WIP Thread!

Post by StudioShutIn »

I didn't see a thread for this already..so I thought it would be good to have a thread where DIY-ers can show their Works-In-Progress, since we already have a 'completed DIY' thread. Also, for those of us (like me) who are not DIYers, I thought we could list requests/ideas we have for DIY projects.

To start things off, I have been kinda mulling over an idea of two DIY projects..I think the schematics for both of these are already available, too..
The first is a modified BassBalls pedal, without the distortion circuit..just the two out-of-phase filters.
The second is a True-Bypass clone of an EHX Bad Stone v.2 (the three knob version with manual sweep capability)

Good idea, I too have thought about this.

I would share pics of my work-in-progress "rehouse a Crybaby into a 1590BB" dealio but I already took out the trash... :mad:

If you want to see a purple sparkly box with a bunch of pointless holes drilled in it now, though, I can hook that up.

I'm working on a new wah PCB layout (Clyde McCoy). I found some cool axial inductors for cheap at Mouser. But they turned out to be too noisy to use for a wah. :(

I can't decide if I want to try to wax-pot the inductor or just give up and redo the layout for the typical radial lead inductors for wahs.

Anyway, here's what the axial layout looks like:

Here's another. Still have to trim down the pot, and figure out why it's not making any dirt.

WIPs... Well there is that bass I need to finis... and I am working on plans to turn a broken Olympia Thunderchief bass into a resonator, I'm shooting for a really odd tri-cone type of idea I'm working on... :trippy: I also have a Univox 335 body looking for a neck that will be for a guy I do video work for and play with now and then... and I have a Ibanez Sr885 body and neck to do something with...

parallel universe (new one) and a little atari punk console. this is a difficult, almost impossible build due to the small enclosure but I think it will be worth it. its all there but the resistors, caps, 556. I do have the output and the dip14 socket mounted to the protoboard. the parallel universe is gonna wait for 3PDT's and LED's. no board in Parallel Universe yet although i do have all the parts. I need 100n and 10n caps for the APC and I need Knobs for everything.

I'm partially responsible for that run! :hello: There are some boards left yes :thumb: they're very nice, just waiting for the parts for my own to arrive.

Soon there might be another Vintage EHX Pedal PCB run too....
