Cool builds please!!!

[kristoffereide]

I've got like a million part, and with me having to wait for even more parts I want to build something to ease the anger over the insanely slow Norwegian customs and postal service.

Can you please post something for me to build? It has to use "common" parts, and not be to critical of parts-selection. (what I mean is that it will still work if I use a different res or cap etc)
I have some op-amps/IC's, and I would like to build something using them. However it is required.

Please help me! My hobby-room is getting dusty!

Browse the layout gallery here or check out the usual project sites like Tonepad or General Guitar Gadgets to start.

always simple to make and amazingly educational and surprisingly useful.

is Dust in the Wind for this Jear...
...or is it for 2010?

ICs/Op-amp and easy...Dist+/tune reamer/ruby amp...Search around with your IC number (ex. 4558, lm741)
Check http://runoffgroove.com/articles.html.

Enjoy!

If you have an LM386, the Smash Drive is a fun one to play around with.

Define "cool". I considering anything I build that works to be cool. It tends to be not very cool around my place.

The runoffgrooves.com has the new Mockman 2.0 version up.  If you have a dual opamp this circuit rocks.  I breadboarded this just because I had the parts for it.  After trying it I was very pleased.  So much so I perfboarded it a put it the same enclosure as the first version I built.  It doesn't sound like the first version at all.  It sounds fantastic.

My hit rate must be about 15 to 20% so I entirely agree with you. Honestly maybe quite a bit less. 2

My idea of cool is a schematic that takes me ages to design into PCB tracks. After drilling, soldering and mounting in a box... if it don't work I'm over it. Onto the next thing.

A lot of these circuits are very innovative, simple, and fun to play around with. They're also often funny (check out the bronx cheer ).

Thanks again! I'll be building at least one tonight! All the builds on both sites look really cool, and looks like fun builds. I'll give the ruby or little gem a go I've got some plexiglass laying around that i'll use as casing. I think i'll try a couple of car-speakers to these builds. Hope I get it right!
