Title: Buncha Builds
Post by: dropanchor812 on December 01, 2017, 07:47:03 PM
Hey, it's been a while since I've posted 'round these parts, but my builds are finally things I can be decently proud of, so....

Green Ringer with etched pcb.  I found the layout on here several years ago and had the transfers lying around, so why not?

Naughty Fish-  the switch tip covers really make a difference IMO.

Broken Arrow OD (AKA Durham Crazy Horse)   This was a pcb I got from Black Horse, it sounds great!  No gutshot, not sure why I didn't take one.

Mangler - I got this board pop'd from someone else on here with a snazzy PPP enclosure.

Booster - a friend needed a little booster/buffer at the end of his effects chain just as a recovery stage.  It's a CAE Line Booster/Driver on vero.  Layout from tagboard effects.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171201/3ebc43d348340bc9382d095c891d0c56.jpg)

CJ's Stutter Trem - sounds grrrrreat!  Got this board pop'd by someone on here too.  Messy wiring.  I made this for someone in exchange for a table saw.

STM800 - finally got this thing done and it's my fave.  Like seriously, my fave.  No gutshot for this one either, but I promise I built it!

PTP voltage control - Ha.

Loveliness all around.  Very nice.  The Crazy Horse board was one of those builds I never warmed up to.  Never did get it boxed and I have it hanging off my wall as a reminder that I need to deal with it.

Thanks folks!  Yeah, this is definitely about 7 months of building for me.  And I built the Crazy Horse for someone else who was looking for a dirt pedal that was a little different.  I can't say I was wild about it either, but it does what it does well!  I liked it for a fuzz much more than just trying to use it as an overdrive.

All of them are very, very nice.
I really like the green ringer & the Devolter. What is the size of this last one?

Now THAT is a deal I would love to swing with someone right now. Along with a band saw, a planer, a belt sander, uhhh....

Nice builds!

Nice builds!  I agree with those white toggle switch covers.

The Green Ringer is my fave.  The trio of LED's is great.

The little Devolter box is a 1590LB... a gutshot would have been pretty boring on that one seeing as how it's just a pot and some power jacks.  I really liked how the GR turned out too.  It was my first try with a water slide decal.  Thanks!

these are awesome!  love the lettering (and switch covers)

the devolter is great.  i think i'm going to try a buffer in the same size enclosure, my local electronics place sells them.

Nice builds !

I really like the Mangler with the hammertone finish, gives a nice vintage feel to it. Great choice of knobs as well!
