Anybody want to show off their build collection?

What determines if something is 'weird' rather than 'crazy'?

Good question, it's a bit of a blurry line, but crazy is rather "screaming, in your face to annoying stuff" like a PLL thing and crazy are more "huh, what was that?" sounds, ..., but in the end it probably just depends on my mood of the day where a pedal goes.

It would be weirder to find a tube screamer than a PLL on my shelves. Yats is the weird pedal over here.

I want to see @jjjimi84 's hoard.

I know, but I want to SEE it! All laid out and close up.

I think the only one of my DIY builds I own right now is my Monk McCoy Wah Pedal.

I have one of yer builds.

Well here's my feabile collection so far...

 

[The Gator]

That picture kinda sucks. This is a little better...
I have not done a build thread in a while, even though I have been building. I should do a few.

Those are fantastic!

 

[PunchySunshine]

Great thread, always nice to see how our addictions compare!
I've built everything except the looper and tuner. Various DIs, A+B, and buffer utilities at the bottom there.

 

[The Gator]

Hey thanks Laundryroom David.
I have been meaning to do some demo build threads as a lot of them are modified. Some quite a bit.
I say we should play guess the circuit...
Some of mine are blatant.

 

[ReinoutVrijhoef]

Those are some nice collections! How do you make you pedals look so good? I’m fighting my way around spray paint and water slide decals: results are mixed…

 

[The Gator]

Personally, I build models. Remote control scale aircraft models to be specific.
So I utilize a lot of the same techniques to achieve a certain specific look.
Painting is a pain, but sometimes necessary to get the desired look.
Waterslide decals are a pain, but there are tricks to help. In the end though, UV printing would be better.
I do like making the name plates and dial plates though. Gives it that ol' school industrial look.

So, what's in the weird category again? I get what you say, the underminer would be in the weird shelf.

 

[mkstewartesq]

I dig yer rig @mkstewartesq !

( and I don't go 'round sayin that to just anyone! )

Thank you, @fig - as you may recall, two of the pedals in that setup owe their existence to you - specifically, the matched quad JFETs you supplied for my XC Phase (righthand side of the orange Nuclear Summer pedal) and the Proposition board you gifted me (the red Ultimatum Distortion pedal). So, once again, thank you.

doh!
Weird has for example: Deadend the Thing and Wurmloch, that DBA robot pedal and something from LAL ....
Crazy has: Parasit circuits (Into the Unknown, the Xor'cist), Pedalpcb Superhetrodyne Receiver ...

LOVE the MOAR!!!

Big knob and jewel light ftw - and the text around the knob is like the icing on the cake .... "all the moar", genius!

 

[The Gator]

Fuzzonaut thank you!! Thank you!!
I have absolutely got to do a demo build thread on that one. I am a fuzz fanatic and I assume you are as well.
It is a modified two stick of derm. The jewel gets brighter the "MOAR" you turn the knob! I really like that circuit.

Was the brightening of the jewel the mod you speak of, or was there moar mods than that?

 

[The Gator]

Not sure if I should get into it here but, made it a bit brighter by changing caps, and most importantly for the gimmick of it, Adding a resistor in series with the volume knob to lower the top end db. with changing the pot to a double C taper. This let's it get to unity gain immediately and makes most of the "moar" positions usable. This circuit is so bloody loud in will really slam the preamp in your amplifier.
