That's just a temporary box. I don't have the permantnent one done yet. However, the Blue Box will be turning into a Purple Box.

Everyone needs one of these.

Ok, I might stick with blue for the Blue Box clone, but the paint doesn't seem very durable, it's kinda soft, so I may need to redo it. I need some MXRish knobs too.

Is the golden part marker-painted?

Yep - a Pilot Gold Marker.  Krylon makes a marker called "18Kt. Gold Leafing Pen" that turns out a lot nicer; but the tip is huge & it takes more patience than I have to color in the lines...........

It has all the mods plus I used the A/B switches to swap the caps on C5 and C6 as per a conversation with Paul C.
I would do it different next time with a larger board to hold the clipping section. Also I would use a rotary dial instead of toggles.

I love this pedal. I can get so many different tones with it.

I started this one almost two years ago! I am trying to clean up my mess. I still need to get some nicer washers on the switches.

Is someone a fan of Spacemen Three?  That looks like the cover of the Perfect Prescription album.

I have heard that Sonic-Boom is into some pedal/synth diy too?

Here's my Highway 89.  This pedal ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The switch is there to knock some of the highs off if desired.

I don't know which I like better, the BSIAB or this one.

[ambulancevoice]

how did you do your gain pot?
do you have a schem you used?

[carrejans]

Great sound, except some pops, not always. I should rewire the whole thing; cause it looks like hell inside. In the future I will not wire everything when it's outside the box; and use not so stiff wires.
Not a great finish; none actually; but I like it. Sometime in the future I will try to etch enclosures.

It looks fantastic.  Can you see the edges of the decals?  Just curious.

i used a 1k pot that connects from the emitter of the transistor to ground. lug 1 of the gain pot is connected to lug 2.  thats it, seems to work pretty well.

basically the exact same way the 'Dirt' control is wired in this bazz fusss version:

Thanks - yeah, you can see the edges.

Here's a Red Llama I just finished for my brother in law.

I painted this thing 4 times before it turned out right.  Then when I went to put it together I couldn't fit the circuit board in.    So I ended up making a new layout with a cut out for the power plug.     I'm glad this one is done.....
