Looks great, and good combo! I have etched Freppo's silver fox and his ring mod but haven't built them yet. Miss my old Ugly Face, too. It was the second thing I ever built on perf and it was super f'ing nasty.

Just finished wiring the Ahabs I talked about a couple of pages back, and I feel pretty happy about the outcome. Hope this isn't breaking the rules, since I built three of them and will be selling one or two once the decals are done!

Nice builds dude. And they are original circuits so it's not really against the rules I don't think. When they are done just post them in the BST classifieds page with some demos and I'm sure you will move them no worries. :thumb:

not finished but.....module for the spin fv-1. Im going to build a nice buffer/blender for use with guitar. Top three pots are the three controls for the spin, bottom three (from left to right) are clock speed, mix (which will connect to the blender), and the third is undecided...thinking either simple dirt circuit, tone, or just a volume knob...suggestions?

p.s. this is my first time using smd and i loved it! a little shaky at first but once i got the hang of it i found it so much easier than thru hole components! highly recommend delving into smd!

Way to go, brave adventurer. I know I should try to jump into surface mount sooner than later, but it is intimidating. You now have the advantage of being able to source current production jfets, which is a pretty big deal.

give it a shot! worst thing that happens is you're out .01 cents for the dirt cheap components. mine looks messy but it works and im sure it will only get neater. those are also 0603 sized which is about as small as a hair follicle so im sure you can make it easier on yourself!

Finally finished up my Pep Box. :joy:

Well, except for wiring the LED... but who cares it sounds good.

Thanks man.

Here are a couple finished projects I just got back. I don't do the electronic portion :facepalm: I do labor trades with people and I build the enclosures, ship them to them, and they load them and send me one back :)

And so far, that's a perfect equation. Where can we listen to them? Vids?

No vids, at least not now. But, those are both pcbs you can buy, nothing one-off...I have mostly been doing labor trades with people on the madbeans forum...I just sometimes have a tendency to name them different than the pcbs.

The "Arcane Fuzz" is a Grind Customs ultrastoner pcb board.

The giant hogweed uses a pcb that was available as a group buy on the madbeans site. Here is a demo of the hogweed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbygRG-6QU
