Title: MBP Woodstork
Post by: McPilot on August 22, 2019, 08:32:51 PM
This was my first pedal build. Luckily, a friend has many builds under his belt and helped me out a bunch.  We decided to put this in a 125B enclosure, to make the final assembly easier. Built per the plans, this pedal rips!
When buying parts, I had to settle for the lower tolerance (cheap) resistors. It immediately was dubbed "El Cheapo" and then quickly took on a Three Amigos theme. Etching went well enough for my first time, and resulted in a good worn look, perfect for El Cheapo.

Love it! Great job! Especially for a first build. My first build was a mess and it took weeks to get it working.

The etch looks cool too.

Thanks. They are matched pair of germanium transistors (for a fuzz face) from Smallbear.

Thanks! It would have been a mess if not for the help I had.

Also, you do realize that your next one needs to have the Amigos themselves on it. Or perhaps this is the start of a series..
