    AionFX Onyx / Boss SG-1 Slow Gear with PPCB Intelligent Relay Bypass

    For the AION projects that only have 3 offboard components—instead of 8—I drew up this simplified drawing that should work. This taps power off the Intelligent Relay Bypass Module, using the reverse-polarity-protection-diode and filtering cap already built into the IRBM. In this case, the...

    US sources for Film-Free Decal Paper?

    On my next attempt, I let it cool a lot longer before peeling off the mylar and it came off perfectly clear with no toner liftoff. Maybe that helped, I dunno.

    Lectric FX SH3 (EHX Small Stone)

    The build docs for SH3 touts “lower distortion” and a “more balanced sound.” I'm assuming they all basically sound the same. I'll probably go with that one.

    OK, this stuff takes a lot of trial-and-error. Still haven't perfected it, but here's my first halfway decent transfer. I was inspired by @SchlegFace's Flying Spaghetti Monster-themed Linguine King. Hence, the FSM drive... Several specks of toner lifted off, mainly in the top text, “FSM...

    Lectric FX SH3 (EHX Small Stone)

    If you could only build 1, which variation would you recommend? My guitarist’s green Sovtek small stone from the 90s konked out, and I want to help him replace it. (It only gets used for “big whoosh” parts paired with distortion during instrumental parts.)

    Their tutorials seem to indicate that they're continually adjusting their formula. One tutorial says to dunk in water for 5 seconds, another says to dunk for 20 seconds, etc. So, thanks for the heads-up. Is your first cure with a heat gun? Or in the oven? I once overcooked another brand of...

    Sunnyscopa waterslide decals: white on black? on sand-texture?

    I've successfully printed white on a black enclosure using 1.) black toner + 2.) white “toner reactive foil,” but the process is absurdly complicated and requires a lot of trial-and-error and some obscure supplies. I’m not sure how well it would work on sand-textured enclosures. I can do a...

    AionFX Onyx / Boss SG-1 Slow Gear with PPCB Intelligent Relay Bypass

    Also: 8 offboard components!! You have way more patience and tenacity than I do. (I would've ordered the Procrastinator b/c I'm lazy.) Do you find the Range switch is a worthwhile mod?

    I plan to try it for the first time today!

    Unison Stereo Issues

    You could also ditch the LED switching and use that pole of the 3pdt for the 2nd amp.

    I can't waterslide

    That screaming eagle looks badass, dude. And the bezel effect makes it jump off the enclosure. From a distance, the dots around the knobs look etched into the metal. Micro-Sol might contain isopropyl alcohol which could be causing the toner to crinkle initially. (I have a different brand of...

    AionFX Onyx / Boss SG-1 Slow Gear with PPCB Intelligent Relay Bypass

    This could be brilliant for focusing on a vocal stinger. ← where you direct attention to one important line. It might have a different feel than cutting the guitar out for one line. I might rewire my VFE BumbleBee to try it out. Thanks for the tip! I love the intelligent bypass. I'm re-wiring...

    Mega Build Photo Dump (Twenty Two Sevenths, Lizard Queen, Wooly Mammoth, Blender, VFE MiniMu)

    One might think this is a religious reference. But it was for a Pizza King evangelist. I'll stop derailing your thread. Sorry! The JMK panner is on my list now too. Looking forward to your next burst of builds.

    Mega Build Photo Dump (Twenty Two Sevenths, Lizard Queen, Wooly Mammoth, Blender, VFE MiniMu)

    I dig the googley eyes a lot. You'd be disappointed by “The Original.” You can only get the Royal Feast from the “Good to the Very Edge™” / Ring the King™ locations. So Muncie is the place to be as far as PK goes. I once commissioned a “One True King” branded fuzz pedal—a jab at the false...

    Mega Build Photo Dump (Twenty Two Sevenths, Lizard Queen, Wooly Mammoth, Blender, VFE MiniMu)

    On the subject of divisive concepts, do you have a home team in the great Pizza King debate? (I know some Hoosiers who will die on the hill of the franchises on the east side of the state vs. the west. I'm agnostic, but curious.) Your Flying Spaghetti Monster pedal is sheer perfection, BTW.

    Curds and Whey. Wacky goodness!

    Oh, shoot. Hope you enjoy your new computer. I had to replace a computer in December and lost many files. Futura was my guess. I use it a lot. But I compared it to futura and thought, "that's not it." :) Must've been the stretching. Prunes & Custard is in my cart. I'm labeling it “harmonic...

    Getting a PCB made from a gerber

    For this small batch of boards (qty: 30), the charge would have been $1.54, so 5¢ per board. Not bad at all.

    Getting a PCB made from a gerber

    OK, that's my mantra now. Thanks. Now I can live with this all the lettering. :) See? I'm legit and cryptic. Honestly, thanks. I need less stupid shit to worry about.

    Getting a PCB made from a gerber

    I just noticed that option. I'll use that next time just to be safe. Folks won't notice the production # inside the pedal, so I'm not sure why I care, but it fucks-up the aesthetic. Might be @cdwillis's idea that I'll look “less like a guy making pedals in his bedroom.” Oh wait, that’s totally...
