I built the Je T’aime as a bit of an experiment. Part 1 was to build something that was basically the fewest parts to make an op-amp work, and Part 2, make fit in a 1590A enclosure. This circuit is the jumping off point for a million variations so I figured I’d build it stock first and then mess...

Labels are black vinyl from my wife’s Cricut.

These exact colors

Spray can and masking tape! The diamonds are the exact width of 1” painters tape. I just eyeballed the width. Went one way, let it dry and then did the cross hash.

I’m finally getting around to finishing pedals I started last year. Wanting a Vox-In-A-Box, I decided to build the Acetylene Overdrive. I populated the board back around Thanksgiving, did the off-board wiring back in December, and did the paint in January. I need to demo it a little more but...

I’ve built a Mahayana and used a LM833. As said above, there are quite a few options with a dual opamp chip.

My “Mini Gain Licker” is closer to completion.

Finally getting one of the pedals finished. This is the second Tommy III I’ve built. The first one I made was, for all intents and purposes, commandeered from me by my 21 year old son. I’ve had him demo just about everything I’ve built so far and then picked his brain on his favorites, with the...

I finally got these two finished. I started them over the summer but I needed a couple components that didn’t get ordered earlier. I built them simultaneously and basically tested them back to back. The Deluxe is definitely Fendery with a clean tone that will break up when you crank it. The...

I got “Mini Gain Licker” I’m planning on putting a Je T’aime in a 1590A so…

I dig the black switch

There might be an emoji for that…

Yes, all the graphics are vinyl. My wife has a Cricut. Once I figured out I could do the black, the white was just the negative.

I’m happy with how this one turned out. Since this is a reissue of the Op Amp Big Muff with a Smashing Pumpkins tie in and coloring on the original, I decided to do some word play on both and ended up with Pumpkin Pi(e). Build is stock, but the whipped cream ended up about perfect.

Another finished up today. I couldn’t think of anything creative to do graphically, so instead I went stock. Plus there’s no mistaking what it is. No mods, just stock.
