A couple Foxx Tone Machines and a Deluxe Pitch Pirate

[Boba7]

Hey

So I've built a couple Foxx Tone Machines on Wolfshirt pcbs, one  for a musician friend (who already has a couple pedals I built for him) and one for me.
Built it stock except I added a momentary octave footswitch, and a fat dip switch inspired by the Fulltone Ultimate Octave (that adds a capacitor in parallel with C10 for more mids)

Also I built a Deluxe Pitch Pirate on vero. That one is for me. I had this pedal (from Midfi) a couple years ago and loved it and always regretted parting with it.
Only mods here are a volume pot on the side (initially it was a trimpot accessible from a hole on the side, but I soon realized I prefered a pot), Midwayfair's limiter led, and the rate led is always on (it's the one on the side, and it's red while the bypass led is yellow)

I had received a bad green enclosure from Tayda (lots of bubbles and marks) and didn't know what to do with it, so I simply used a Stazon ink pad to try and "decorate" it. Not unhappy with the results, not too excited either, but I like the result and it didn't cost anything.
The wiring could have been cleaner but oh well, that's 7 pots and veroboard

Anyways, pics:

I love that Deluxe Pitch Pirate. The ink looks great on that green and great knob choice also.

Stamps on the knobs is a great idea! I love the unified style of your builds. The lid-up approach still makes me suspicious.

Looks awesome -- the FTM is a super awesome fuzz.  It was one of my first builds and one of the very few I still hang on to.  The pitch pirate looks really cool and is high up on my future build list if I can ever work my way through the stuff I have.  Super clean especially with all that off board wiring.

Thanks guys!!

Yeah the FTM is an awesome fuzz, I love it! The "fat" switch adds a whole other voicing that's really cool too.

The "lid up" approach makes more sense with brushed aluminum enclosures I find... But the red's for me so...

I wasn't too happy putting stamps on the knobs at first, but I didn't see any other way to label it and in the end I find it quite nice, and discrete, which I like. It's such a great circuit.

Those are all beautiful

+1 on the stazon ink treatment.  I really like the way it looks.

That wiring is pretty damn clean for vero and 7 pots!  Very impressive. 

Where did you get the knobs on the first one?  The ones with the silver skirt and black triangle marker?  I've been looking for something similar lately.

love them all!  the first aluminium design looks fantastic

nice happy LDR shielding in there too

Excellent builds.  Very clean and pretty.

I think Tayda sells those.

[Boba7]

Yep, knobs and enclosures are from Tayda (except the black knobs on the red FOXX)

Thanks a lot guys, really happy you like them!

They look great! Nice work.

Those look very nice, especially the green one!

Is there a Vero layout for the pitch pirate deluxe floating somewhere out there that I haven't seen, or is this an original layout?

I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago. Its in the forum on the tagboard site
