OLC Chunky Cheese + Salt Boost sondz

I got an aluminum Hammond box that looks a heckuva' lot like the original for not-much-dough. SonicVI over at HCFX did it first & I copied him. 

Going to have it powder coated at work. Should be pretty hawt.
Mark @ OLC got back at me this morning (very quick!) and they're going to get the missing parts sent out ASAP. Good stuff.

Name a track and I'll see how close it gets tonight- it may not get clean enough from what I know of Hendrix.Fibus wrote:Love the Weezer songs man but can you get a Hendrix kinda sound out of it as well? Cause i am looking for a versatile fuzz pedal and most seem to do just about one sound.
Might be worth looking at the Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz- it has a 4-5 positon EQ shape dial and gets a little cleaner on the fuzz dial, if memory serves. Tried one out last year and thought it was pretty cool. It's a bit more of modern sounding fuzz though, you might just wanna go for a Fuzzface or Roger Mayer box for more authentic TONEZ.
Neat-o! You gonna put the dials in a line across the top? There's more of the flat section on the real thing:drasp wrote:I got an aluminum Hammond box that looks a heckuva' lot like the original for not-much-dough. SonicVI over at HCFX did it first & I copied him.

I am torn though because i do love those pavement style fuzz tones which are cheese all the way, but i would also like to be able to clean it up a bit for a voodoo child, fire, foxy lady or purple haze sound.Doog wrote:Name a track and I'll see how close it gets tonight- it may not get clean enough from what I know of Hendrix.Fibus wrote:Love the Weezer songs man but can you get a Hendrix kinda sound out of it as well?

Not sure I dig it, looks far too looooooooooong and weird.. kinda needs the footswitch a bit higher, and some different knobs in my eyes/opinion.
Ah well, horses for course, maybe the local electronics-craft shop will have something good in there this arvo.
Yeah, I drilled & loaded the box a while back. Knobs are close but there is zero interference. Plenty of depth to put the board on risers behind the stomp & I want to use a 9V slider box instead of a clip & I think there is room for that as well. Only thing I'm not really digging on these boxes is the "vents". Totally unnecessary for a fuzz box & limits where you can mount jacks, etc. Guess it'd be cool for projects involving a vacuum tube. . .
