I have a DOD FX-50b, which is fully intact except for jacks, pots, a bypass switch, and battery clip. I got a little excited upon hearing about circuit bending, and I didn't really think things through.  :oops:  So now I have no idea how to put this sucker back together.

Can I do this? Or should I just scrap the parts completely?

By the way, hello. I'm new here... I joined cause I dig the site / forum and I look up to your guys' work.

Okay. I give up. I'm gonna scrap it and build a boost in an altoids container.


Is it possible to fit a BSIAB II in a DOD enclosure?

There was a FX70C, "Corrosion" Pedal,
& a FX70 Stereo Flanger.
Yours is a FX70B??
First--Get an accurate schematic.
(a pcb parts layout would help 2)
"fully intact, except..."
what U got?, just the box & pcb??
........
mayB just get the altiods container(?)
if this is gonna B your "first" build,
use a larger-than-U-need-sized box.
then, later, after it's all working,
'U can put the shrinkray on it...

I have the box, the PCB, the unconnected battery clip, and one 250k pot.

I google'd around. And that 50b is a pretty hated overdrive, and nobody's bothered to map it out. So at this point it's not even worth it to me, I'm just gonna assimilate the components and build some little mutants.

I do have some junction boxes laying around. One could be the 'bigger than needed' for the job.  :)

my half-educated guess says that you could fit a BSIAB2 in there with room, if you used the smaller version. if you used the version with the big tone stack, you might have to squeeze a little...
