Hi there

The Rocket into a watch box





the bottom cover houses very well a battery and a millenium board!

a ha! wow. that must be that passive one we were mucking around with a couple/few years ago. excellent to see it come into a housing! is it actually fairly useable?

[Electric_Death]

How about a finishing wood grain grade plywood, sheet metal lining for shielding and the common, the clever LED ground effects plexiglass bottom with color change LED, see through dollar craft paint any color you desire, a graphic decal, poly sealer and some chrome spikes?
Got started on it tonight!
Couldn't be any cheaper and  will be mighty strong if built right.
About $35 in materials and enough to build probably 80 enclosures.

ehi, yes it is, I didn't use it ofter after having housed it, if I remember well, it's working fine if alone straight to the amp, with other fx the "signal going to ground" (you know what I mean), is too "marked", but I liked the "depth" setting of it! you did a good job m8!, did you go on developing it?

haha.. good to hear (:   yes i know what you mean about it having it's problems.

yeah, i did about 5 different rebuilds, but none of them passive. i'm now offering it commercially. the way it works now is the LDR goes in series with the signal, which then divides the signal between the ldr and a small value to V/2, which then feeds a non-inverting opamp. if you are really interested i can send you a pcb to make one... i assume nobody can really duplicate it too sucessfully without the same LED/LDR combo, but it's much more consistent now and the shape has been refined down.

keep an eye in the pictures! thread... i'll have a video listed on youtube really soon.

EA tremolo in an old CD rom case, hammered and bent all by hand.

It went from this...



To this...

I called it the EA Trem Screamer. It currently lives in the possession of (as far as I know, it still does) author Charles Shaar Murray.

My ross comp.

Why didn't you use a stomp switch?

probably so he doesn't cruch the enclosure...

[Naz Nomad]

I think that was a rhetorical question ... 

[Cliff Schecht]

Not a creative enclosure, but perhaps a creative use of a boring enclosure...

Built this one for a fellow who likes to burn and then inhale various dried plant matter.





I made heavy use of a wind tunnel to ensure the fan provides optimal airflow and cooling of the bowl.

Yeah, right, for a friend..

.

Very funny indeed!

[BoxOfSnoo]

My first non-kit project; a mini-booster with SWTC2, fat-fatter switch, and a spot for another boost (I haven't decided yet)... I don't have any knobs for it yet, either.

Uh... is that actually a pedal with a hashpipe built in?  Or is it a hashpipe disguised as a pedal?

I keep finding cookie tins behind my fridge:


Magnus Modulus


FSH-1 (built this week)

Bought this tin at Value Village:


Foxx Tone Machine

[newfish]

The Boss DS-1 looks interesting.

I was at college with some guys who wanted to make a 'Turbo Bong' from a watering can and some PC cooling fans.

I can neither confirm or deny whether they succeeded...

Yep, Pilsner beer - useful at any condition!
