Try searching for "Schumann lion" at the other forum and see if you can hold down your lunch. I'm not normally snarky about build cleanliness, but seeing gut shots of some of the most sought-after boutique boxes makes you realize that, what is important to us doesn't really matter to most players.

that is really crazy. I can't believe someone would market pedals like that.

Little Black Wonder

Wholly Poop-inna-Pita Pocket pal! You nailed this one too. The filigrees the vines almost resemble
the engraving work one can have done on a firearm or edged weapon. That's at $1,000+ per
square inch! Your lines are not only deep but they retain their crisp edge everywhere I look. Did
you go through a lot of R & D to find this perfect resist method. I must try etching a box before I'm
so old and feeble that I eventually put my eye out while picking my nose.
Great looking product by the way,
NG.

Thanks

I didn't do anything special. Method I use is the same method MarkM has taught us. Althought it's a reversed etch, but thats about it.
With a bit of luck, it came out really nice.

Great job kurtlives!

Here is my '12V' Electric Mistress (the 9V mistress running on 12 volts) or a presentation of my poor drilling accuracy .

Came out perfectly. Worked on the first attempt, and was quite easy to calibrate by ear. Sound is awesome. The only thing that bugs me is the well known volume drop, which I'll have to attempt to fix soon...

That looks really great. Does anyone know what font that is?

I'd love to do a green muff - I don't suppose you've done one of your fantastic stripboards layouts for that beast, have you?

mills · October 19, 2009, 01:51:01 AM

Well, I kinda hate to just post an empty box, but I'm pretty happy with it and won't get the time to finish off the guts for a while.

Going to be a superfuzz with a boost (lpb or full range rangemaster) up front. knobs and tone switch on the side.

I didn't flatten the leaf enough so a few pieces will probably flake off. should still look good. I gotta learn to epoxy these as a finish. It seems nice an thick and good to embed stuff in. I can't remember who did it a few pages back, but the box looked phenomenal.

aziltz · October 19, 2009, 02:11:22 AM

its a f****n leaf! I love this!

Actually I have. I'll try and remember to dig it out next time I'm on my home PC and get it up here. The Mids/Diode additions are fairly obvious and simple, and the Clean Blend was achieved by buffering and boosting the clean signal in parallel with the Muff and blending with a dual gang 100K pot with each side connected in reverse as a volume pot, with the wipers connected via 100K resistors, this was then fed into the 1Meg Master volume.

Very nice to see them finished!

What tube is that? it looks more like a triode to me

g. · October 19, 2009, 10:01:30 AM

it's a small pentode 6AK5

we want the schematic!

Finally finished up the ROG Tube Reamer -

Paint is from Lowe's - Martha Stewarts "Celadon Pottery" sample can from the kitchen redo this spring. Labeling is window sticker clear coated 7-8 times. Font is from Font Diner "kocktail Shaker". I pin striped the enclosure before painting and then just peeled it off to create the silver stripes. And it goes with the Tele!

The op amp and diodes are socketed. Right now, there is a TL082 in place. I have tried the TI4558 and it sounds great as well. The toggle is to switch between LEDs and a 4148 paired with a 4001 silicon. As soon as I installed the toggle, I thought "why didn't I put 2 on-off-on toggles in and switch between 4 sets of clippers?!" Talk about a "D'OH" moment. Well, maybe that will give me something to do when the snow starts flying.

A big thanks to Brian from ROG and SpaceAce76 for their help in debugging.
