here are a few of mine. They are not stomp boxes per say, but i want to apply the same look to some boxes that i will build this summer.

Wow!  Wasn't there a piece in "Make" about your stuff a few issues back?
Try a little tenderness.

Excellent job, Nikolay!! Looks great and is a step up from the usual build..... something to aspire to!!!

It's a bitrate reducer, bitcrusher, degrader, whatever. Much like an older build of mine. Only this one has less bleedthrough (good!), uses one battery instead of two (good!) and has a new "splode" feature which creates some nicely destructive and pseudo-random crackles and glitches along with the sample-reduced signal.

It will only use batteries because the plesant crackle sort of dissapears when on mains power. I might also put an extra minijack to plug a kind of antenna in, since the circuit seems pretty sensitive when the case is open and moved around.

Some amazing looking pedals around here people!

Heres my first ever effect build,it's so simple yet it sounds sick.
Cant wait to get started on the next one,a fox tone machine.

Nice, what did you use to make those baby's? Old antique radio enclosures?

What do you use for speakers?

Not too exciting, just a ruby I made for a friend for her birthday. I mounted the gain pot on the inside... didn't want to drill a hole in the front. Also had to fill the window where the dial was...



I actually used the speaker from the old radio (a 1.5 watt alnico I think). Sounded surprisingly good! I used a 12 volt adapter for a little more output. I tried the noisy cricket mods and, although nice, I felt with the little speaker they didn't add too much. So I went with simplicity.



As an added bonus there are many Japanese Ge transistors in the old radio guts. Gotta test those...

First try with waterslide decals.  I love this pedal!  Did the symmetry and external speed control mods, and made the rate/power led two separate ones, so I can set the tempo with it in bypass.  All I need now is a moog expression pedal or similar...


I gave the clipping diode rotary switch and fat switch mods a whirl... There's a little daughter board sockets for diodes, so the fun really never ends... fat is o.k.  I go without it most of the time.

Hey, this is a diy forum. No posting pictures of the commercial pedal you just bought! :icon_evil:
Whats that? It is diy?
Holly crap thats amazing work there.  :icon_redface:

Seriously, nice control layout and excellent use of fonts on the Lune.

Please, can you post a link to the schematic you used.

  Yupp, PDNice there, sharp contrasts, but not edgey, looks to have 'depth'.
  That black on that offwhite with that font works great !

Thanks a lot!!!  Believe me, to get praise after lurking for so long is amazing. 
I used the schematic off the commonsound site
Also, with a lot of head scratching, and thanks to the geofex article on adding an external expression pedal, it came out basically better than I expected.  Unfortunately the font looks worse up close... some red bled out a little on the inkjet waterslide, even though I coated it before soaking.

Hello,
All of the stuff i use in my work are found objects. Brass , copper steel chrome....I haunt junk stored, thrift stored, yard sales where eve.r  The speakers, if you mean the actual speakers behind the grills are pretty much salvaged from whatever electronics i had dismantled at hand.the grills are all found objects, along with some speaker cloth i bought from a now defunct Radio Shack.  Some of the circuits are built from modded kits, some circuit-bent and some are from scratch. I model the look of my stuff after the art deco and streamline era, and YES  i love those old radios! Thanks, Mike
