Hi Guys.
Greetings from brazil.
My first builds with waterslide decal.


Foxx Tone Machine


Tube Screamer TS9


"Sweet 51"(51 is a Brazilian drink, called cachaça.) The pedal is a Crunch Box with presence knob and a TS9 with Clipping switch.

Both of you: IMPRESSIVE!

That's a super looking build João
And that Sweet 51 is....sweet!

Thanks! I'll make them (just the printed parts and milled enclosure) for anyone who is interested, so if anyone is interested, let me know

3D Printed wah:

That's incredible!!!!

I want that, too! Would you share the STL files?

No, sorry man, trying to make a living off of stuff like this.
But I'll make you one, not that expensive.

I see. No that's OK! This surely is cool enough to make some money with. But if I can't make it myself I don't want it. Funny bug this DIY Pedal stuff.... Can't explain it, but why should I in this group?

All the best for your business Galego (I hold you in high esteem since that IS* DEC*MAT*R layout!) and keep on astonishing us.

It doesn't stop being DIY if you get a wah enclosure. I've bought the big ones before, and it wasn't less DIY because I didn't cast the aluminium myself
I think it would be cool for people to either build small wahs, expression or volume pedals with these, or even add them to a bigger box for midi controllers or stuff like that. It's still diy.

Well, about 3 years on from ordering the PCBs from Vallhagen (Thankyou), Finally boxed up the two Blue Monsters.



guts, the same on both, tried to keep to theme.

[ElectricDruid]

Love the blue internals. That shows serious dedication! Nice one.

snarblinge nice job man .I like the artwork.I suggest be more carefull with the soldering iron.As i can see the wires are not so good soldered on the 3pdt.Better run them through the holes .Give more attention when soldering because a cold solder may cause the circuit not to work properly.At last i generally avoid using electrolytics capacitors for input and output because they tend to leak current and make pops .

[snarblinge]

I appreciate your concern, from memory there is no electro on the in or out... Or are you talking about the electo hanging out on the right? Because that is there to soft start the led, I tend to run them at blinding, and a long time ago fought the led pop. Found this method to work best for me, and implement on all pedals.

I'm keeping this one, so not building for release into the world. Not poking the wire through makes the stomp far easier to recycle, note the one bit of black, that switch came from somewhere else.

[stringsthings]

The Blue Monsters look great.   I made 2 of these a few years ago from the Valhagen DIY files
he posted when he introduced the pedal.  I think it was a contest thread.

[duck_arse]

mmmmmm, blue ....... a nice looking thing indeed.

this is quite a page to end the year, hopefully the next builds are of equal standing and style.

[glops]

Haven't posted in ages.

Here's a Harmonic Percolator. Love this little circuit!

[rutabaga bob]

Nice!  You should post more often!  What are the clipping options?

[Buildtestrepeat]

My latest for a friend who goes by the name Scooter.  Not completely happy with the finish. 

It's a version of the Tubesound Overdrive (by Arsenio Novo)

[allesz]

The builds are unbelivable: Galego, that wah is just scary, I can't belive you didn't buy it. Actually it would be the only way for me to have something this perfect  . And not only for the printed parts, the metal work and wiring are also perfect.
And glops closes the circle with pure art.

I like also a lot the light schem on the Scooter overdrive Buildtestrepeat. Since I breadboarded arsenio novo's tube sound overdrive years ago, with mixed results if I recall correctly; so I never boxed one and played it with a b@nd, can you tell me how does it sound and work?

Btw, HAPPY 2017!

Glops- that is a fantastic scheme. I love repurposed enclosures, this is the bomb   

[glops]

Thanks ya'll!

Nice!  You should post more often!  What are the clipping options?

Sadly, life don't let me build as much these days. For the clipping, I did one option with a 4.7K + BAT 41 and some unreadable I believe silicon diode. Then flipping the switch to a 4001 and some unknown germanium....

Glops- that is a fantastic scheme. I love repurposed enclosures, this is the bomb   

Thank you. Not repurposed though, still have a few of these, which are quite a pain to etch with ferric chloride as they are steel:
