Nah man, I have a couple tube projects in limbo but I wouldn't do that.

I'll just sit back and let this one cull out the weak before releasing any potentially fatal circuits.

Besides, it would obviously be called the Fish Eyed Fool.

Thanks!

I’m really looking forward to putting this together despite my ridiculous backlog, thanks for sharing!

 

[Gordo]

Just couldn’t pass this up.

Mmkay, so I have 3 enclosures on hand that I just milled up, I have 20 more that will be here friday. So if you just ordered a PCB I'll get tracking up tonight, and if you're one of the first 3 that ordered an enclosure I'll get tracking tonight, otherwise I'll get tracking for you Friday night. Also I may as well get a quick demo recorded of the one I built up, it really is the best damn dirt pedal I've ever heard.

This is what the pre-drilled enclosures look like, by the way:

Holy moly did I luck out. It seems vigilante398 is right down the road from me so he stopped by this afternoon with the goods. What a guy!!! Thanks again, I'm really stoked about building this.

Can I use LEDs instead of those big light bulbs?

The trick is finding 9pin LEDs

I'm a pretty creepy dude. If your shipping address is less than an hour from me and I have time, I will absolutely try to deliver in person instead of shipping.

I was wondering because I placed the order late last night and the package still isn't here.... Now it makes sense, you're driving them down!

I'm only like 13 hours away in Georgia, what time should I expect you?

Give me a heads up though, I'm pretty busy.

 

[benny_profane]

Can you pick up a pizza on the way to delivering mine, please?

 

[Robert]

He said no requests. The nerve of some people....

I just put my order in - Thank you for putting this out!

Placed a Tayda order this afternoon. I have 1 9-pin socket and most of my electrolytics would likely go kaboom. At this point I have a handful of builds that are waiting on a handful of parts so at least the timing was right.

One of the cool details on this (well other than getting to meet the guy doing it) is the machining on the enclosure. It's just crazy clean. I have no idea what I'm going to do for a finish and graphics but it's going to have to be good to show off this beauty.

I ordered one with the enclosure. Should be fun and it will probably knock a couple of pedals off my board.

He's got a stop in North Georgia first, I'll let you know when he leaves here!

Glad I dropped in here tonight, I might have missed out otherwise
