hahah..lolz.

Mikey (Vivadeluxxe's) Small Clone rehouse is done, including natty violet LED supplied by him:

It was nice and tight but very fun. The yellow wire turns the circuit on so it can be true bypassable. I replaced all the original wiring. I used a no popping TB scheme which grounds the input to the effect when it's not in use.

I gave you a smaller boss style knob too to go with this in case you think the big knob is too close to the edge. As you can see from the previous picture, I didn't really have any breathing space vertically, or horizontally!

Boss 2.1mm centre negative DC jack added

I can only apologise for this NoHo esque negligence.

No worries dude, it was a fun projects, definitely very different from the normal stuff I do. It was satifying to get it done though, the LED looks lovely and now you have a sexy True Bypassed Small Clone with a decent power connection

Everything is done now as far as outstanding work is concerned. These two pedals are done and awaiting payment, Proggy said he would be able to buy the Fuzz after payday, haven't heard anything from JD in a while as regards the Fuzz Factory, I gather that's why he's selling his Jaguar. I wish I had the funds, space and time to buy it off him myself, but I don't unfortunately.

Completed, awaiting payment
ProgRockAbuse - Shaftesbury Duo Fuzz - Â£80
JD - FuzzFactory - Â£75

Yeah I got a card in the post yesterday - got to pick it up on my way home tonight

Post by **Mike** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 10:19 am

Sweet. What are you going to use it to switch in and out, out of interest?

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 10:22 am

Am probably going to put my whole effects line through it - mainly because quite often I'm using more than one effect at once and am fed up of having to switch them off in sequence rather than have a sharp end of effects in a song.

Sounds cool to me.
