the secret is taking a raw placenta, stretching it over your enclosure, and allowing the veins to cook under a winter sun.

really looks great.

You guys are going to love this one. Super in your face od/distortion thats killer with your volume knob. Loud as hell, plenty of gain to play with, trimmer inside is a 50k sag control, I'm finding the sweet spot just under 5v [4.95v]. This isn't some clone of a boutique pedal either, tis SCIENCE1

I need to build a breakout box already...

Adding a Brownface style tone stack for control over the bass and treble. Dummy me forgot to order the 250pf cap.

Looks to be good work. I may have to snag a SHO clone from you before the holidays, who knows.

I'd love to build you one mate, just let me know what details you want and I'll make it happen.

Doing an Sunface for Carl.

Need to clarify a few things, but heres the jist
-Sunface Fuzz clone
-Fuzz, Volume, Bias and Starve knobs
-Larger knob for Starve control
-LED color?
-Case finish?
-Knobs?
-Top/Side mounted jacks?

i already pm'd you back, but here's the rest of the gist:

- mustang knobs (large for starve, regular for normal controls)
- pank LED plz
- get artistic on the finish (no bonerz unless they're true to scale)
- side mounted jackz

do an silicon so i don't have to use battries 'cos i love me some earth.

ordered parts home boy. Will drill the enclosure for the OD/Distortion pedal, once parts arrive I'll finish my tone stack and see how it gets on with the nasty OD.

FUUUUCK its been so busy its stupid, all free time has gone to sleep or family time but tomorrow I'll be sure to get Rob's footswitch out and the SHO proto to johnnyseven.

Johnnyseven's SHO and Rob's replacement footswitch went out today. Drilled and primed the case for my od/dist, need a name for that beastie - I was thinking Firebreather.
Parts for carl's SI Sunface are en route

Something like this. It'll pop once clear hits it.

ready to be boxed up, the Brownface tone stack works swimmingly. Boxing up and tidying up wiring tonight after work.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 7:33 am

-Board built and tested
Works a lot better than I thought it would with a starve control, definitely a great idea on his part.

more proof that i need to build a breakout box

Audio demo yeah?

I'm basically talking to myself here, but progress is progress
ready for drilling

this is going to look killer with a huge mustang knob

dude, i thought you were basically talking to me!

i have been reading while laying next to my post-vomit spewing wife. scrolling through the pics is easy, but replying 'shakes the bed too much.'

that looks fucking KILLERRR

I feel ya, lady haze and I have complete opposite sleep schedules so most of this work is done while she is asleep then I sleep while she is at work, etc so on so forth.
Have to say, thanks for giving me total freedom on the finish, so many ideas! I definitely want to do an pank. It'll look classy when its all done.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Mon Dec 27, 2010 9:02 am

Building an optical tremolo. Not much else I can do without LDRs, I have some shipping to me but that was two weeks ago or so, making a trip to rat shack tomorrow to get a cheap box and turret board to make myself a breakout box.

Using a simple 555 cmos ic and ldr's, depth and speed pot plus a flashing led indicator for speed

Looks really similar to either a DAM Sonic Titan or a Ruby LM386 power amp to me?

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Mon Dec 27, 2010 9:12 pm

very similar, especially to the sonic titan. The fet boositng the lm386 is a killer combination, great fuzz/distortion mix. Id like to mess around with different tone stacks before I box it all up.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Wed Dec 29, 2010 9:34 am

real clever like

also.....
I've just spent the last half hour confusing myself and half asleep lady haze about adding options for pre, mid, and post channels to try various tone stack/boost etc combinations which might include toggle switching. Definitely adding a starve control before it hits to terminal so I can see how pedals react to it while testing, as well as toying with a charge pump to do 18v via toggle.

like a mini inventobox but it will actually be used for productivity

Here you go Carl, hope you are okay with the finish. Again, thanks for letting me do whatever, it was a blast!
