Probably more expensive for me. The Aussie dollar is fucked at the moment. But it's a hobby and it fills the insomnia hours I suffer through. And I get something nice to play with when I'm done. They are well designed pcbs and the components are good quality. For the Unidrive clone I chased up some proper 2sc859 transistors and paid through the nose for them. Worked out to be a little over $5.00 per transistor. I don't sell my builds so I think they are worth what I spend on them. Still a lot cheaper than buying the real thing. If I were to buy a Warmpler Euphoria pedal new it would cost me $225.00 AUD. To build a kit form it cost me about $70.00 AUD

Just finished this one a couple of hours ago. It's basically a NPN version of a Rangemaster with a couple of tweaks. I built it using pretty much spare parts (the enclosure is an old Behringer DI box I think :D) and wanted to get a distressed look on it. Looks ugly, sounds ugly. In a nifty kinda way.

I think it looks and sounds awesome. I was about to say the distressed look suits it well and makes it look rock solid. :thumb:

Also damn that Aussie dollar. Thankfully I have a flood of parts for builds now but obtaining harder to get items just became more expensive. :facepalm:

So, I modded my Boss DS-1 with, basically, an expanded version of the JHS Synth Mod.

I did so badly at attempting to Waterslide it that I just gave up, drew on it with pencil, and clear coated.
Also, I managed to break the flipping transistors :facepalm: so it's permanently on, thus, I plan to make an "X-Wing" true bypass looper for it. :omg:

Get a boxed set of ink stamps. I use Stayzon black ink for light coloured fx and Liquid Paper for dark coloured fx. Another cool idea I haven't tried yet, is to cut letters from news papers and stick them on ransom letter style. Then clear over the top. Though that probably doesn't suit the whole Star Wars theme you have going on.

After several unsuccessful attempts at waterslide, I'll probably just start screen printing since it's a fairly simple process for me to do and I have the space to do it.

:lol: that would be awesome

Meathead DLX with bigger/smaller input caps for wider sweep of the filter pot.

Oh, yeah the guitar is a Gibson LP tuned down to B and the amp is a Marshall JMP.
