Title: Here's Johnny and the Fatpants
Post by: hoodoo on December 16, 2012, 12:29:00 AM
G'day Madbeaners, Matt here, a couple of new builds.
The polished box is a fatpants 2012 that i etched myself, was impatient to get it on the pedalboard so no artwork on this one, used a box i had drilled for another project, which is why the pcb is not sitting flat :( fantastic sounding pedal for you strat players out there, fat tone.
The little one is a cave dweller, looked for ages for images that suited the theme couldn't find anything that i liked so i put Johnny on there instead.
Both sound great.
Don't know why but i struggled to make the wiring neat in both of these :-[ oh well they work and sound good.
The picture of the tool i've included is a welders clamp. $10. I have been doing some vero builds, saw this and thought that it may be good for holding the vero while you score it to break.
I don't know if there is a right way to do this, but i was using a metal ruler and sharp knife and kept f@#king it up.
This thing works great, anyhow thought i'd share.
Take it easy,
Matt.(http://imageshack.us/a/img705/7933/023vg.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/023vg.jpg/)
