Pictures!

Pushtone, care to elaborate on why you "cringe when I see powerbars and wall warts on the board"? How do you power your board, if you don't mind sharing?

Because of:

1. the waste of space they take up
2. electro magnetic interference (EMI 60Hz hum)
3. added weight to your board
4. adds to the chaos down stage (beer spillage example as above post)
5. promotes ground loops because you might not be able to plug your amp and pedal board into the same AC circuit.


However, if one or more of your pedals are AC powered with their own 3-prong cord you may not have a choice.

Hmm, ok, all good points. You've given me more questions now, but this isn't the apropriate thread to go in to it. Maybe I'll start a thread tonight. Thanks!

Okay, just a simple Fuzz Face I just finished tonight.
I used Dragonfly's perf layout and germanium transistors from Smallbear at 82 and 128 Hfe. Finally I got a perfectly biased and really warm and liquid sounding fuzz.  I used a box from Pedalenclosures as usual. 

[foxfire]

those sure are pretty boxes. the rounded corners make all the difference. nice job.

[Valoosj]

Still have to put the knobs on.

Wow great etching!
Makes me want to get into etching very fast
The font reminds me of the Discovery (Daft Punk) album cover (http://www.lemonsound.com/visuels/uploaded/daft_punk_discovery_front(1).jpg), am I close?

[dellamorte]

here is my 1st Dragonfly swirl With enamels
i thinned them a touch with mineral turpentine and used a q-tip to apply the paint.

cant wait till its dry !!

You're not close
The word Rock comes from a sticker from the late 80ies, you can find several of them on Jerry Cantrell's guitar. I received a few from a friendly american.
Then a friend added the words box of with photoshop.

Dellamorte, that swirl is very nice!

[Renegadrian]

I agree, definitely great swirls!!! 

[Valoosj]

Ok, it's finished and looking good.

Made this some time ago:



It's a BS170 booster/overdrive thingy with switchable clipping diodes.

[michal_k]

wow, nice, clear etch. i love the font of 'uberdrify' too

[Hanglow]

Can't come close to the artistic merit of almost all your pedals and picture taking ability

Here is a Dr Boogey, made out of a car stereo chassis. I think the flash brings up the sanding....you can't really see that in the flesh



and my in progress firefly - I'd like to refurbish the tatty park G10 cab but I'm very lazy and to be honest my efforts would probably make it look worse. I'm not too impressed with the water slide decals either. You don't want to see inside 

[petemoore]

  Cool Stuff mahn.
  I'd like to try those out, I don't have anything like them here.

I saw the picture of the space age looking ruby amp and the thread about whats the best amp for testing your pedals and got inspired
to build my own bench top micro amp. Heres my ruby, 5" x 5" inch cube with a massive 3.5" speaker 
front inside
side

but wait there's more!!!


it glows!! ha ha how fun is that?

[Timebutt]

Wow, that glow looks nice
How did you get it to shine so bright, perhaps you used a few LED's because my superbright ones are always very 'directional'?

[kawayanstrat]

Here's my latest. I want to save space on my board.hehehe

A fet based micro booster


Here it is on my board.


I just looove unfinished pedals.

[12milluz]

^^very nice! What circuit did you use in the little booster? Do you have a schematic?

Nice one, Beros, could you please explain better the circuit or post it, if you don't mind sharing?!


Timotet, nice glow there...It's an eye catcher for sure!!!
