What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Matt from Stomp Under Foot reached out and asked if I can get 10 Rams head enclosures done and screen printed. I can’t tell you how much appreciation I have, given an opportunity like this!

Thanks man!! I really appreciate it!

Thanks man!! I really appreciate it!

You have put the time and effort in, you really went all in to learn a craft and there is nothing I respect more than trying to push oneself to do the absolute best you can, and constantly improve. You earned it.

Dude i cant tell you enough how much a comment like that helps....It really puts everything im doing into perspective and i feel like im going in the right direction! Im going to continue to push harder and get better results! This forum is the sole reason i got into all of this. In all honesty its you guys that have been the biggest influence in not only my hobby but my will to push myself, so i cant take all the credit!

Those are beautiful @steviejr92.

We’re all here because we learned how to do a thing, but you went and learned how to do like 12 things. To be able to design, machine, fabricate, powder coat, and screen print an enclosure is a pretty rare set of capabilities. I’m not surprised at all that you’re seeing some demand.

Erik, Thank you for the kind words man!

In all honesty i just wanted to do the best that i possibly can do without outsourcing anything. I came onto this forum with the DIY mindset and thats how i want to run my little business. I really want to encourage other people to do the same cause its soooo possible you just need to work hard and do your best!

working on this Kawai stereo mixer that I use to blend effects, also I use it to listen to music and as a way to play into headphones.
It’s gotten a bit fizzy lately I’m think it’s needing some new caps somewhere.

It also needs tons of replacement jacks. Not sure if these are aged, crappy or the person who owned it before was super rough but pretty much 1/2 or more are broken. Any idea if these metal collared jacks https://www.taydaelectronics.com/6-...female-connector-thread-lock-panel-mount.html are a direct replacement? The dimensions on the sheet seem the same.

Beyond the panel-mounting portion, they look pretty much identical to the linked jacks (which I've used on several builds). The panel-mounting portion is obviously different, but whether or not that'll matter to you is your call. Also, the linked jacks are mono and I'm not sure if the originals were mono or stereo so you may want to double-check that to confirm.

The originals are mono with a switch on the tip. I think I’m going to give those a shot and replace all the jacks on it with them.

Are these what you use on the I/O boards on your recent builds?

I use the stereo version, but yes, more or less the same.

They're decent for the price. They're even cheaper if you order from Daier on AliExpress (but I think the smallest pack of them is qty. 100).

Got all three to where I think they sound decent enough to call em good.
Just waiting on boxes now

I have both types here somewhere, if I can find em I'll double check.

EDIT: Just noticed yours are mono, mine are surely stereo.

EMG and a sustainer? Gonna eat batteries!
I've always wanted a Ravelle. Like an Iceman and a LP mated.

Thank you so much man! I really wanted to present the best I possibly could!

If you ask me though I think the red ones are my favorite

And super fast too! Like less than a year?

It wasn't on the bench for long, thanks to the excellent documentation and pics.

The Pauper. Really, this build was like painting by numbers. I can't say I am a pedal builder, more like an assembler. But I am now looking for the next build.

This isn't my first assembly project, but one thing has been consistent with all my projects and that is noise when I rotated the guitar pot completely off. Any thoughts?

Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed this project and amping up for the next one.
