Show your pedal guts!

2N404 Fuzz Face with pregain instead of normal "fuzz" control and 100n output cap. Sounds amazing. I have another one in orange but use this unfinished one as my #1 fuzz for single coils

tondo, great job man, especially on your first vero. now how did you get the superlead 4pdt switch to have make all the changes in the circuit and have an led. i've been planing on doing just that, but i thought you'd need a 5pdt switch to have the led, cause there aren't enough lugs on a 4pdt switch.

What I did was just wiring a fixed setting for one of the switches so I would have one pole left for the led. If you really want all the switching you indeed need a 5dpt. This way of wiring was suggested by Johnk I think somewhere on the DLSIII page.

[rocket88]

yea that's what i figured. thanks buddy.

Hey Mark, check it out I've got this wired up to some pots and jacks on my breadboard and it sounds sick. Wooden boards 4 lyfe

[IvIark]

Awesome.  Told you the results look good.  And when a build looks that good it just has to sound great too!

[Travis]

Thankfully it sounds as good or better than it looks :D

I'd sure be disappointed if I used all these cool parts and it didn't sound great. These should sell for a premium :o Thanks for the awesome idea

[rocket88]

that is one mojo-tastic board. it's freaking gorgeous.

Nice work man! Where did you get the eyelets from?

[Travis]

Thanks rocket and inefficiency

I got the eyelets from tubes and more. They're good if you're in the US, otherwise you're probly better off with Mark's link.

[inefficiency]

Awesome.

Also, what are those LEDs called? I've seen them on a lot of builds and always liked the look of them, but I have no idea what to search for.

[Silver Blues]

Those are LED holders called Fresnel lenses.

Something a bit different:

Casper Electronics Echobender. This was built for use with a drum machine, hence the toggle switch instead of a footswitch, and top mounted sockets to reduce desk space.

TC Electronics Spark Booster clone:



it actually fit in a 1590B:

Hey John, what circuit did you use for the relay bypass in the Spark?

[johnk]

a Monomonster RPM.

Here's mine!

Since there wasn't much real estate for the lettering of each of the knobs - you'll notice lettering on each knob.

Level, Tone, Drive

The lettering on the knobs and the knob style will be a signature I intend on using for all the pedals I build...

[Silver Blues]

That is actually a really good idea. I like the style overall, basic but gets the job done.

Looks great!  Must be the special "Limited Edition" version of your pedal.

Right now, all my completed pedals are label-less...

I recently purchased some dark t-shirt transfer material and will try that out when I get the opportunity.  I like using pre-painted (powder coated) enclosures, so I hope the t shirt transfers don't require too much heat to adhere to the surface lest I mar the paint.

[rocket88]

frank, i've heard that the t-shirt transfer method doesn't work on painted or powdercoated boxes. but i have my fingers crossed that it does, cause the all my pedals can finally get labels, i've been way too lazy to make the screens i have planned for them.

[Frank_NH]

Well, look at Kit Rae's instructions at his site:

Kit Rae's T-shirt transfer labelling

He appears to paint the enclosures first then applies the transfer label.  I think most powder coatings are robust enough for this provided you use modest heat.  As always, test on scrap first!
