Pictures!

Güero - To be honest, I enjoy the pictures of the insides of your pedals about as much as some of the nicest pedal outsides in this thread. Your work looks flawless inside and out! Beautiful!

[Güero]

Don't particularly care about mojo or not. I just wanted to see the artistry!  

Do you etch you own boards? If you do that is very impressive.

Thanks for the compliments! 
And yes, I do my PCB's with glossy paper and a little patience and a toothbrush.

Here's my latest very humble looking pedal.  It's a modified DLS based on a madbean Grapevine board.  The air/dark switch removes the 150pF gain pot treble bypass cap (on "dark").  The "More" FS puts a 5nF cap in parallel with the selected treble bypass cap.  This is basically the same thing that Nick from Catalinbread recommended, but with a different control arrangement.  The pedal is hand painted and sharpie lettered.  I don't have the skills and/or patience of most of you folks.  Bonus points to the person who guesses the mixed references in the art work.

You've got some "different"-looking components in there... where'd you get those metal films from? Also are those yellow film caps??

Cool build!

Am I right?




Nice build btw!

Thanks, guys.  Güero, you've got half of the reference!  What's the other?

Phector, the yellow, green, reddish, and orange dipped caps are all film types.  I used a couple of silver micas for smaller values, except one which is a newer type ceramic (not the heinous disk type).  I get 90% of my caps from local surplus shops--been hoarding for almost 20 years now.  I use what I have in the nearest value which physically fits and meets or exceeds the voltage requirements.  Oh, I forgot to mention that I run this thing at 18V.  9V was pretty weak, IMO.  DLS is a great sounding pedal.

the spinal tap was pretty obvious, but is the second one related to "MORE" by any chance?

Beautiful!
Do you have any sound clips? That thing is nuts - What is up with the expression pedal? Custom inside too?

Search "Ludwig Phase II." There's about 50 pages of info/discussion posted since May, in two different threads. The picture is of the first successful clone, which I finished about 10 days ago. There are videos of the originals, and I hope to make one of the clone soon. Nothing but the enclosure is custom. That's right, all the offboard wiring is NORMAL for this build.

It's the big red 11, actually.  I was inspired by this album cover:



One of my favorite bands--back in the day it was all Rickenbackers through Marshalls...

Tremulus Lune with etched face plate. The debugging on this one had me stumped forever, finally got it working though, and with out ticking! The shape switch is a on-off-on with the rammp up ramp down mod and to make it fit in the enclosure more easily I omitted the "fine" control.

My bypass looper I use on stage with my J-Station.
The color and font are from the album "Houses of The Holy"
All the Runes (symbols) are authentic and have special meaning.
I should have the kids cut out my decals ,as I always mess them up somewhere when cutting them out.
The top got whacked on this one,Oh well,I used a scrap decal anyway.
And tried to see how fast I could build it (45 min not including decal)

[Brymus]

A Dr Boogie customized for a local band.
he asked for :
Purple,the Black Dahlia Murders font,his name,his band name ,and lots of bio hazard emblems.
So I made this:



It was my Dr Boogie I made for the 666 competition.
I just reskinned it,and tweaked the EQ to his liking as well.
As I want a new one with both switchable gain and volume controls this time.
And I will probably use Rick Holt's layout instead of Gaus Markov's next time.
As wiring all the pots is a PITA!

@keppy:  we must have a video demo of this now..looks great, really authentic colours too...nice work man!..i know you guys worked hard on that old bugger!...


@bryan: nice boogies...shame about the 666 comp though..better late than never...
me to on ricks layout...looks nice,and much less spaghetti..i made mine have 2 volumes and 2 gains, really great for lower /higher gains...

great builds everyone!...

[darron]

it's like a rainbow threw up at a funeral! awesome


oh, where did you get the alpha covers?

[Frances Rhodes]

oh, where did you get the alpha covers?

i'm absolutely sure i saw pot covers on http://www.banzaimusic.com/ some time ago, i've been searching the website back and forth in every section since and never saw them again... you can still give it a try if you will, but i think shipping to australia would be awfully expensive!
