Finally, some new builds... (one possibly offensive)

[juansolo]

It's not that I haven't been building anything, it's just that I haven't been putting anything in boxes... I have a HUGE box of effects that need enclosures, so I thought I'd better start making some headway into them. Plus a couple of 'customer' builds I needed to get done. I'll get the big one out of the way first.

The Gilmourizer
Another multi for Phil, the idea this time being Gilmour in a box.

In there is a Grind Customs Rotten Komp, into a Iron Bell clone on a Spin Cycle FX PCB, the output of that goes through a noise gate fabbed by Haberdasher, then we're on to a Madbean Fatpants booster and finally a Madean ZeroPoint Mini Delay.

As per the brief this really does do Gilmour in a box. There are a couple of pre-sets on the Iron Bell that give approximations of certain eras to make it easy to dial in too.

Despite the ballache putting this together* was, I'm really impressed with this one. To the point I'll be making one of these for me. However I'll be doing it in a much bigger box as the one above is ludicrously tight. The Gate is stuck to the base and hangs in the gap between all the other boards. Not pretty, but secure.

*This one fought me at every bloody stage. Things the wrong way around on the decal, seemingly every pot backwards at some point, a microscopic broken track on the gate, I managed to trash the original delay (it has mine in it from an old 1590A build), etc... Just one thing after another. Compounded by the fact that I needed to assemble the thing in two days.

However, it's really bloody good... So I'll be refining this one a bit and building the one for me in a much bigger box. We're gonna do our own take on the P19/Iron Bell type muff, sticking it in a 1550G will give me space to fit in a ZeroPoint DD as the delay (fancying having a go at some off board active filtering on that maybe as I want that board with the analogue filter from the big one...), and to squeeze in a CE-2 clone too...

Anyhow, in the words of Conan; Enough talk!





Valnott
THE black metal pedal (dime Hi, Low and Gain and you're in a black metal nightmare). PCB is from Tinnitus Industries (3SecondRule).

The name comes from a rather epic video by The Austerity Program because it can do that perfectly too (drop the high and lows) I'd have put a walnut in there had it fitted...





Clone Theory
A Clone Theory clone on a Celeste Chorus PCB from Lectric-FX (Haberdasher). A bit of a departure for me on the decal again, like I did for the Small Clone, it's a clone of the Clone Theory design. Came out quite nice I thought.





Ben's Box
Another unusual request for a very specific job. Two sets of guitar electronics in a complete passive switch box. Built as requested, Taa daa!

Those are fantastic, buy you'll have to try harder to be offensive!

[Govmnt_Lacky]

Sweet builds Juan.

How do you do Gilmour with no flanger? I thought I was gonna see a Current Lover in there somewhere.

[juansolo]

Needs a CE2 in there too really. But I was somewhat pushed for space

[muddyfox]

I'm not in the least offended by the red box...

If someone actually can read the black metal font they might be... Plus upside down crosses, pentagrams, number of the beast type stuff tends to offend Christians (but is all part of the black metal thing). So I thought it was appropriate to at least put a warning up.

Ohhh, if that offends Christians ( and I am one) they take themselves way too serious. I thought younger talking about the naked chic. I was looking forward to more of that.

Hairy muff, I shall try harder next time

Hairless would be ideal!

That stuff gets stuck in your throat and it won't come out man.

[GrindCustoms]

Much impressive all way round. Great job Bro!

[wgc]

ahem

brilliant, as usual

amen

[Scruffie]

Serious challenge to decide if your Clone Theory or Haberdashers build was nicer... Clone off!

[lincolnic]

I love the offset knob placement on the Clone Theory pots!
