Pictures!

front inside

Wow, that glow looks nice
How did you get it to shine so bright, perhaps you used a few LED's because my superbright ones are always very 'directional'?

look at the picture, you can see a single led and a metallic looking thing (aluminum foil parabola?) which spreads the light in a reflection

reminds me of Alexander Delarge's huge hyperbola light in A Clockwork Orange (favorite movie )

I painted this one for Krinor. Its one of the enclosures from www.pedalenclosures.com ...which, by the way, are FANTASTIC ! I was completely skeptical about them, but having one here to check out made me see what great quality enclosures they are. 100%, definitely, absolutely, worth the extra $$$...I'll be buying some very soon.

yep single led and tin foil!!

whats there to be skeptical about? (never thought id have to say that) 
they dont look flimsy

Mainly I was concerned about the bottom plate - how it fit and how it was attached....basically the "fit and finish" of the product. It's not a big money corporation, and often times smaller companies have problems making a completely "professional" product... I can definitely report that these enclosures are really fantastic quality.

Great work Dragonfly! I'm really looking forward to build a killer fuzz in that one!

[kawayanstrat]

^^very nice! What circuit did you use in the little booster? Do you have a schematic?

I got it from GGG,but i made the pcb half the size of the original,so it could fit. anyway here's the link.

Nice looking! Is it Phase 45 or a MKII fuzz? If it's a phase 45, what mod have you done? Univibey?

Thanks

  I have a MkII...

  BYOC 45 comes with depth knob, these boxes I got going, and wouldn't mind having a schematic and an actual layout for them though [too difficult to figure out mostly...I just leave them working.
  45 has nearly-vibey mod, somewhere between the stock values and a couple different values on a couple phase stages, best I can remember...the last 45 I build on perfoboard sounded wobbly with the 'full stagger' of univibe phase stage capacitor values, I guess you could call it a '~1/4 vibed phaser'.
  Me likey very much, about neck and neck with the Micro Vibe, soundwise, but The Micro-Vibe output produces a little bit less than unity ..perhaps I ask about that in new thread soon.

[The French connection]

I guess you mean BYOC phase 90? I got my Phase45 from GGG and i know the 1/10 caps mod for univibing the 45 but i was just wondering what's your extra knob do on yours...but since it's phase 90...

Nice looking again...Kind of Jackson Pollock meets Mondrian!

Made this some time ago:

It's a BS170 booster/overdrive thingy with switchable clipping diodes.

Nice one, Beros, could you please explain better the circuit or post it, if you don't mind sharing?!


Timotet, nice glow there...It's an eye catcher for sure!!!

The circuit is kind of similar to the Super hard on.. only some slight changes in cap values. (don't know if i traced the SHO correctly though.. )
The fatness switch is a On-Off-On switch that switches between two different caps to ground, to get a nice treble roll-off. No treble roll-off in the middle position.
The clip-switch switches between germanium diodes and red LED+germ. (no diodes in middle position) The LED+Germ diodes allows for more output and less clipping, while the Germ+Germ-diodes will clip more but allow for less output gain.

And a master volume at the end.

Actually its a nice circuit cause you can get it to clip in so many different ways.
You can crank the "drifv"-knob and keep the master low, which will get you some clipping from the trannie itself.
Or you can set the Drifv-knob to 3 o'clock and the master-knob to full, and get some nice break up from the amp.
And you can mix these sounds with the diodes, which is cool.
This makes it really versatile and It'seasy to get good sounds out of every amp you plug it into.

I keep it in my gigbag for those gigs where you can't bring your own amp. That way I know I will at least get a good overdrive somehow.
If you want, I can PM you the layout, but I don't know if the cap values are the same as on the layout.

Here's my Echo Base Delay all boxed up. Not a perfect etch but I like the way it turned out. Kind of battle worn.

Chawk - That looks AWESOME !!!

You should make one for me !  (hint, hint ...)

[Valoosj]

It looks good. When I etched my pedals, I always had this residue in the etched parts. Do you have that same problem?

[cheeb]

That's just the aluminum gook. Scrub it out with a toothbrush. One that you won't be using again.

How do you pronounce Valoosj?

[rikkards]

Seriously!! That there is some serious geek cred. I wish I had that kind of imagination to think of something like that

I think we could probably work something out there!
