My latest build: modified Matchless Hotbox

holy... something..

that graphics looks f**king... something!

did you etch everything except the graphic or did you construct it out of metal? awesome...

markm · August 28, 2006, 09:28:37 AM

I think it's a Decal but, I must say, the graphics are very cool

I like it!!

Here are a few shots of my Crybaby conversion - not really a build, this was my very first venture into modifying and making pedals.

I've put in a Banzai Halo inductor, true-bypass switching, and this led which changes colour from red to green to blue to red to.....

I think that I need to have the case powdercoated in some mad colour - black is dull.

Fatwah? Pun intended?

brian smoke · August 28, 2006, 11:57:58 AM

Of course. - It does sound fat - I'd reccomend anyone putting one of those inductors into their pead.

I was more refering to the jihad connotations, heh.

Yeah, so was I. I'd like to sell one to Salman Rushdie - he probably doesn't play guitar in hiding.

Let me also give a knod to MarkM for the inspiration. And while I'm at it...Glenn Danzig after all I stole the design from the misfits (just elongated it a bit cause the enclosure is narrow). I need to clean the enclosure up a bit as you can still see my reference lines for drilling. In case you're wondering yes, it's sitting atop a Dunkin Donuts box.

By the way, it's another Smalley boost but I added a toggle to switch input caps. Thanks to those that helped with that mod...my first one.

I love the misfits

Here is some pictures of the booster project I am building from this forum;

Aged it myself with some scisors before it goes for a final clear coat. I used matt paint, and I quite like how it looks at the moment so I might just leave it.

The holes are now for 'decoration' the enclosure was originally going to be used for the Foxx tone machine;

And the booster only has one knob so I drilled another two to make it look like a corner decoration thing! There is a footswitch that isn't being used so I might eventually find something to do with it.

Why'd you give up on the Tone Machine?

Tnx man, graphic is done with silver self-adhesive vinyl. There's shop here that does custom vinyl graphics and it's very cheap and easy to do things like this. I use it for all pedals, guitar headstock labels, etc...

I didn't, it needed a bigger enclosure (I had the circuit board mounted so everything wouldnt fit in)

See my post above the booster for pics of the finished tone machine

markm · August 29, 2006, 12:41:11 PM

WOW!
That's really all I can say at this point!
Real nice work there dano

pi22seven · August 29, 2006, 06:03:57 PM

I officially want to build a stompbox with a VU meter in it now.

bancika · August 29, 2006, 06:29:55 PM

great work dano!!!

snufkin · August 29, 2006, 06:40:54 PM

wow i thout of that too but wasun sure how to do it as i have little practical skill but it just lookes soooooooooo cool

Hiwatt25 · August 29, 2006, 07:47:10 PM

Agreed, is there potentially a "VU Meter" tutorial in the works? You can't beat that for pure curb appeal. I've seen guys do that with amps too and I think it looks so cool. Hell, I don't even care if it's practical.

bean · August 29, 2006, 08:14:59 PM

Only took three builds to get this one right:

The meter on the fuzzLab series stuff is purely for voltage. You can use it to show transistor bias or overall voltage sag--usually there is some kind of pot in the circuit that actually adjusts said voltage.

Other than that, it is just curb appeal
