lay it on me. What is the easiest project I can do with parts I can get at the shack?

I mean perf

Look up the dead easy dirt project on here. Super simple ic fuzz. The bass fuss is another easy one, though I'm not 100% sure all of its parts are available at the Shack.

radioshack stock is too unpredictable and way overpriced. desperate for a pot, I tried two local shacks, and they only ones they had were 5k 3 inch d shaft...they had about 30.

hahaha.

If you've got a dremel, those shafts are a cinch to cut down

And if you have some Bondo and patience, you can convert the D-shaft to round/smooth.

There's also the somewhat-famous Radio Shack Fuzz by Andy Carrell:

It's a loooonnng thread, but everything you need is in the first post.

I also did a Bazz Fuss layout for eyelet boards:

This exact bazz fuss was the first circuit I ever built. I think it was before you were even a member here, I just found it in a Google search and liked it better than all the other layouts!

Cool! Glad you made use of it.

so this is eyelet board?



i've never seen it in person before. if a place carries perf/vero board, would they likely have eyelet boards?

Wow, that looks familiar!

Yes, that is eyelet board. There is a tutorial on making them here:

Mostly they are used (in much larger sizes) for building amplifiers. They work pretty much the same way as turret boards.

Yep, that's the stuff! As far as I know you have to put the stuff together yourself. You can get everything you need at turretboards.com.

edit: CJ beat me to the punch. haha.

that is ..cool

and also on my to do list
