no no
i love seeing all these awsome pedal clones
what i meant by that was that he was telling a couple of individual guys off for posting there fuzz factory when there is tones of other clones on here, so why should it matter that they posted f.f. clones

[John Lyons]

Here are a couple things I just finished.





African Makore (top and bottom) and Mexican Kelorba (sides) 1x12" cabinet
Weber Silver Bell Speaker (great sounding Celestion type clone)



1/2" half blind dovetails. 15 coats of linseed oil and polyurathane




Highly figured Makore top. It's amazing how nice that wood is. Well..it was about $90 worth or wood!!!




The back panels are Macacauba wood. Weber "silver bell" peeking out.





Dr boogie in red. Not my usuall wood enclosures but...
...the color is much nicer in person, a great true red texture 1790NS from Pedal Parts Plus (thanks guys!)

Holy crap!!!!!
Your woodworking skills are awesome! That honestly looks
like it was store bought or professionally made. Well the picture is proof positive
that it was pro made.

John, thats REALLY beautiful !

I wish i had some extra cash, so i could "con" you into building one for me !!!

Thanks folks...
The guy who ordered this wanted the wood to be something that would "floor him every time he saw it".
The top of that cab does that for me.

I wish I had the cash to make myself one!

I do have more of that nice Makore wood left enough for another amp cab or Head (top and bottom at least) ....anyone?

OK...i'll bite !  PM me with a price !  I have an Orange Tiny Terror on the way...it would be cool to "box it up" and have a matching cab for it !

[ambulancevoice]

amazing, i must say!

[petemoore]

  For that look the wood was a great deal, WOW is right, the side panel and back are stunning, That's some fine whole grain goodness.
  Silver Bell's a great choice...
  Nothing sounds better than a great speaker cabinet, super nice, I'm sure you'll love having that around !

yeah.. quite obviously it WAS professionally made. (:

with the polyurethane on the outside it will be almost indestructible.

I was going to join in the FuzzFactory "debate" but I'm speechless after seeing Basicaudio's stuff
That cabinet is beautiful.

About the most hard on giving cabinet I've ever seen!!! Man, I would love to have something like that for my little 6.5" speaker wich is about to get redressed with a new cabinet.

Talk about STUFFING an enclosure!
I found about the smallest enclosure I could find in town.
I have some pics next to an mxr small box.
Here's some gutshots of my Rangemaster.

I built this looper on the weekend:



It's a simple project compared to the rebote I'm about to start, but a nice excersise in clean wiring and organization, and enclosure stuff. Also, my only other feedback looper was my first project ever and it shows. It's messy inside and ugly outside, so what the hell!

Stomp on the left is bypass. Stomp on the right is momentary, or at least it will be once I get the momentary part. Right now it's just a regular DPDT. The toggle switch next to the 500k pot does the same as the momentary stomp, only that I can use it feet-free if I'm down on the ground playing the pedals into some phychadelic noise trip. The graphic is just a color inkjet printout on glossy photo paper! I glued it on the painted enclosure with stick glue and caked the whole thing in about twenty layers of clearcoat.

I've also started making my own patch cables, shown in the picture. 

[Tuemmueh]

Have you got the wiring layout for your feedback looper?

btw ... looks just great, love that style!

[darron]

that is some pretty cool artwork! the seem on the top is very neat, and the blobs around external components (can we call these peripherals?) looks cool (:

Wow John - that is a really great job, do you have a special tool/method for making the dovetail joints?

[John Lyons]

Thanks Mojo
I just use an inexpensive craftsman dovetail template and a router. It's a bit fiddly to set up but once you are familiar with what can go wrong and how to compensate it works well. There are small tricks here and there to get it to work but it just comes from doing it a bunch of times and knowing your parameters, as with any skill.

Nicely compressed!

Thanks for the info, I'm looking at turning a 7-ply 3/4"  plywood section into a decent speaker cabinet some day.

From my last experiment  , I know I'll need to practice on some cheap wood for a while.
