almost there.

Hello All, My name is mike and I've been building for a couple years now. I've been a regular over at MBP forum and one of the guys there (DMinner) said i should join here as well. So here are a couple builds that I have completed in the past year or so.

This is a Foxx Tone Machine work alike. (PCB layout by MBP)



Here is a Fuzz Factory work alike (GPCB)



And this is a MusicPCB Echo Base



Feel free to swing by my Blog here http://custohmelectronics.blogspot.com/ or my Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/custohmelectronics/. Thanks guys!

The Java Grind Fuzz with Special Fun Knob. Good to the last note.

Love the Java Grind. Looks.... so ....... Cuban!

First successful DIY build ever today! I really enjoyed doing it, so relaxing. Hoping to just keep on picking up kits and enjoy the ride while trying to build more complex stuff (looking at you, MI!)

show us the interesting side, dude

really good soldering btw...thought you were new at this

it did take me a couple hours just to do that small board. as long as I quietly took my time it's actually quite peaceful to solder. thank you for the compliment though!

I've been wanting to get started with building pedals for a bunch of years now.
Time has always been an issue (still is); and then, there's getting over the initial hump of getting started.
I finally did get started over the Christmas break and now I'm totally addicted and have a long, long future builds list to show for it.
I can't wait to get started on my next build!

Here are a couple of the DIY stuffs I've been working on

Feedback looper






Madbean Sabertooth






SSBS Sparkle Motion
**don't worry** I asked Brian!! ...and he was totally awesome with it... thanks, Brian






Lo-fi mic made of old telephone parts and a gooseneck'd IKEA lamp (really happy with the way it sounds)




And I got bored and modded my pedalboard, because I got sick of the Godlyke thing dangling everywhere



Hopefully, lots more to come

Nice work!

I really like the aesthetic of those.

Yeah those look awesome man, keep it up! So is the phone mic going for an intentional lo-fi kinda sound or what?

Thanks, guys

@cherier - yep. Lo-fi, telephone mic. Sounds great on it's own (desired effect), but also when paired with a 57 and you split the difference in the mix. It adds a lot to the overall signal.

Have a schematic or instructions you worked from? Looks awesome!

It's dead-simple to do. I used this as the basis for it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a- ... e-Speaker/
but google it, there's a ton of info out there. Just remember to use the ear-piece and not the mouth-piece!

I think it took me 10x longer to find the right phone and figure out what the hell to do with it, because I didn't want to use the receiver
I'd had an old, busticated IKEA lamp sitting around for forever - after I got an old phone (for free!), it probably took me about 6 months of goofing around with other "containers" before I realized that the freakish-ly perfect thing was right under my nose.

Yup, same theory as a subkick. Speakers wired in reverse makes a good lo-fi mic. Get a big speaker, throw it in front of a kick drum, and you have a big badda boom.

Dig the hell out of the diy projects DADGBD. Love the simple look.

This thread remains my favorite on ILF.
