I just finished my first project that I consider successful. It's a tiny giant amp with a BMP tone control and a Thunderdrive circuit for distortion. I also had to put in a voltage converter. There is a 12 volt out on amp PCB, so I put in a converter to bring it down to 9. My wife did the paint job. Thanks to everyone who gave me help along the way. I can't wait to start my next project!

You host it on a site that lets you provide a URL to the image, then you click on the icon two spots to the right of the Youtube icon you see above (well, at least when you are attempting to make a post), and insert the URL for the image in there.

BTW, congrats.  It's a good feeling, and well worth a fistful of exclamation marks.  :icon_wink:

Thanks, I'll try to get a pic up soon.

Congratulations on your successful build.  Looking forward to the pictures.

I can recommend tinypic for free hosting of your images.  You just need to create an account and then it is easy to upload your images.  When you want to post an image here, just fire up tipypic in another window, select the image you want, and then copy the appropriate url from the list at the left side (IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards).  Select and copy the information in that line and just paste it in your message.

Here's a pic. The inside is an atrocious mess of wires. My soldering skills are improving, now I have to work on my neatness with my wiring. I'm going to order some red knobs to match the robot. I think my new two builds will be the bazz fuss with an MPSA13 in the really small Hammond enclosure and then a Babylon fuzz from Forrest Whitesides.

Here's a few videos of the amp in action. I'm playing a Fender Tele with a Lace Sensor in the bridge through a Mesa open back cab. I recorded this with my Iphone, but I think the audio is pretty good. Please excuse the playing

Nice work all that in that tiny box too.
Well done
