Finboy, your case is drilled, primed and has had it's first coat of colour also. Pics when I decal it tomorrow hopefully.

Where are you buying your paint these days, Mike? Halfords still?

Yeah, sadly enough. I'm getting better results doing more coats though. and I use white primer these days also.

The last couple of pedals I did, and incidentally the ones you took with you after buying the JCM, were done with paint from Wilko. Smaller cans and about £2.70 a go. One can only just does one pedal so you can't have too much waste. I didn't use much clear but the clear I used was Halfords that I had left over from that now bobAC musicmaster project.

The main disadvantage of the Wilko stuff is the colour range is lacking. It's not actually their paint, it's a very standard hobbycraft type brand but it's just cheaper in Wilkinsons than anywhere else I've seen.

I'm going to be buying some soon and I'll go the Wilko route for some of it i f they have metallic purple or something else interesting, but I might have to go to one of those model shops that nerds hang it in talking about model aeroplanes.

Wicked tip, There is a Wilkinsons in Watford I'll try out next time I'm in town.

Finboy, your booster/loop case is decal'd and now lacquered and curing. Will build this weekend and post next week.

Also pictured, a Harmonic Perculator with boost and tone control for a youtuber.

looks killer

Any chance you can do a fender blender clone?

The switcher box works great Mike, cheers! I'm really glad I got you to put that A/B mode in; it looks like it's gonna be the most useful since the Korg sounds pretty good through my Marshall, and running it through my foldback means I can actually hear it onstage, rather than hoping venue has decent monitors and that.

Practise tomorrow, good times!

I could look into it.

Glad to hear it Doogster.

I'd certainly buy one from you if you ever decide to give it a shot.

Finboy, 'tis done!





Also finished that Harmonic Perculator I'm building:

I've found a schematic and it's a complicated beast. Could probably make one for £90 though if you were interested. It would have to be in the larger of the two case sizes I use. Send me a pm if you're interested.

PM sent!

beware the volume drop if it is a RI schematic, hurb mentioned it was terrible in his demo vid (though his was some hand made deal)

slight twist of what I said (although I know I am hard to understand sometimes) The ri has volume drop, my hand made dealy has volume for days.

i have a 1976 schematic. I know about the volume drop and wanted to avoid it

Awesome, I'm psyched!

It should be pretty damn loud, and if it isn't I'll build a clean boost stage into the case with it, it's crap having a dirt pedal quieter that your clean sound, everyone wants some UMPF when they step on it. I had to add a stage to Hurb's Octave Fuzz I made him because the vintage circuit didn't have enough volume with the NOS parts I used, but after I did I was a lot happier with it.

I should be able to drill tomorrow. It looks like a beast of a circuit so I'm excited about this one!

blender demo with "soma" solo?
