Baby Builds! Hipster, Afterlife, Loop Switch

[sgmezei]

Here are my first baby builds.


I am really digging the afterlife. I find it doesn't squash my attack like other comps. A really great sounding compressor. Copper hammertone finish




The Hipster sounds really funky right now in a good way. I am going to have to recheck what transistors are in there. i swapped out about 20 pairs until I found a combo that sounded somewhat "different". I tried it with another amp and guitar, and the sound wasn't really happening for me. I still have to experiment some more. I also used a 1kC pot which is working great. The finish is silver hammertone on top of black.



This is a plain ol' loop switch based off of the general guitar gadgets wiring. She works. The finish is purple underneath with a topcoat of silver hammertone.

Awesome! Paint came out great and love the led placement on the fx loop.
I am a little worried though I am building an fx loop in a 1590a in a few days with same components as you but I ordered a clickless switch PCB from Jack Orman and I hope I can make it fit.
Nice work man thanks for sharing,

Ps, I have only drawn up a 1590a on paper but gaining huge appreciation for building with them, they are really small!

Really well made! Love the paint jobs

Kudos for the «standard» hardware use!

Those look great, SM!  I like the hammertone over paint, you got some really cool looking results.
