Really nice build! +1 for reusing the VCR shell!   

[Leston Braun]

a Wah I built for myself, basic Crybaby-circuit tweaked with the help of R.G.'s article about wha's. Rotary switch for 4 different modes of operation; thin, normal, heavy and bass. Polished treadle will most likely oxidize with time, but that's life. The case is painted with 2k car paint mixed with matting agent and texturizing agent.



And the guts:

Some new ones, obviously not in the same league as some of the stuff on here, particularly those etches. Beautiful!

Really beautiful build.. Very organized and clean wiring, congrats!

Great looking wah, very classy.

What's with the mini toggle mounted inside? Very intriguing...

Thanks! The toggle changes the direction (treble end for the heel) of the wah. First wah I've ever played with was a rehoused Ibanez Wau Wau Fuzz (with the fuzz section omitted) which had the direction reversed, and while I've played with "normal" wha's more, I wanted to have the option for reverse wha. Probably won't ever touch the switch, but "If it could be built, I shall build it". Spent quite a lot of time to make the aluminium standoff for the switch btw..

First good pedal I've ever built:



Foxx Tone Machine in a steel enclosure that I designed and built from 18 gauge cold steel.

[Kearns892]

That enclosure looks great, very old school vibe.

Geoff thank you!!
I build my first wha following a schematic on a magazine, then I stole my keyboard player's volume pedal and put the whole stuff in. Only, I never had played a "real" wha, then I built it "reversed"...
I guessed to be the only person in the world...
By the way I feel reversed whas kinda "onomatopoeic", 'cause you'll "open" the sound the same way you'll "open" your mouth to simulate it...

Awesome enclosure, Matt.  Are you thinking of selling enclosures?

[Slade]

I love that enclosure, matt...  
I really want one of those...

Here's the last I made, it's a Super Modified Univox Superfuzz!

Well I never thought of it, but it could be done, certainly.  PM me if you're more interested.

Hi all,

OK another ...not a pedal but... is a great platform for testing/auditioning them. Built it some time ago based on a Fender 5f2a schematic that was on,  i think, Steve's Amp Pages which seem to be MIA,  to use as a tube auditioner for my little collection of tubes. Turned out to be great with pedals as well, turned up plenty loud enough it stays clean so you get a good aural picture of what is going on with the pedal.

  Has parallel preamp sockets so i can try out  the various tubes of the 12a_7  family, the 6s_7  family as well as the 6eu7's that i have, (allows parallelling the different types too).  Can run fixed bias or adjustable/cathode bias and has a switchable 4k/6 OT primary for the different octal output tubes stashed away someplace.  Switchable cathode caps on the preamp triodes so when needed - lots of snarl. NFB can be varied or turned off if not wanted.

Had just used transparencey/overhead film and clear packing tape to make labels when i first put it together but this week finally got around to doing a faceplate.

Take care
dave

That's a great looking build Dave!

I really like your construction technique. You seem to over design while being creative, I love doing that with my builds as well.

Do you have a schem for this? A few things intrigue me...
Whats the transistor on the bias board do?
What do the three knobs on the front do?
Are the two 3R resistors in parallel to drop the heater voltage?
What octal are you running now? Looks to stat with 5...5881?

Anyways, looks like a killer amp.

overdrive inspired by one of john lyons super pedals!! this was really fast and easy, i cant wait to experiment with more wood/metal combos

And you say that I am the best at making beautiful products?
That's beautiful, Rick, awesome color and amazing work.

Hi
Since amps have become more common here I thought I would show mine too. 

As you can se it is not finished yet. It's called Pravda. its a two channel aprox 2W apm. The preamp is based on the SOVTEK MIG 50 head. And the power stage is based on the Fender Champ but with an EL90 as power source. Its a back to back transformer setup with an 12V-1A AC wall wort and a 12V-2A transformer, the one on the top. After rectifying, the HP delivers 265V (we have 240V 50 Hz here)





More pics and sound samples when I have had time to finish it

[earthtonesaudio]

Looking cool, Anders!  A question though: is it safe to leave the grid floating like it is on the first triode?

[T1bbles]

Here's the first pedal that I've done that could be described as 'aestheticaly pleasing', all the others have been in very basic unpainted enclosures. It's a wah probe workalike, the wah circuit is the colorsound inductorless wah



It's replaced my Dunlop Crybaby GCB-95, I like it that much
