Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

i have IBS..

do we get a special prize.?

[haveyouseenhim]

a roll of toilet paper

[Jdansti]

Aha.  That kind of special tummy.  I know several people who have Crohn's and a couple with  IBS.  Not fun during flare ups.    I just spent a couple of days with severe gastritis caused by a virus. I can't imagine dealing with those symptoms on a regular basis.

If it's any consultation, I be getting my first colonoscopy soon.  Maybe I'll post some photos of it on the Pictures thread.   

[Jdansti]

Not to change the subject, but I took two steps backwards today on my project.

I should have had a PCB ready to populate, but instead I forgot to put something between the photo paper and the iron and melted the backing to the iron. I had to get that cleaned up before my wife saw it. Then when I had removed the backing of the paper, the toner transfer was backwards.  Grrr!!!    I'll try again tomorrow.

[Perrow]

Did a video yesterday, played for ten minutes or so, only to find out that almost all sound with the pedal engaged was just a little to loud for the microphone 

... are the 26,791 forum members going to show up at my door with pitch forks and torches, drag me out of my house and lynch me?  Probably not.

It's bad enough if one of 'em does

[haveyouseenhim]

You must know my buddy Murphey.

[Govmnt_Lacky]

Bengt, for info, Rule 9:

"9)   Entries WILL provide evidence of a WORKING pedal! Pictures and gut shots are MANDATORY! Must include a video of the pedal in action. Video submissions must show clean guitar through amp, followed by ONLY the built pedal (with NO delay, reverb, etc.) then followed by the built pedal with ANY other effect to make your build unique. We will be judging heavily on the finished product!!!"

I don't have any video clip facilities so was going to ask a friend around to do a video clip with his camera phone. Then, to give a better idea of the sound, I was going to do some mp3 recordings through the PC.

Of course the judges prefer that a good YouTube video be posted however, we recognize the fact that not all forumites will have that capability. As long as you are able to provide the required audio and video bits in the required format.... that will be acceptable  

A short list of what should be included with your submission:

1) Picture(s) of your pedal
2) Picture(s) of guts
3) Proof of pedal in action in accordance with the rules. (Linked YouTube is preferred however, video and audio proof IS REQUIRED in some form)
4) Custom layout to share with forum (optional but considered for bonus judging points)
5) Credit to originator for non-original or partially used layouts (MANDATORY)
6) A brief explanation of the trials and tribulations of your build (optional) 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!
Will be posting information regarding winner announcements, judging time, and prize selection VERY soon!!

I haven't checked this thread for a while.  Went away for a week, came back, and now everyone is talking about poo.

I wasn't going to enter but now I feel that may just be able to produce something to show you, after all.......

Peeeeeeew I think I thought about everything, even if it's not the best presentation... lol I wonder if one of you guys is able to get a batman costume for the video or something like that. That would be 1st price

[oldschoolanalog]

Wear the costume and play the batman theme song (the original from the TV show; complete w/vocals). Might not get you a prize but it will be very entertaining. 

[haveyouseenhim]

I was planning on doing my demo with a fake mustache and a french accent, because when you say 'Pulsewah' it makes you sound french

[Jdansti]

@Tuckster >lol I wonder if one of you guys is able to get a batman costume for the video or something like that. That would be 1st price 
Good idea. I could wear my Batman pajamas!

@Markeebee>Went away for a week, came back, and now everyone is talking about poo.
Given the persons involved this surprises you?

>I wasn't going to enter but now I feel that may just be able to produce something to show you, after all.......
Yea!!!

[Perrow]

Now that it's mentioned I'm more surprised Mark wasn't the one that started that TTD (thread topic derailment).

>I wasn't going to enter but now I feel that may just be able to produce something to show you, after all.......
Yea!!!

Not sure that you should be happy. 

I produced something this morning, and then again after lunch, and probably I'll produce another one before bedtime.  Sometimes I can make up to ten a day, but then the results are usually a bit sloppy.

[markeebee]

I think I may have achieved a new low.  Carry on.

Put it in an inclosure and call it a Brown Sound in a Box.


I heard hammond makes an enclosure just for this          the 1590BM

Nah. You have gone lower...

Now we are approaching "all time low" status.
In "Odorama" too! 

[haveyouseenhim]

Apparently you missed my thread in the lounge.

[oldschoolanalog]

Just when you thought it was safe to see again....
Thanks Mark B...
