Here’s an Ugly Face in a neon tufted fur.
So my wife says she needs an auto wah…
To which my first reaction is to say, in my best thundering voice, “No wife of mine will be sounding like Jerry Garcia!”. Of course I suppress this urge with practiced aplomb. Six years of marriage and I can pin…
Rondo AD-2300 (Left-handed version)
I wanted something like an SG, and that meant the Epiphone G-400 for my price range. But then I'd be buying pickups and tuners that I'd only want to replace ASAP; wasn't there an affordable guitar that might not need immediate upgrading? The Agile AD-2300 seemed like it could be that guitar.

New Guitar
Sometimes you have to buy a new guitar. Sometimes you just give in. I saw this and was inspired. Not sure why, it does have a unique look. I figured the expense was not justified. After thinking about this for…
Silicon Tone Bender take 2
Whenever I build something I usually build two. The parts are cheap. If I make a mistake or the PCB doesn’t etch correctly I have a spare. If you build the first and it doesn’t work you can build the…
Silicon Tonebender
I built this Silicon Tonebender posted by mictester over on Freestompboxes. I used this layout. Everything worked the first try and it sounds good. I used BC109CN for transistors. These sounded good and have that metal can with a little…
