Branimir's corner /w forum board idea!

[Branimir]

I'm into pedalbulding again, after all these years of stagnating, i'm building one pedal per week again!

I would like to propose an idea to the admins, what about a sub-board for diy-ers to post their works. Just like this thread, similiar to the pictures thread. I guess most of the people here would like talk about their pedals, and show them (audio clips too), and it would be a mess if every now and then someone opens a thread like one I did now, we would have page one filled with "look/see my pedals" and that wouldn't be nice.

Anyways, here's my latest build, Small Stone from tonepad, I named it Milk Machine, pics next week (my sister took the camera to the seaside with her).

But here is a sound clip:

1.3mb 96kbps 44kHz, 1min 55sec

Guitar - Milk Machine - crappy onboard soundcard.

I put a bit of eq in cooledit just to make it brighter, since there's no guitar amp here

  Sounds glorious !!!
  There was a section called 'reviews' in the old forum...
  I mounted my SS into a Wah pedal as speed control, and on to my board...it  has somewhat "Vibed' phase staging caps.

Very nice sounding.

The only problem I see is that the name is already taken. So it could be confusing. The Hughes & Kettner Cream Machine is a well known name.

Ups! I didn't knew that.

Heh, I'll change it then to something else

Another addition:

I remeber talking about the cost of materials for this build, so here it is:

I converted the prices from my local currency to Euros.

DPDT switch - 7,64 Euros
potentiometer - 1,06
CA3080 (5 ic's) - 4,23 Euros (0,84 per pcs)
BC559b (3 pcs) - 0,2 Euros
resistors (minus 3, i forgot them heh, 48 totally) - 1,33 Euros
capacitors:
  63,8nF (5 pcs) - 1 Euro
  100nF (4 pcs) - 0,28 Euros
  10uF - 0,05 Euros
  33uF - 0,07 euros
  47uF - 0,05 Euros
Transparent LED - blue - 0,9 Euros

That's it, i had bunch of BC549c at home so I didn have to buy them, as well as the input/out jacks and the dpdt for the color switch.

I bent aluminum myself, so box is a DIY too, no costs there...

This is just a thought.

I hope I'm not pissing people off with this.  I feel like a door-to-door vacuum saleman with this wiki thing.

[Gilles C]

Good idea. I always forget the Wiki myself...
