[Chuck D. Bones]

This is the latest (final?) incarnation of my Ungula.
But first, Rest In Peace John Mayall, The Father of British Blues for over half a century. What do Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jack Bruce, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya, Harvey Mandel and Sugarcane Harris have in common? They all used to be in John Mayall's band. Eric Clapton left a poignant, if rambling, message on YouTube.

Now where was I?
Oh yeah. This:



That's a modified Ungula board. Steviejr92 made the enclosure. 16 gauge steel - it's built like a tank, which is appropriate because those two MP38 transistors came from Ukraine. Stevie is also responsible for the powder coat and silk screen. Excellent job Stevie! It's hard to see in the photos, the top coat is loaded with multicolor sparkles.



At this point there were a couple of wires out of place. Can you tell which ones?





Cooder designed the logo. The LED is a rainbow LED that gradually fades from one color to the next. Far Out, Man.

Love the colors and style! The sparkle looks great, I’m a sucker for sparkle enclosures.

 

[steviejr92]

Holy moly! I almost missed this! The knob and led colors are a perfect match! Im looking forward to building your Boneyard version of the Ungula!

Although, I’m not familiar with John Mayall, I am familiar with a few others that were in his band, keep rocking on legend!

It ain't no thing, 'less it's in a chicken wing (audio). Good stuff señor Bones!

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Thanks, Man.
Frickin' memes.

I’m not much of a blues fan, so I’m not the most well versed in his discography, but he was a true legend beyond words.

Here are, in my opinion, a few highlights from early, mid, and late career. RIP JM

Thank you for these suggestions! I will take a listen to them!

Not easily implemented on an Ungula board, requires cuts, jumpers and a couple of off-board components. But doable.

Excellent! There's a bit of extra space inside the enclosure by the looks... haha...
Looks indeed like a tank! I love my chuckified HooF! Thanks for all the great designs and panel beating things into shape!

The origins of the "Beano" sound and eventually the name sake of the "Beano Boost".

It also helps to be Eric Clapton.

Looks real nice and I bet it sounds alright too. I like muffs and germanium fuzz, looks like it's time to finally breadboard something. Unless someone has a boneyarded ungula board they want to sell me in the USA?

Drooooolllllllll

Holy shit is that a thing of beauty!

Looking great, inside and out. @Chuck D. Bones do you have any issue with the rgb leds making a whining noises?

My go to Mayall is the hard road with Peter Green, the song supernatural is extraordinary.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Not this batch, they are dead quiet.

The first set I bought made the whine sound. Even with filtering, the whine did not go completely away.

That sounds quite intriguing. Where did you get them?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Not sure, maybe EG, maybe AliExpress.
