Osh Park PCBs
I just received this order from OSH Park. I order four boards. You are required to buy three copies of each board you order. The cost is $5 per square inch for 2 layer boards (with 3 copies of your board included in that price). Which is not bad, if the boards are small it’s…

SG Jr kit
this was built from précis ion guitars kit. I made a few small modifications. The finish is a wipe on wax from wudtone. This looks really good and was very easy to apply, required no special equipment, and, best of all, no toxic fumes! You could apply this stuff in your living room, seriously. It…

I just read this article, you should too, read it and come back. I feel there is something to sound created by parts made from different materials and techniques.

Melvin’s
otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 I love the Melvin’s. I also love these acrylic guitars with aluminum necks. These effects seem kind pedestrian for the Melvins, except for the MXR blue Box. Then again with the Melvins it’s all about the choice of chords and…

These are too nice to step on
fuzzkaizer: wooden box marvels “…when I asked him to build some boxes for some of my circuits, he kinda went to town…” “The base is cherry, veneers are quilted mahogany & rosewood, the binding african blackwood with maple purfling and the back cover is aluminum, sprayed with black appliance epoxy. The knobs are african blackwood…

Modulated Delay, will it ever go out of style?
redsunfx: news from the workbench. This looks cool. I like delay with modulation.
