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…
A few more olds builds.
I lost a lot of these pictures from my blog. So i thought I would repost them again for fun.
These were some builds I made about 10 ten years ago. These were all built with PCB that mounts the pots and jacks. I etched some design on some of the boxes. There are a few images in there of this process.
Some etched boxes. This is a Big Muff clone.
This is a PCB that mounts a stomp switch, jacks, and is wired for an LED. I had this idea ten years ago and had a few of these made. It worked pretty well.
It’s a compressor, might be a good one, I can’t tell. From what I here the best compressors are the ones that make you ask “is this thing on?” Easy build worked on the first test.
I love the hype and description of the Anticthon. I’m a big fan of the of beat, and less popular effects. I’ll take the oddball every time over the tried and true. I got this and couldn’t get into it.
I was thinking about building one of these myself, then I saw this used on Reverb.com for $99 and free shipping. I was hard to beat. The effort to build it woul been worth $99.
I always wanted one of these. Then I saw this on Reverb.com for a $160 + free shipping. That seemed very reasonable. It works surprisingly well. Interesting construction, looks like this is built from three boards. A small stripboard, looks like a bespoke SHO, attached to the Volume pot. Then there is the…
This is a multiplex Jr from 1776 I like this better than the zero point from mad bean. The zero point has more options, but I think the sound is better on the Jr. The difference is really slim. They are both built on almost the same PT2399 core.
Really just a Woolly Mammoth clone. I used some rubber stamps and Stazon ink to decorate the box. It’s sporting an obnoxiously bright green LED. The LED is probably the only thing I don’t like about this box. This is a mastodon fuzz pcb from music pcb. It’s a small pcb that mounts on the…
