What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

[DeadAirMD]

I have this old knockoff FF enclosure that I bought at the pawn shop like 30 something years ago for $10. I thought it would be fun to repurpose the enclosure and build a new fuzz in it.

But then I thought “I better check what this is to make sure it’s not actually worth something.” For whatever reason I have never done this.

So it turns out this thing might actually be valuable. It looks just like these guyatones on reverb marked at like $500(!)

So I guess I’ll pause on that idea!

So how's it sound?

So how's it sound?

The last time I used it was when I got it. The pots were quite scratchy, but the fuzz seemed fine.

I don’t think my teenage self appreciated fuzz back then. I was all about punishing a pair of el84s for distorted sounds, sometimes with a vintage reissue RAT.

I’ll have to get back to you on that, now that I can appreciate things like fuzz. Just had knee surgery yesterday. My wife grabbed me the pedal out of my things to check it out, just need her to bring me a guitar and a 9v battery.

That's a good woman right there

Today is less about what’s on my workbench, and more what isn’t on it. Finally making some real progress on getting things reorganized and into a useable state. No more piles of empty Taya’s baggies and random loose hardware everywhere. I wanna actually get something built this week.

Ugh! I feel ya! Been arguing with m'sef to clean up my bench too.

I had been despairing about how low I was on a bunch of basic supplies. Resistors, caps, etc. Especially when the Canadian dollar has been terrible and Tayda's duty free shipping is still ~$20 for every $100 of stuff. I organized my work space (aka took everything out of the bin I haphazardly throw all my shit in) and learned that I wasn't low on anything really, just forgetful and scattered.

Long-winded way of agreeing that cleaning your work space is useful.

The IAIGF thread has a couple posts about the workbench thread not having enough gut shots, so here you go. I've been focusing lately on "design for manufacturing", putting in time at the design stage so I can assemble these really quickly.

I have a never ending pile of "need to measure and put up" bags of acquisitions on the corner of my bench. Sometimes 2 corners. I told my wife that if I die in a sudden act of gravity or inertia, sell my components for no less than $2k.
*Stare ensued*
"It's worth at least twice that but they'll lowball you..."

His drumming is even cleaner IMO!

This just arrived! This was made back when I was still cutting out enclosures by hand!

I had sent it out to @jjjimi84 for him to do some artwork on it and man did he knock it out of the park! He had 100% creative freedom when choosing the graphic and design, and to make it pop even more he even added a clear coated/epoxy layer over the graphic so as to preserve it as long as possible!

Thank you Dan for doing this one of a kind project with me! Now I just need populate it and I will do a build report for sure!

Hahahha robocock! Not what I was envisioning but its hilarious. My half baked idea was that somehow chicken wings were needed for chicken wing audio leaving a bunch of robot chickens wingless.

Its been a foggy year.

Simplifying the rig. Everything, but a compressor, which is under the hood, is connected to the switcher. The switcher makes it easier to sub out pedals and change the order in the chain. Right now, here is the chain: compressor->two tone fuzz-> kewpie pie-> sierra fuzz-> diplomat-> pauper-> zenith->Byzantium flanger-> DM-3 delay-> dual Equilux.

Literally everyone: "putting a tube in something doesn't automatically make it better."

Doing a fun one for my friend. It's the newer ODR-S from Aion and it'll be printed on the cream Tayda box. As a 'Nashville Pedal' I thought it would be cool to go with a fun vintage western theme.

 

[jwin615]

For Nashville you should've gone with party busses, pedal taverns and bridesmaids.

This city sucks now.

Or flying chairs.
