Does it shed?

[duck_arse]

That's fantastic!

It makes me want to build a pedal that looks like it has a massive afro. You could go full 1970's and do a crazed funk autowah with corduroy flares on the lower enclosure too.

Dougal!

no, doesn't shed, or not as yet, but it's a bugger trying to find the screw holes, and clearing around the control mounting nuts. as for NZ, no, in fact he comes from the U S of A originally .....



while doing the repairs, I came up with heaps of pertinent gags, yessir, musta been three bags full. but bah. BAH! this black sheepskin fluff made me forget them all, so count yourselves lucky.

[rutabaga bob]

No...I DON'T know why.

Nice build!  A person might have to think twice about having this in a house with dogs.  It might get some rough treatment.

Bah...

[ElectricDruid]

Dougal!

That's a great idea too! Duly added to the list: "Ideas I must get around to - Volume fourteen, 2018-2020"

the best thing about having built a sheepskin covered pedal is - you can say "I've built a sheepskin covered pedal" - and then you don't ever have to do another one. here is my diphthongiser build, a modded honeydripper seen in that other thread.




I asked the guy if he had any cowhide for to cover a box - he sent me some of his wife's sheepskin offcuts. well what could I do? he'd also sent me that purple cloth, so he really only has himself to blame. shown below is the earlier faulty build, illustrating the dumb stuff I do inside a build, showing some skin and the fleece depth, and some gluing clamps in action.


if you've never handled a skinned box, it is really quite a thing. luxurious and plush, slippery, here and not here. also very hairy. the bypass led is blue, by the way ..... thanks and blame to Rutabaga Bob and Pinkjimiphoton - they know why.

Reminds me of my Ex.

If you used one of the wedge-shaped Hammond boxes, this could be a perfect enclosure for a Big Muff.

Here's my take on the Spectrum, the Deadend FX project. I'm posting it alongside the original, super-rare Holmes Spectrum pedal that belongs to a friend of mine and which was the actual unit from which Dino & Phil traced and developed their project from. Pure MIJ genius filtering. I tried to follow the design to the extent possible; I couldn't find exact knob matches but Sifam/Selco make some that are good approximations. The 1/8" jacks are control voltage inputs I doctored up using rolled-my-own-'vactrols' and wired to each pot. Greatly appreciate the DEFX boys translating this hen's tooth into a project for all to enjoy.
EDIT: how do I adjust image size when uploading with photobucket? no matter what size I select it appears the same each time.

Is it called the Spectrum because it borrows the aesthetic of a Sinclair Spectrum?



Ok, maybe that's just me...

because of the blue knobs?

Oh dear. I had the ZX81 when I was a wee thing. I think I ran two programs on it and decided I'd rather have an Atari 

[snarblinge]

Been a long while between completed builds, here is a simple looper, but i'm having a lot of fun with the paint pen/spray combo

should have spaced the stomps just a tiny bit more..grr

[Govmnt_Lacky]

Would've called this "The Wookie Bush!"

[vigilante397]

You got waaaayyyyy better results with paint pens than I ever did. Looks great!

I'm back, another build done, this time a simpler, more traditional take on the Bazz Fuss circuit using a BC547 wired on tagboard.  Art Pending.

Twas a bit of a scavenger job since it started life as someone else's Homebrew "not quite a fuzz or overdrive" which wiring wise resembled a Fuzz Face (but sounded nothing like one).




Still trying to get all the parts together for my Guitari 2600 synthesizer pedal though.  19 or so controls.....need a lovetone sized case for it.  A whole year in the making....






And FazzFuzz turned two and was recently used on The Sonic Dead LP through a Champ clone. 

[duck_arse]

yes yes, I know, but I had to polish it because of the masking tape gum leftovers. here see a Harmonic Percolator built into a ..... err ..... moka pot. has heat and steam controls, no bypass indicator, and a switch that does nothing. press the volcano for bypass. safety valve for safety.





everything is on plugs and sockets, wired with shielded cable so I could drap it all over inside. it is very pushy and stiff-fitting as a result.



my last bit of vero - somewhere between the breadboading and the finished thing, the "octave down" the switch was to control left us. I can't hear it affect the sound at all. and some pot brackets, half bent.

My booster tube pedal rev.3. Muller Classic Amp boost section.  I refused to use a transformer to making anode voltage. Now there is a pulse converter.

[ElectricDruid]

Very cool, and I like the 'no transformer' and the cunning dual PCB layout, but using two red LEDs to make the tube glow is cheating!!
