Show your pedal guts!

[Travis]

I'm so glad to see all the action in this thread these last few days!!

This is freaking amazing Ciaran. When I saw Alex's layout I thought "WOW 1590B friendly!" but then I thought about the transformer and figured it would have to be a 125B.

How the heck did you get that transformer in there? 9mm pots?

Sweet looking build

Zorg Glorious Basstar. polished and etched enclosure with relayed true bypass:

It goes without saying that your builds are sweet, but nice work once again.

Are you polishing these yourself or using the ones from smallbear?

[johnk]

i'm polishing them myself.

[johnk]

two Bit Commanders. one is a 125B and the other in a 1590B. both with relayed true bypass and all top jacks.

Do you clear coat them?

Cheers Zach and Travis!

16 mill Alpha pots with PCB pins and the pot "condoms."  You just might get the lid on if you took the condoms off.  9 mill would be ideal I reckon.  It was the laser cutter I enjoyed the most.  Looking forward to making my own Light Plates and laser etched graphics.

[Beaker]

Yes. If you use a clear acrylic spacer, you can mount the LED internally, and have the light shining out around the base of the pedal.

Great build Ciaran!

Travis, the FM-2 Fuzz Master is really gnarly old school Metal pedal. A close cousin of the Superfuzz, it has a distinct octave down, and more than a touch of ring-mod to it, which mangles chords on some settings. Great for early Sabbath, and does a great Neil Young "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) sound.

[Travis]

I don't like those light plates. I tried them and even with several ultra bright LEDs strategically positioned inside I could never see the freakin light when I used the pedal

That sounds cool beaker, I'll have to give it a go. Make a new little buddy for my Superfuzz :)

Looks like somebody's been busy. You're on a roll John. These are looking awesome

I love the polished look but I tend to scratch them before they make it out the door

After all the amazing builds lately, not sure what value these will add...


JamMix - Electronics Now 10/96

I thought the use of icons might be worth the share...

This 1590BB layout has a mini 2P4T mini rotary tucked under the board.  



1776 Multiplex with Modulation

Probably could have squeezed this into a 1590BB, but I really liked the Echology by Bob Calla retro looking layout.  
 

Catalinbread RAH & Naga Viper

Hard to tell by the picture but the pedal has an old leather look to it, not crazy about the yellow font, was having trouble matching the zoso color and then the file got corrupted.  

[Beaker]

Absolutely love the Muliplex. Everything balances perfectly, and really looks like it could have been an old prototype product. I love the way it seamlessly combines elements of Roland, Binson, and Echoplex styling.

Easily one of the best looking pedals I have seen. Hat's off to you sir!   

[rocket88]

don't sell yourself short MAO, those look great. i've got the multiplex and the modulation board on my bench, waiting to be built. haven't built it yet because i'm still working on the enclosure design. i'm planning on going full out and add the ramp controls as well, so it's going to be a bit of a little monster of a delay pedal. i've also the sagan delay waiting, but the etched enclosure didn't turn out like i wanted, so i've got to start again.

[MAO]

Thanks Beaker! But Bob Calla deserves then credit for the layout design on the Multiplex.

Echology

[MAO]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

This one is 98% finished, but had to post it just due to the size of the vero!

Liquid Mercury - LDR version

125BB (needs LEDs & DC jack installed)

 

(also need to wrap the LDRs/LEDs)
