmed as correct. I included the anti-whistle mod but you can add a switch to take the mod (R7, C5) out of the circuit by breaking that loop. pay attention that you do not connect the sleeve, box, pot etc... to a battery terminal. the battery must have a separate power switch. the battery connects to the board and power switch only. the pot and jack sleeve get a virtual ground from the pcb. you do not need a stereo input jack.

Much obliged! I'll probably breadboard it this week.

I found a mistake in my schematic, delete R5, R6. they should not be there. sorry for posting so much off topic in here.

Thanks for the posting that schem, I think I'll give it a try when I get a chance

I built this sometime last year but don't think I ever posted guts.. My blue MK1.5

That's beautiful, Officer
