Pictures!

Your etchings are amazing!! I know you've written a tutorial on your methods but you really should make a video. I would love to watch you make some of your designs!

I would love to see a video as well. Your designs and technique are awesome!

Thanks for the comments, guys

Hmm.. a video... Tempting.
I will think on it!

My 250 clone is still a work in progress (still building the guts inside) but I just wanted to show off my top aluminum panel etch artwork that I stuck on tonight:



It's using ID-MARK sheets that are photopolymer resist coated sheets of aluminum and polyester. The resist cures when exposed to UV and rinses away with simple tap water in the unexposed areas:

I made my panel artwork into a transparency and it was UV exposed onto it. The etching is done with water!

[Scruffie]

Wow... your project really has come to fruition, that is an incredible case... *insert Jealousy here* 

I love the aluminium on black, really turned out well even with the thin schematic image traces, can't wait to see the finished guts!

[phector2004]

thats a very neat way to etch!

love the circuit diagram on your pedal as well

Good work! You've accomplished something you've talked about doing for a while - always good to see that happen! Looks really good too.

I'm curious how much you think it cost you to do that? I'm interested in trying it myself, and would love to have an idea about how much per enclosure it would cost to make happen?

I need to re-add up the parts I that bought to figure out the 'build' cost per pedal. I think the last time I checked it was close to $40 factoring shipping parts I needed from 3 places. That didn't include the PCB, components, panel etch material, (that my dad got for me) and my R&D time. This is speculative, but of course if I were selling copies the sale price would be higher than the pure parts and materials cost so I don't know what that would be as of yet.

Hi,

Heres a couple more Star Wars influenced pedals....

The Han Solo

Aron's beginners project from this site, great pedal!


The ABY Wing

Passive AB Y box

The collection so far...

Cheers,
Jimi

[Steve Mavronis]

I like the A-B-Y Wing! Very nice.

[philbinator1]

Well you'll have to do a fuzz pedal with Chewbacca on it and call it the "laugh it up fuzzball" pedal.

Ok, that's about as much Star Wars referencing as I'll let myself do this year!

hahaha

cheeky, lol at the SHO with the princess on 

[studiostud]

Modded my Rangemaster once more.
I have a new transistor that sounds even better than the other one exept now with humbuckers, it was a bit woofy with the .05 cap, but was nice with my P-90....so I added a .02 and .01 cap and switch. Im all set now.

The guts looks quite vintage.  Even the old style toggle switch.  Love it.  Where did you find all the caps?

[momo]

Sorry for all the duplicates guys, this is final version.....I like a small metal knob best for the cap switch.
I get most of my oil caps in old movie projectors.

Here is my bare metal 1590B version too!

[knealebrown]

soooooo, its not a guitar pedal but im sure a headphone amp is close enough?





now wheres slades next build? he always shows up to show me up 

[jkokura]

Dude - Not sure that Slade COULD show you up! That's awesome!!!

What layout/project did you use? How does it sound?

ha ha, im not reaching slades attention to detail yet....or awesomeness but im humbled by the kudos, thanks.

Its from this site (http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tutorial/parts.html), pretty easy stuff compared to what were building over here, the only real tricky part is matching the stereo channels in terms of component tolerances. It gets rave reviews, but i havnt had a chance to pass a critical ear over it yet.

I have a 1u standalone headphone amp that is also a digital converter and monitoring station but needed something to take to uni when im tracking/mixing etc so this project suited me fine.

[Slade]

Nice, I like those minimalistic designs.

now wheres slades next build? he always shows up to show me up  

I didn't mean to!
Now here's my last:









Just kidding.
