Fuzz face and green ringer would be an awesome combo.

Fuzz Face and a treble booster is also a sweet combo! I had some fun today setting the OCD up as a treble booster. Tone dimed, drive off, volume boosted a tad and on high peak sounded great with the sun face and the dls too

Noirie's Bazz Fuss is done and sounding great.

As you can tell, the sides aren't perfect as painting in this cold is a fucking nightmare.

Also made this fuzz for a French guy who wanted these pictures of his band on it.

It is the Strokes. Duh!

what about the gate control? did he want you to take it off?

Oh shit never mind, I read your post as fuzz factory, not just fuzz.

Those decals look amazing. I hope the French guy doesn't put velcro on the bottom of the Fuzzface. I honestly don't know how you crammed all those components into Noire's pedal. Such a cool little box.

the decals look great mike. True vanity pedals, love it.

Quick question about the pedals, what mm drills do I need to drill a case for jacks, pots, switch and LED?

Cheers

Jacks - 9.5mm
Pots - 7mm
LED bezels are 6.5mm for plastic and 8mm for metal
Footswitch is 12mm
DC jack is 12.5mm

I start at 3mm and do passes at 7mm for all the larger holes.

The 12mms I go via 9.5mm also. You could also use a stepped drill bit but I'm not a fan.

Cheers thanks Mike, thiink a llittle trip to B&Q to buy some new drill bits for the larger holes

Post by **Mike** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 11:27 am

Yup, go for HSS. I bought a set and a separate 12mm one (I just bore out the holes a bit more for the DC jacks)

Moar building.

another great looking saltbooster! how many have you made thus far? if you're near 100 i think #100 should be DELUXE or special in some way.
Why no decal on the muff? can't see why someone wouldn't want those sweet graphics. assuming its a muff anyways

hey mike, how much would a dls or a ocd cost me? and the two in one box?

I haven't kept track to be honest haha.. I haven't been numbering them, I probably should have. Doh!

The guy just wanted it plain, which is fair enough - I don't mind doing whatever people want. This one sounds fucking mint, I was playing Siamese Dream songs through it for an hour.
