And now, an attempt to divert us back to finished DIY Projects.

Someone posted their first finished DIY Project five days ago, and didn't get a single comment about that finished DIY Project.

Not very encouraging to someone who just Finished their first DIY Project.

(If my sarcasm about the recent direction of this topic didn't come through, consider building a new sarcasm meter as your next finished DIY Project.)

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

Awesome. First one is always tough. It feels great when it is finished and working! Lots of room for improvement, though.

I'd like to say it gets easier, but usually it doesn't. Circuits get more complex, fit-and-finish gets more demanding, and enclosures get smaller.

The led itself could be knackererd. Or too much heat when soldering. Diodes don't like heat very much. I've burned them out soldering them before I knew what a heat sink was.

Mike this is ILF. We go off topic all the time. Don't get your panties in a bunch because I asked a question.


Props to Bob on his build.

jwar, this is ILF. Sometimes topics need a little nudge to get back on track. Don't get your panties in a bunch because I happen to be the messenger.

My panties aren't even on right now!

Nah dude, I get it. I just needed a little explanation and didn't want to start a new topic for something like that.

My new analog-digital octave fuzz.

Nice build and concept. Clips of that would be awesome

Wow dude!

I haven't posted a build in a while as I've been pretty loaded down with other things. Finally built something for myself. Madbean's take on the DMM circuit with a PT2399 chip.

The graphic is based on Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. It's obviously a modernized version; I'm quite pleased with the way the etch plate turned out. I did my best to capture some of the little details of the original. :-)

Ace switch placement

Gotta keep it true to Leonardo's vision.

Love that huge fresnel, dirtybaby... ... I mean ... pickdropper.

Having some fun...

That Valnøtt

What is it? Death Metal with an extra knob? Input gain?

Man, so many great looking DIY projects here... my first humble submission:

FKR (four knob rat) build with LM308N IC, soft and hard clipping options, Ruetz mod, etc:



Axis face build with volume pot and bias, voltage starve, gain, and pre-gain on trims on the PCB:



The combo up and running - I boost the rat with the axis face and call it the Face Fucker
