Hey! Im glad we are entering the weekend! I have to populate my Zombii Fuzz an looking forward to it!
What r ur plans?
Great weekend Everyone!!!
I've got 3 that I'm actively working on.
GuitarPCB Industrial fuzz. Tested it last night, now I need to design a layout & box it.
1776 Multiplex with Modulation. Tested a couple of weeks back, completed the layout, need to start drilling the enclosure.
Madbean's Harbinger One. Soldering components done, need to wire it up and test it.
Not sure how much I'll actually get done this weekend. I also want to figure out what should be next.
I have a harbinger and sharkfin stuffed. Hope to rock them both this weekend, and if all goes well, I may even box them.
Me? I'm boxing up my pedal board looper, just a simple Guitar In -> send to PB -> rec from PB -> Out to Amp. I have an old tube(tubes RCA Victor) console with a radio and record player I'm tearing apart and moding into an alcohol storage facility. That it has TONS of old school parts that I can possibly rob and make use of is a bonus. Does that count?
I've got a couple of customer builds to finish, and also some new stuff to build up (Tonmeister V2 etc).
I'm really itching to get back into the building now that summer has officially left the UK!
When the sun is shining my urge to sit in my dark lair diminishes considerably ;D
edit: Just realised I've passed my 1000th post without noticing; how did that happen !?! :o :)
Amp retubing and biasing for me.
Josh
Oh wow! What a question!
I think I have about 25 drilled enclosures I still need to fill, including some fun ones that are for me or for clients.
But I'm going to the Argos/Riders game on Saturday night. So stoked! I love the CFL!

Rewiring an Darth Fader from OLC that once belonged to the Dead Ranch Hands. A total spaghetti dinner of solid core was inside. The creator must have uttered no less than 1,000 swear words during it's shameful creation. OLC boards make me eternally grateful for the nice fabbed PCB's we get here. Other than that, I'm going to populate a Militant Chili, a Dist+, TB MKII, and both top secret pcb's from jkokura's top secret pcb bundle sale. Which was top secret btw. Awesome.
After coming off of (for me, anyway) a string of boxing completed boards (okay, just two!), I have a couple of boards I want to finish populating and hopefully test. They're a vero NPN hybrid Fuzz Face and a "stock" specs Pepper Spray. But it's going to be really nice here so I'll be lucky to get to any of it! My family does like to play. I get way more done in the winter.
I just finished up a home etched Nautilus. I'll post the demo and build report sometime this weekend.
Moving my daughter to her new apartment. She will be a Junior at Oregon State this year.
Possibly drinking.
Boxing up my pharaoh build.
Great question. My main plan, besides to actually spend time outdoors in this sweet late summer, im gonna give my recent build Reamp and DI-boxes a serious shot:) ... Record some Music, that is.
...
Cheers
Got a fuzzface to build, a Bender to make better and a nasty thing to test/build... Amongst many other things.
Well, I think I'm a couple of switches short of being able to rock my Deadringer, but other than that I'm hoping to vero and rock:
SHO-CrackleNotOk
NE-1 bass preamp
Really Cheap Bass Compressor (if I can make it to the local for parts)
and populate and rock a Haberdasher Sea Urchin board.
No boxing most likely. No enclosures and a lack of stomp switches, although these are for multis most likely.

Chimaera baby!
Some amp mods, I think.
And I have to test a new fuzz idea/circuit.
Im working on that FET Reverb unit from this thread
http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=11436.0 (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=11436.0)
I'd like to get my second dirtbag boxed up. I'm busy today and tomorrow morning, though.
Cramming a stupidly large circuit (think 1590bb) into a 1590A, with a board mounted 3pdt, using SMD, in eagle.
I think I may have gone insane.
Repairing a really nice Orange (even though it's black) Rocker 30 that went poof. Am trying to make headway on a bunch of Chi-Boy boards and gotta wrap my head around cutting the grass for one of the last few times as Chicago gets its Fall colors on.
By the way, this thread is worthless without pics. I expect a bevy of them from you guys on Monday.

Possibly building a crash sync + LFO, but I really can't concentrate on anything. I seem to have a cold or flu piled on top of allergies. So realistically, I'm probably sleeping a lot. And making soup. Mmmm.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Since I have today off work I'll start with my progress. Here is the etched PCB for the Surfy Bear FET Reverb

The old rubadub will be switched for Tenebrion also.
I'm putting together the Azabache this weekend, can't wait to try biasing the FETs :-\
+1 to LaceSensor for having a MicroSynth on your board!
Boxing an 8 stage ross phaser.
Now that we've made it through the flooding OK and it looks like things are calming down, I get to get back to working on stuff. I've got to figure out the switching for a 3-in-1 pedal and then I can box it up. I hope to finish that this weekend.

Grrrr. I don't have the 3PDT stomp lying around that I thought I did.
I'll be in a mix session all weekend, but today I populated a Dist+ and a stock Pepper Spray. Unfortunately, one of my 1N695s cracked open as I was bending the leads to get it into the socket, but hopefully Steve at Small Bear will replace it...this happened with my last Pepper Spray build, too. I wonder if they just had a bad batch or something.
I don't have any enclosures drilled, but hopefully I'll get at least one finished next week.

Jon, I so feel you. I'm ill, like two weeks now. If you guys know it, I have "infectious mononucleosis", AKA the Kissing Disease. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_mononucleosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_mononucleosis))
It's really common to young adults, like me (I'm 21 years old.). It really tires you, and you don't want to do anything.
Read the link. There's a really interesting list of symptoms. You'll see what I go through. ;D

and here is mine!..

Sharkfin is in need of a 2m pot, harbinger needs a light shield. Maybe I'll work on the enclosures.
SHO and NE-1 succesfully rocked, yet remain unboxed. Seem to be missing a couple of resistors from my Sea Urchin bom order though and I'm waiting for some pt2399s to arrive from evilbay.
Cripes, the NE-1 is a nice sounding bass preamp. If you play bass at all, check it out.
I will mostly be trying to get to know Eagle.
Change of plans! Despite the flood debris and destroyed roads everywhere, my OSHpark order got here two days early. I'd much rather solder than drill boxes during what is supposed to be another rainstorm tonight. So, I'll be testing my PCB tonight.
XP ALL builds!!!! 8)

Looper may be the wrong word.
It's a dumb box - I/O only no real circuit. It has 4 jacks, and each pair are connected. Top right jack gets the Guitar input, the top left connects that out to the first pedal. Go through all the pedals , plug the output of the last pedal into the bottom left, and connect a cable bottom right to your amp. Makes the board a little more portable.
I had a really bad blemished 125B that I got from Tayda (deep scarring , warped top, uneven lid, they credited it) and I thought it would be useful. Even after sanding I couldn't get the top flat enough for an etch - but it looks like it's been on the board for years. Used it at rehearsal Sunday, worked like a champ

Same here. Well done!
Speaking of XP ALL, I've got a XP100 I need to get to work on!
Need to get some parts on order. ;D
I think I'm all soldered out for the meantime. I've finished populating (after starting last weekend and having to order more parts):
AMT cab sim
Really cheap bass compressor
Tonemender
Sea Urchin
Thats on top of an ne-1 and an sho clone last weekend.
Gotta go rock them at some stage... the NE-1 and SHO are verified..
Just got the parts to finish up my Karate Shop this weekend.
Can't wait for some awesome cocked wah goodness! ;D
hmmm...
reviewing 1590A boneyard layout . . . :D
and maybe relayout sea urchin for 1590A also... :D
my target for this year to nex mid year is: bloviatorII - smoothie - boneyard - sea urchin (or zero point micro) - cabinet simulator and splitter in one box (undecided schems yet; any suggestion?)
ciaooo... :D
Hhehe! I this tooic will stick!😜
Im finishing my Zoombii and startung the preparation on a breadboard of the sea urchin! Nice weekend ahed! Don work too hard today guys!
Cheers
I'm going to be working on finishing up some SMD designs and get them sent off to the fab house hopefully

I'm hoping to get some final troubleshooting done on a 1590DD Triangle '66 + Green Russian muff box. Boxed it up during the week but the Triangle side is lacking volume (which is not normal for a muff!). It's a fun project originally designed for a dual output 8 string "guitar" (3 bass strings, 5 guitar strings, Charlie Hunter inspired). The thought is that it can run with the "bass" output through the green side and the "guitar" portion through the triangle side, creating different yet related tones. It can also be jumpered with a small patch to run them in series for double muffy goodness :)

At the point now where big orders are unavoidable.
I'm going to vero up a SHO, and have that after the 5-band EQ in one box. I still have to get a 1550G for the PLL (going to have the drone and momentary in the same box, as per Digi2T, makes sense to me), and a fancy Hammond for the phaser. The Avalanche can go into a 1590B :) (First PCB I've ever gotten on a "Thank you!" Hallmark card! :) )
The blurred out board is a secret, not to be told until I have permission 8) }:-> That's for a 1790NS!
I hope to fix my aquaboy, which for some reason stopped working. Now it's only clean out!
Finish up and rock throw following:
Current lover
Timmy
Stage fright
Tenebrion reverb
Maybe box them next week
I'll be re-painting a box that I pulled a decal from. The box has been in and out of storage so many times that the decal got damaged :( Also going to paint a box for one of my own FlexiMuff boards, and order the remaining parts and make the drilling templates for Project "I". If (and that's a big if!) I get this done and still have some time left, I'm going to re-wire my Boneyard. Busy day ahead!!
Paul
Me....
After finished the sea urchin and finally boxing, the damn thing isnt working! It was something with the dc wire in the pcb, after re soldering no delay at all! Now will be probably all sunday trying to debug!!
Yesterday I messed in Diptrace with my Nurse Quacky and Sweet Honey OD SMD layout and today I finally soldered up an Azabache board I got waaaay back from Ronan over at diysb... not sure yet if I'll be boxing it as a single or a dual pedal.
Not much but I'm going through a bit of a slump lately so every little bit counts. ;)
sorry, double post.
sea urchin and tremulus lune done

and here's the rest of the board

now, I just finished boxing my boneyard using my own layout into a 125b enclosure. it sounded really great.

I failed...... First box also needed 2 extra holes for LED's and shattered under my dril bit!! Was a genuine Hammond BB, dang it! Second box went ok, the rest isn't ready, but might get done tonight.....

My goal today is to get my SwampRat and my GreaseGun boxed up today. I am in love the the GreaseGun, great sounding pedal. I had a Mouser order show up yesterday, so I have some parts to start/finish a few others, not sure what they are off the top of my head. Coffee then to the cave.
Damn it. I had to correct my stupid English..eheheh
at least on the title should be correct...hahhah
sorry guys!!
Recapped my Fender Blues deluxe, upgraded to switchcraft jacks. Populated a few boards, ROG peppermill. Going to try out some laser vinyl labels. Need to place an order with Tayda if I can find my list.

Being superbowl weekend I'm not sure if I'll finish all I've got in line. I have a Lavache I've finished the box for and need to wire it up. I have the Paisley drive that needs to be boxed now and I want to get the Sharkfin box painted, decaled and Envirotex'd.
I need to etch a few boards and I need to re-house a Bonyard II for a friend. Other than that, nothing that "NEEDS" to be done but I am sure I will find something to build. lol
This is my weekend goal!
Jimmy that etch is awesome!
I got a drill press this week and went all Juan & Cleggy on these..... I've already rocked the corresponding circuits. Hoping to box them this weekend. Wiring will have to be completed in a few weeks.

Well I'm working nightshift weekend...but I plan to read about building all three nights on here with you guys...have some z's in the am, then finish my stage fright enclosure, populate more of my abdx, and hopefully by Sunday be starting my weener.
i'll be installing a bump box on my drag car and doing some maintenance on her too, weather permitting. if the weather doesn't cooperate, im gonna box a mastodon fuzz for a Bud of mine. i'll be experimenting on a box repair in between all of this.

On the one hand, my AP logo is cooler than yours.
On the other hand, your graphics are cooler than mine :) I really like the fractal on the Tenebrion one!
More ontopic, I've already got my major goal complete for the weekend.
I was going for an "ethereal" graphic in the reverb.
My buddy designed the graphic for me, I love it. It's hard to see but there is a little sound wave going through the "A".... It's much better than something I could come up with.

It was done by Phreek over on byoc but the picture was one used by my band for a flyer.
I love my drill press, enjoy!
And new I also knew what "going all Juan and cleggy" meant also.
After having the PCB populated for months, I finally drilled out the enclosure for my Zero Point SDX earlier in the week and threw it on the test rig. It fired up first try, so I'm aiming to box it over the weekend. Might try replacing the 3PDT in my Op-Amp Muff too, I think the one I have in there might be bad.
I'd also like to finally populate the Tonebender PCB I got from Stomptown earlier last year. It's time I got that going.
Feeling ambitious.. Going to draw up plans to fit two tiny drive boards into a 1590a..
Got them all done like I wanted. The 15v electric mistress is turning out to be difficult to trim. The other three sound great!

That's a solid plan right there.
This weekend was a catch up weekend. Its almost over (aus) but I got a lot of stuff done:
- Built a tap tempo for my strymon bluesky and recorded / edited the video for it
- Built and tested the new project PCB on my store, "Night Drive" (lovepedal eternity in 1590a) boxed and shoot /editing the video for it (hours of work right there).
- Powder coated 3 enclosures
- Tested new version of the fabbed 3pdt wiring boards
Nice to see some progress, family life is a busy life.

I was planning on hooking up the pots and maybe rocking a few populated veros, but I dunno if I can be bothered.
Well here is a sneak peek at what I'm working on along with a few pedals, hope to finish another wah and a professor tweed. Finally warm enough to paint some stuff. I finished while it was snowing. Enjoy!(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/16/8u5uzu7a.jpg)
I've got stupidly long days at work all through the weekend (Fri-Sun) so haven't got time for anything. When I get home tonight I'm going to try to finish designing a drilling rig design so I can take it down to my local laser cutting place tomorrow. Hopefully the acrylic pieces will join together nicely, then fit snugly over the a box for 100% accurately drilled holes every time.
And if I get time tomorrow before work (thankfully it's a shorter day), I want to finish up my label design for a couple of boards I got from Pickdropper.
So much to do, so little time.

Hey Jimi! Is this a precision bass body? Looks very nice in natural wood. Which finish did you use? Shellack? :P nitro? Please update when its all finish! I like the painting job work, but i dont have much space what turns everyghing in a nightmare!!
It is a pbass body. The finish is an amber finish for wudtone.com it's pretty easy to do and doesn't require much space and has very little fumes that dissipate quickly. I will definitely post it when I am done.
If my fabbed pcbs come in from osh park, I'm making something very cool this weekend, you guys will dig it(I think)

I'm hanging for my madbean order to arrive - Egghead, Pork Barrel, Hipster!
I need to box it my Zero point DD and a trebble booster in my first 1590a coated with epoxy (first nighmare trial...).
Good luck to all!!!

Today, I'm ordering loads of parts and taking a bunch of boxes to be milled. Tomorrow I'm gonna start building up loads of boards, on Monday I'm picking my boxes up and gonna coat them and take them back to be laser etched. Hopefully by Wednesday I'll have another 4 pedals done :)
Sent from my thumbs using Tapatalk!
I just placed a couple decent sized orders with Mouser, SB and Tayda, for a couple Kraken's, Pork Barrels and Klons, but I have to wait for Brian to get the boards in here. Beyond that, I'm finishing up the last of 4 Klones I built for friends.
I think I'll box up my Smoothie and Bacon Bits. Then it's on to finish the MXR Dist+ mods and debug a Rebote 2.5 vero I'm working on...oh what's this? The marketing guy at my work just gave me a whole stack of high gloss blank white paper. Might try and etch a couple of boards too!
Still test driving a big muff variant, dialing it in for a Vibrolux. Bread boarding a BSIAB2 with the amz tone control 6 and probably a bandaxall eq just to see how it sounds. Then if I have time, bread boarding a few compressors. Unfortunately nothing is ready to box up at the moment.
Just finished a q-zone and I'm patiently waiting for the nom nom, sunking 2.
Just boxed a GuitarPCB Fuzzy Bee/"STINGER" with my first clear Decal....Next is a Cap'n Munch and a Zeropoint DLX to box and graphic up....
Let's see. We've 7 enclosures now ready to go:
2x Superjudges (one each)
A commisioned Cherrybomb (awaiting board)
A commisioned Pit Fighter (awaiting board)
Cleggy's Duovibe
Cleggy's Face Bender
Cleggy's Kraken
My Multiplex re-house (turning it into a Multiplex Deluxe Reverb)
Then there's today's work... Sorting out the layout for a 5-in-1... Not really looking forward to that one.
I'm having granny's klon laser-etched. If the parts come in Saturday I'll finish it.
Also building another orange smoothie compressor.

Not something you hear everyday. Awesome.
Do list this weekend (hopefully)
15v Pork Barrel
Opamp Muff (rullywowr pcb)
V1 Boneyard and inline buffer
Hope to build and box but its a tall order
I have a DuoVibe and Rully's King Tut that needs to be boxed. I woke up yesterday with a crazy backache and its still bothering me today. I tried to sit at my bench for a few minutes and it was just killing me. Well, thats my sob story.

The results are in:
Egghead - working. I'd probably built up my expectations to high for this. It's ok, but not earth shattering.
Pork Barrel - working. Seems pretty subtle... but it is pretty nice.
Hipster - all the gain is bunched up at the last mill of pot revolution and it osciliates flat out. I'm going to have to a)bias the timpot properly, and b) follow the suggestions in the build doc re: C1 and a reverse log gain pot.

It's the dirtbag II and it's sounds amazing. I built it's with two mn3005 and I'm running it at 15v. It will take a few weeks to get it boxed. I have an optotron ready to get boxed with it. Since it fired up and worked so easily I got a few of these made as well. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/10/umavyzyv.jpg)
Somehow I forgot transistors, so this will be a bit as well.

Built 2 of these, gave one away. Gorm shelf pedal boards.
+1 for the Gorm shelf. I've built 4 of them. Incredibly dependable.

Still working on that, I'm trying to decide if I want the mxr supply on the board or under the board.
Under.
Hey Jimi, those look great!
Is there a DIY article on those somewhere?

Just google IKEA combined with GORM and you'll get the idea.... brilliant stuff BTW!

Very cool.
Testing a Brutalizer (rullywow), Demeter Compulator work alike and Modding Zero Point DLX (hopefully) before boxing..
Well not real boxing...but putting stuff into enclosures...hehe.
Lets all get together and have a pedal party!
Im at a wedding tomorrow so I had to make time tonight to try out my all Lovetone board
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjRQPZ-IUAALfsk.jpg)
Not much going on here. Just dropped off the BOM for THC's balanced output PCB at my local Jaycar. Won't get that till next week or so.
... Need to re-do my mudbunny and the pcb is almost ready to populate. Double flush is also ready buy waiting some candies hopefully today!
A cupcake need to be boxed and some swirl job need to be done!
Buuusy weekend :)
I'm trying to get the squarewave and octave up sections of the EHX microsynth entered into eagle, so I can build a fuzz pedal out of them
8)
I am going to attempt to try another revered etch on a 125B. I really need to get one made and sent off but I have not been happy with the results on the 125B enclosures.
I have a C4 compressor and my Sunking II I need to box up.

How is the C4 compressor? Im boxing a cupcake. It was a sugestion of the fellows here regarding less tone alteration...

I ve got a Univox Univibe in my hands, the weekend is dedicated to that.... :D
tomorrow is the day for measuring trannies voltages and resistors.
I hope by the end of the month I will finally make a nice replica of this great effect.
I've been picking away at the Solderman 1590a Tri-Vibe lately. I've got the box drilled and am just about to start on the offboard wiring. Fingers crossed!
No serious plans this weekend, but my Tayda ordr arrived the other day, so I have a vero Crunchbox to test, and Hipster to replace the 1k pot on, and a Gainster on vero I may or may not test. I have a stack of vero builds to test actually...
I've gig two rub a dub deluxe that I'm going to so a dry lift mod on and see how they sound in series
Flying to Brazil for the worldcup and will be not building for 2 weeks! Well, at least will try to get some pots there! And beers and gals!:)
Working on finishing a few circuits I had set out since spring break. Selling some stuff to fund more purchases.

2 weeks! Good grief, I'm in the wrong country.
I'll be powdercoating a crybaby wah shell for my Weener build
For a collosalus build. Etched and polished last night with paint following. Did a touch up on the paint this morning, killed an hour and started clear coats. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/14/y7eva5e4.jpg). Still have 9 more different build enclosures to layout and etch. Maybe next weekend I'll have all of then done.

That etch is awesome. I just ordered some fr4, but until that arrives I am working on finishing up my all in one and headphone amp. And getting a buffer into my ernie ball vp

The off season just started, so on the one hand, I have four or five weeks of beer and building.
On the other hand, no money coming in so I have to be careful with how much I spend.
Heaven and Hell!
Well, at least I have some pcbs on the way :)
3 day weekend and I know what I am going to work on already.
I got some web work to do and SQL maintinance but other than that its all about pedals.
Populate:
Moodring
Super Judge
Need to be boxed:
Chasm Reverb
4 knob FF
That should keep me busy for sure.
Cody
I'm part-way through my first Green Bean build and realized that I'm missing my 10R and 220R resistors (they're on their way now with another order from mklec).
I still need to debug my Pork Barrel board, but don't have my Testing Rig from Jacob yet. (Yeah, I started with one of the harder pedals and didn't have a test rig or probe - I know I did it backwards, lol!)
And my Little Angel, the first pedal pcb I populated, is one of those where the effect is extremely faint, so I'm pretty disappointed in that. But it appears that's probably not my fault, since that's a pretty popular problem with that circuit.
So when my stuff gets here I'm looking forward to the Green Bean build to lift my spirits, lol! Then off to make a Snarkdoodle Llama for a friend of mine because he's a Way Huge fan.
Hopefully populating a zero point micro II board then maybe box it up if I have any time.
Too much to do, too little time! It's my last full weekend off before I go back to work (summer season in my job is awful so I'm pleased to have had it all off). Got planned, big bike ride today and going out tonight, start wiring up my friends Vulcan bomber flight sim tomorrow (replacing hus current flight deck), big bike ride on Monday with a pub lunch with a friend. Between all this, want to get the laser cutter wired up and working (been procrastinating on it again) and the control panel designed and cut, reply to several threads and PMs, build up my SHO boards, drill and powder coat boxes and get the SHO boards installed with everything else, order more various boards from iTead, and I'm sure I've forgotten about 10 things I need to do.
Just did my first reflow and it worked great. I'm going to do a batch next.
Finish of my relay switching project and then start my tap tempo LFO code 8) hopefully I can PIF some PCBs when I'm finished.
Finally started on my rub-a-dub deluxe. Took a few minutes to troubleshoot my EMG install that has been sitting around mocking me for a few months and finally figured it out. If you really pay attention to the diagrams, if you do a Les style wiring, you connect the pickups on different spots to the volume pots. I kept racking my brain trying to figure out why they worked fine if I wired up just a single pickup with no switch.
Finally started to gather my thoughts around what I wanna build next.
I will probably do a 3 in 1 of sorts consisting of the TH Custom Dr. Phil, Hyperbolic from Rob, and lastly, the 1776 Bee Baa.
After that, the Harbinger One. I've been out of the hobby for some time and I wanna return victorious :D
Regarding the charge pump needed with the Harbinger and Phil doctor - I've read somewhere that it can deliver only 100mA right? I do have an 18V out from my power supply thats regulated and isolated and unused, but it is 100mA, exactly. Would that be enough for the Harbinger One? I've read the build doc but probably missed the current draw somehow sorry guys...
Currently in Italy driving around various race tracks and realising how massively unfit I am.
I'm in the same boat as JS, so my building time has (mostly) been replaced by cycling time, cause I'm tired of being a fat bastard.
Generally speaking, I don't mind being a fat bastard. You can't be small and contain this much awesome... But 20 mins before I can barely hold my head straight through some of the faster corners and today (the day after) having many parts of my body aching that don't normaly, means that I really need more seat time in the car to build up the required muscles again.
The catch 22 being that the cost of that seat time is so prohibitive now that I've broached selling my half of the car to the co-owner... Sad, but necessary... :( It's no bloody good that when I do get to drive the thing, I can only for short periods.
Bah, 1st world probs ;)
Juan I've had the same problem in karts. When I'm in shape I don't only feel better, I'm more competitive. I've actually had people tell me that they know they will be able to pass once my head starts lean over cause I'm visibly tired. I'm gonna get back in racing shape this year.
This is my first year off. I'm not complaining. I've been focusing on my sons setup.

That's pretty cool though 8)
Yeah, kind if blew my mind when I out the GPS on... 53mph going in to a sweeper.... Not bad for an 11 year old kid

Nicely done. I'm on track to be down 18 this month, but I still got another 80 to go after that.
Keep with it brother!
Also of note, I'm planning a trip to Calgary for a conference in March.
Jacob
I'll (hopefully) be in the new house by then. Book an extra day if you can, you can (probably) stay at our place for the extra night if needed (won't know til probably October as to when final date will be).
Was a productive Sunday pedalwise:
- Fixed the whine in my Boneyard, just found that the vol knob will whine if turned all the way up. Shouldn't be an issue as I don't think it needs to go anywhere near that loud to get unity with the effect bypassed.
- fixed the pot placement of said Boneyard as I'd labeled the enclosure wrong, so the crunch and high gain had to be extended and holes switched.
- Tidied up the wiring inside Terminus, and secured the veros to the doublesided tape with hot glue. Now you'll stick you bastards. Found I'd grounded everything to everything else, except nothing was actually grounded to the power ground, so nothing worked until I fixed that...
- Wired the outboard hardware to a Haberdasher Deadringer etch and rocked it. It's ok, will probably box it. Maybe. Still got a stack of other boards to box first.
Hopefully I'll finish up the laser build tonight, just need to do a few more wires, and it should be done. Not sure how to get the Z table working though, but I'll try sorting it another time. If the laser is working, I'll get it all calibrated, and my drilling templates all cut out. Hopefully I'll also have time to test out 2 Smoothie boards I've built up. But first, around 20 miles ish bike ride down by the river, really like it down there, but not sure how far I'll get as it was raining quite heavily yesterday and it makes the mud track near impossible to pass on places.
Tweaking production fixturing. Fun.
Need to go through my envelope follower / synth guitar interface, moog vcf, and mixer parts list and see what I need to order.
What is actually getting done is drinking a lot and listening to great youtube music.
The best kind of beer is the kind that comes in 1.5L bottles, is 7%, and you can't see more than a millimeter into it's obsidian interior.
Get the laser cutter control panel designed and cut out, make the wiring a bit neater, find settings to cut acrylic and removing paint off enclosures without burn marks, watch the F1, celebrate tonight as I was supposed to get married today which would have been a massive mistake (she cheated so I had an easy way out), may as well celebrate tomorrow as well, and need to get a few pedals on eBay.
Get all my electronics and pedal related bits un-boxed since the move, handful of PCB's i need to verify if i get the time :)
Gotta test a bunch of germanium trannies and some jfets. Hopefully get a couple circuits boxed as well!
I finally got the bonamassa FET driver on my hands.
I ve already post some photos on FSB.

So I will spend all the weekend tracing it and hopefully make a board for this one.
Well, technically it's 12.30am sat morning, so I guess I've started my weekend by rocking a Gainster on vero... finding I'd missed a link.
I need to box up a DSOTMfuzz (guitarpcb), and finish population a mudbunny pcb to green russian specs.
after working 10-11h a day this week, I'll be in the lab as well tomorrow to finish up some stuff :-\. But, on the plus side, I'll do some enclosure etching on the side for my sparklehorn and kingslayer builds.
I'm working on a Slow Loris right now. Last night I wired up all 4 pots, wired the cliping toggle switch and finished populating the board. Today I'm going to finish up the jacks and foot switch so I can start testing. Sadly my enclosure is shipping incredibly slow, it was an eBay steal from Hong Kong so it was expected. I might grab a predrilled one from pedal parts plus, because I don't want to wait two more weeks to get this thing in a box and I have a Wolfshirt and guitarpcb GBOF that'll need an enclosure soon.
Next up I'm going to begin my first multi effect project that I've been planning since I started building a few months ago. It's going to be a dirtbox with lots of clipping options, fuzz and OD PCBs from bean, order switching and possibly a toggled treble boosting circuit. What can I say I'm a sucker for knobs and toggle switches.

This is my weekend goal!
Jimi, what is that pcb? I think I need one!
Doppelganger 1.4 Low Profile layout. One of my original run boards, going by the green colour. I don't recommend hunting one up (or OSH'ing one), half the builds are sweet as, the other half have bad ticking. Plus the slow switch is incorrectly wired.
Much better to scare up a 2.1 board. I think Lace is out of them now, but someone might want to flick one.

Revive an old thread..
I got a Rat/Blower Box that I am making for my Uncle (He's a bass player and wants some dirt).
I am also tweaking an ESR Graphic Fuzz.
I may box up a 4 knob compressor, we'll see how the weekend goes.
Cody
Nice! I'm finishing up a yats with a new spin on an old graphic. Pretty stoked on the result so far. Not sure what to do with another yats but I had to build the pcb to verify an updated layout. After this one Inreally need tonget going on the multi I've been dragging my feet on. Or the dirtbag. Or the dirtbaby. Or....
Got another DD enclosure I'm sanding down for the umpteenth time after applying stickers and buggering the finish.
My plans today are to populate the STM800 board (haven't decided which variant to build yet) and check my drilling template. I also just put my first tube-amp in it's cabinet. It's only missing some grill cloth and it's already looking and sounding freaking cool.
Tomorrow is mainly work at the university. Yay -.-
I'm gonna make some cabsim tonite. tonepad's, simple sim, old ROG cabsim and fender cabsim from GGG. Need some different sound for layering. IMHO, better to do that with one dirtbox and many cabsim than many dirtbox with one cabsim. :D
I made my first single sided layout last night and the feeling is great. During the weekend I will embellish it some more and try to do another one.
Finally going to get round to desoldering all those ram holes on a XP All + mod that i promised to do for someone ages ago and forgot all about :o
Plan on attempting my first envirotex finish and maybe debugging a vintage dist +
I got nothing planned to build but my trigger finger is itchy :)
Oh not much.
I'll be quietly boxing a perf build of the redesigned Cardinal (V2) for a customer and my newly redesigned Tap Tempo Cardinal version 2 for myself ...
Probably finishing up a prototype delay for FFX. If I get the new switch I ordered, I'll also be finishing up an Esquire conversion of one of my cheap Rondo Teles.
After a long lull I'm going to be back on it this weekend.
Building up a Demo Tape fuzz (with mods) PCB I've done and a new Tonmeister EQ.
Plus a few mods that need doing to a customer multi-fx build.
Soldering boards while listening to the football on 5 live.
Love it :) 8)

Working on a Pennyroyal build. Lots of challenges with this one. At least it sounds fantastic. Hopefully the looks will do it justice.

Who else is trying to get a few builds done on this 3 day weekend?
I have been away from the bench for a month or so and now I feel so out of touch with what I had populated and started. Time to get building.
I am etching a few enclosures and I figured I would etch up 4 or 5 of the Etchers Paradise boards to try to get them verified for Brian.
Cody
I've got 3 days off now so I'm going to try and finish building my ZPSDX2 and sort a drilling template out. Also been trying to do a SMD stencil which I think I've now got right, hoping to try it out tomorrow, and got a load of parts turn up so going to verify a few new board designs. Also, I've just started working on a Klon for a 1590A, in SMD, which I want to finish.

I'm thinking I'm going to try and box my Deadringer V1 etch into a 125b. Portrait. Not sure if this is going to work or not. A BB might be a smarter idea.
I'm also going to deliver the Hyperactive Hyperdrive and Harley's Hammer.
This weekend I'm going to drill enclosures and print graphics for next five projects: Triton delay, Into the Unkown, Rustbucket, PS1-A and Voodoo Vibe. :)
I've got a Scarab, a Timmy, and a Mayo Mk III ready to box and a 5f1, Monarch and Umble to finish soldering. I'm way past due for some powder coating and it should be warm enough this weekend to get some done.
I'll be testing out some theories on the breadboard this weekend.
I'll probably verify my TS808 smd boards. not much else to do build wise as I'm lacking several key compounds to finish two other builds.
Other than that I'll stay at work on sunday trying to push my thesis further this weekend. have to finish this baby up in 5 weeks :-\
Hopefully pour some ETex over a Doppelganger and Multiplex in order to finish them. I've only had the boards populated since August :(
And if I'm not careful I might actually cut a back and front plate to the Vox amp I'm trying to finish.

Ok, I've got a productive friday today! Got 8 pages (that's more than it sounds) of my thesis done today and verified the TS808 already. Works like a charm and will fit a 1590A :) I'll share the build doc and OSH park project soon.
I managed to get the SMD stencil and the SMD Klon finished. Didn't get a chance to do anything else, but I've now got 11 days off work so I'm gonna get several more SMD layouts completed, and going to try to finish the ZPSDX2. Also, if it's warm enough in the garage get some enclosures drilled, powder coated and etched ready for the new boards.

Have a gig on bass with a new band sat night. Should be interesting. Very established (20 years), huge repetiour repettour song list, and... don't do set lists, they just go with the flow of the crowd and call the songs. I've charted out the ones they did last time, and know lots more that they do already, so hopefully I won't spend all night trying to follow along. Some of those old RnB standards are like 5 minute bass solos.
Going to make an attempt to get an Equinox etch finally populated today.
Can't decide if I should start boxing the 17 finished boards. I want to try to etch something. I have all needed supplies to do boards or faceplates, I got a pedaltrain and mounted the PS which makes me realize how many pedals I don't have. Need to find my freakin A/B/Y morley pedal and figure out switching for pedalboard into several amps.
My middle son wanted to move his mixing setup into my little studio built into the garage so instead of waiting for me to move my pedal stuff out he put it all into boxes and piled it on a table in the front room. I'm tired just thinking about it. I need a HOBBY ASSISTANT.
try and salvage an od-820 build that is quickly derailing ... and maybe get a look at the gravity wave board I got in the mail yesterday. my money is on getting neither done because I think the local town festival is this weekend and the wife and kids will want to go.
I'll be finishing up an Eagle Claw build, hopefully. Need to drill out the sides and finish wiring it up.
(http://i.imgur.com/b5FOjiN.jpg)
I've got 4 enclosures I need to drill and paint this weekend. Hopefully the weathers on my side.
Hoping I can push my Flintlock build to at least the troubleshooting stage :D
I have an Eagle Claw to box and one to build....it's a fast build. OK add that to the above.
I've got some epic pedal plans this weekend:
Boxing:
A simple 1 knob gate I found on I\/Iark's forum. First attempt at a waterslide decal.
A 2 in 1 dirtbox. This one is a bit different in that the two dirts are not stackable, in that if the pedal is not bypassed you chose between one (Wampler Cracked AC) or the other (MI Crunchbox). My waterslides just wouldn't stick to this box (I've tried a couple of times, the box has been resanded a couple of times already!) and I've gone back to an inkjet sticker.
Rocking:
Seventh Heaven on vero.
Adding a tap tempo to a vero of Valvewizard's Small Time delay.
Multicab sim.
Simple Cabsim.
Build:
Couple of buffers and splitters maybe.
Edit:
Have to get the PIFs in the mail!
