Ultrastoner Muff

[m-Kresol]

First off: this thing sound terrific. So many options, so many different shades of fuzz. Chapeau to everyone involved in making it happen.

Anyways, it took me forever to box this thing up. I tried 3 different kinds of paper, as well as printer settings and so on to make the toner transfer like I wanted it to be. I messed the transfer up more than once by ripping it off again when I removed the backing paper. The time I finally etched it (I think attempt #9), I just soaked the paper for 20 min in water and just removed what came of on its own.
I then etched with NaOH solution, it soaked right through the leftover paper. Anyways, I mixed up Cody's and Graham's tutorials for this one. I found that dipping the enclosure in and out of the solution as Cody is doing is was not as effective as applying the NaOH on the top.
I also had to reapply the black paint three times as I messed it up the first time when spraying it with clear coat and the second time I didn't wait long enough for the paint to dry. I found out the hard way that acrylic paint is not the best kind to be sanded of. It smears too much.
Anyways, it turned out awesome in the end (although I could've moved the pcb up and the 3PDT down a little). The graphics is inspired by the Scott Pilgrim comics, which I love and find very suiting for a dirt pedal. Also, Graham's similar pedal was very inspiring.

Love it. How are you liking the Kobiconn jacks? I got a hold of a few so I'll be trying them on a build soon.

That looks fantastic Felix. Where did you find those knobs? I love them. They look just like the knobs Skreddy uses.

Dig it!  Great build, man.  Love the graphics.

Thanks guys

These are actually Lumberg open frame jacks. Since I tried them once, I only use those.

I got them from musikding.de and banzaimusic.com They look awesome and good quality but really pricy.

is this your first etch?
looks terrific (inside and out) great job
you leave me no choice to also getting NaOH and an iron

No, this is my 4th attempt and by far the best. I used photoresist the first two times with mixed results and my last one turned out ok, but not half as good as this one. really happy how this turned out

Aye aye that looks familiar!



Great job dude, hope the tutorial has been useful! I dig the knob choice on your one man, looks awesome! I think the fact you painted the whole box really helps the image stand out.

You've also reminded me I really must check out the Ultrastoner board, time to get on it!
