Hey everybody! Here's my Cupcake compressor. I had a botched enclosure (the drilling is about 1/4" off center) and was like, "well, I should put something in there." Everything is stock. This definitely adds some "oomph" to my Tele. I also recorded a short demo. Enjoy!

Sorry for the blurry pics - they didn't look so bad when I took them with my phone.

That is very cool. Is it really that noisy, or was something else going on there?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Thanks! My sister drew it with a Sharpie. However, I should have clear-coated it because it smeared a little as I was dry-fitting the off-board components.

I assume that the hum is a combination of my cheap adaptor (Visual Sound 1-Spot) and that particular outlet in my house (my amp sometimes picks up radio signals when it's plugged into that outlet). Any suggestions for reducing that hum?

Better adapter and a different outlet?  :P     But seriously I'd try that first before you go building a decimator,although those are cool too!
