Thanks guys. It means a lot coming from you guys. I've been envious of all the work I've seen you all do. Working on two more that I really hope turn out as good.

Hi , I didn't post for a while here...Man, the skills of builders are getting insanely good, it starts to be intimidating to post! :O

Meathead dark:

Modded muff + LPB1:

belton reverb:

Modded PT80 delay:

"bufferless" tube screamer:

Hey little bit out of context, but I was just wondering if I could use a wooden enclosure for a spyder type pedal power supply unit with proper shielding?

snarblinge · April 10, 2015, 04:05:55 AM

Out of context indeed.

Many power supplies are housed in plastic, I don't think wood would be a problem,

just watch the method of joining.

poppyman - this is going to make a few people here laugh, but, I can't see your pictures. I would like to, but "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /image.php on this server. Apache/2.2.19 (Win64) PHP/5.4.5 Server at xtupload.com Port 80" comes up, or a variation of.

is it still just me?

It's just you Duck.. I see them fine.

This is a little side project I have been busy with for several months. Going to post a pic so you know I haven't been slacking...

Edit: thanks italian guy, I actually struggled to post them with the proper size

italianguy63 · April 10, 2015, 11:08:50 AM

Duck has issues.. maybe as many as me.

That particular error is a very typical PHP website backend screwup, either the database is corrupted, overloaded, crashed or a victim of poor coding (PHP is an excellent sandbox for BAD coding- and because it's open & free, it usually *is*). If it now works, it means that somebody fixed it (or the load went away) between Duck getting that error and others successfully viewing it!

I have collated a (mostly original) glossary of IT terms gleaned from my nearly 20 years in this frustrating game... The entry for PHP:
PHP: n: PHP:Hypertext Preprocessor. A server-side HTML embedded scripting language or CGI (common gateway interface). It provides web developers with a full suite of tools for building content-rich and flexible dynamic websites which seem to only ever return "403: Forbidden. You do not have permission to access / on this server", or "500: The database XXXXX is not available"

Chupacabra looks great Marc!

Thanks Russ.. This was actually a prototype...

nice build Mark!

Shouldn't the wolf be facing the other way?

italianguy63 · April 11, 2015, 12:08:41 PM

It's a hairless dog thing.. mythical creature... You guys overthink things.

Thanks Law.. It is a fun thing-- I built a handful of these as it was a team thing with another member. I ended up with a handful of PCB's. There is also a "Lovecraft" Chupacabra OD pedal. This is NOT the same (hence the "Caliente" part of the name). I already got that e-mail as well..

It is a cool little tight build in a 1590B.

Not tight like CozyBuilder!! (Russ).. but tight for ME.

I have a pedal version of the Randall RG preamp that I put in a 1590B that I called El Chupacabras a couple of years ago or so. Demo here if youre interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t_F1fywXTw

Hahahahahhahaha... It was actually very friendly. Don't read too much into it.

It was easiest just to slightly modify the name and avoid any future hurt feelings. "Caliente" also has two meanings. This one is the latter meaning...

It would be a sad day on Earth indeed, if all the South American mythical creatures' names were trademarked.
