What is wrong with you people?!

You need help.  LOL

Needs more oregano.

My fuzz prototype, after tweaks and stuff



Sounds nicer than it looks.

that first photo looks like a slab of perspex, brisance.

[I think my first build for the year is heading for an entry on this thread. depends on whether the paint dries enuff to sand it flat.]

[Brisance]

hehe, it kinda does. Love these ABS boxes though, drill pilot holes with a dremel and handenlarge them with a stepped bit.

@brisance,  that's far too good to qualify for this thread..

The first photo appears to have the pots and switch mounted on the cover, but in the second they appear to be mounted on the inside of the enclosure. This is somewhat Escher-esque!

Looking at it, it might seem like it, but actually they are onthe inside, the cover is the bottom.

main thing, why it's a disaster is becase I really didn't measure the panel component placement and jsut drilled some holes for the pots and inpit/output jacks, also the prematurely drilled hole, meand for the led above the stompswitch, after mounting the switch I realised there's no way I could fit a led there  

Also the ghetto labeling, which uses my patented component storage labeling system(electrical tape + cd marker)

Get yourself a Dymo labeller and make it look like a pre-production prototype of a new cutting-edge stompbox that will make all others obsolete.  We used to do specialized test equipment that way.  Or print to a transparency and glue it on.

^ I've also found that printing on photo paper, gluing it to the enclosure, and then spraying clear laquer on it works pretty good.

I've done this a number of times, but I'm getting better results using adhesive waterproof laser printer paper.  It's thinner and tends to stick better with less mess than the spray on contact adhesive I use with the photo paper.

^ I've heard the same from Mustachio and others. I'll have to try it.

After reading the "laser etched", "etched enclosures" and "1590A" threads, it feels good to see all of this

This is not mine, but I had o post.

Gentlemen (unfortunately no ladies here) I present you The Sardine Wha:



According to the description (and some guessing of mine) there's no rocker and no filter pot. Just a momentary switch that charges and discharges an electro capacitor. The voltage across the cap controls a VCF (I think).

Besides the sardine can, the momentary switch is in fact a pair of screws, so when you're whaing away you can hear the tac tac tac of the screw heads slamming each other.

I think it belongs in here, even if the guy is not in this forum.

Oh but there is a woman here. She was recently having issues with a pedal. Bifbangpow, or something rather is her name.
