Pictures!

Hey dano12:

I'm curious why you placed the MOSFETs on the back of the pots like that. Is it a grounding or heat sink thing (although I know MOSFETs at stomp box levels would not generate any appreciable amount of heat)? Or was it just a convenient place to put them?

I have some power MOSFETs I salvaged from old UPS-es they were throwing out at work (75339P) and I am hoping to explore them as clippers or even as small power amps that could be overdriven. I am a little concerned-in-advance about packaging them in a stompbox, however. (Cart before the horse, I know...)

And stunning workmanship BTW.

Thanks,
-- T. G. --

Purely a convenient location. At <9v, the MOSFETs will never generate any appreciable heat so it is just a matter of placement. I super-glued two IRF520's back to back, wired in the 1n34 diodes and then stuck that mess to the top of the pot. Thanks for the kind words--I'm on tap to build 20 of these things

Dan...you win! My god that build is clean! I want to see the top now too...

How much for a BeavisAudio Ratatatat?

Well, since you guys didn't like the last one very much, I thought I'd post up another simple etch... its a bluesbreaker inside I did this one for a guy at work... its for a school art project.  He has to design an ad campaign around this product...

[nordine]

man, that must be the cleanest etching i've ever seen

perfect

[Sweetalk]

I agree... great work $uperpuma!

[darron]

i'm also interested to see the ad campaign? hehe (:

[$uperpuma]

yeah me too! evidently this little rockstar has a "photo shoot" this weekend... and some kind of custom packaging... he said he'd share the photos, so when I get them you guys can see them...

that's awesome.. i dream of things like custom packaging! lol

[markm]

I agree... great work $uperpuma!

First etched box. Superfuzz from ustomp layout. Great sound. Harder than MarkM and Puma make it look!

[Sweetalk]

Strange knobs!!!!.... where did you get them?.. Nice work, I like it... an image of a revolver will suit perfectly!

[$uperpuma]

lookin' good! cool name for a pedal, too!

lookin' good! cool name for a pedal, too!

revengance would have done good, too. 

[KerryF]

Those look like the knobs from the Budda amps.  Nice!

Ok finally I finished my Mega Ishtortion (Basically a Boss DS-1 with Turbo mode.)
Special Thanks to Melanhead for help with boost mode.

It sounds great!

[Barcode80]

looks great izzy! what ds-1 layout did you use?

[Izzy]

Thanks!

I used the schematic from tonepad and made the layout myself.

Here is my layout. there are 2-3 bugs in this layout. I havent corercted them I guess.

[Izzy]

Oh yeah and those magical Blue LEDs.! 

[zjokka]

two of my latest...  my "dual" APC in "ikea" enclosure and a simple booster.

Welcome to the ikea stompbox family! I love it! Are they (the bowls) still available?
