It’s been a journey, I still have it and tbh it’s gotten me out of a few situations where I wasn’t paying attention to the order of bends, and this was able to get in where the other box brake couldn’t!
What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Not really on my bench but on my driveway…hopefully soon to be in the workshop!
It’s a cnc press brake! No more having to bend these enclosures by hand

Going to reply to myself! It works absolutely fine. I can see that the switch might stick, so that can be worked out. And the broken potentiometer is an easy replacement.
Best $20 I’ve spent. Man is it heavy (weight and sound). Really really cool.

Looks great! I’ve been thinking about the same pickup configuration for a future build. Looking forward to the demo!View attachment 92960View attachment 92961View attachment 92962View attachment 92963View attachment 92964View attachment 92965

Four months of fire damage remediation finally done:
Took it to an open mic tonight and it made a Fender Rumble 100 sound like a million bucks...go figure!

Combination fuzz/phaser/lofi delay (like my Albert Hoffman’s hearing aid circuit but with a phase 90 instead of a filter). I pray to Satan this works because that was my only set of matched 5952s and I ain’t goin out like no socketin bitch
. Fixed resistors in spots just to speed up the process.(thanks @Robert for the phase 90 hookup)

Boxed up the Stoner Bee. Cute as a button! Still getting to know it better, the most interesting thing so far seems to be the octave-style high end that appears when the gain is turned up, that reminds me a bit of the FZ-2. At least with the Tele with Wylde microcoils the Highs-control seemed unnecessary, I would have loved a Mids-control instead. But I'll try with other guitars later on.

Doing carbon repair on a Trek Madone SLR 7. Outside application is straight forward but inside application of carbon fiber cloth is a bitch. I've masked it off for touch up. The top of the top tube is done.
Fading in glossy red will be tedious.

I don’t have any cool pictures (in fact, I don’t even have any cool products to take pictures ofyet because they are in shipment) – but this hobby taught me that I really enjoy interacting with physical pedals and things like modeler or AmpliTube too much for me. It’s almost like I can’t see the software version of the pedals so I never remember they’re there and I never think to try to play around with the knobs to see what happens. And I just get a huge amount of enjoyment in the physical process of building a pedal rather than clicking on something made by someone else in a software program.
As a result, I have pedal board with dozens of pedals I have built and I love playing with them. But my loop switching system, while quality (GigRig and a DIY loop switcher I built), doesn’t give me any programability and I’m also running out of loops with all the petals have built (and I’m not precious about them – I’ve already retired 10 or more that I’ve built because there’s no space on the board or they just don’t do much for me).. So today I spent much more than I should have (but absolutely what I deserved) to purchase an RJM mini controller and 3 Mini Effects Gizmos so I now have 36 loops to play around with, including the ability to re-order any of them in the signal chain. Obviously, any effect on the chain will be something I built, to which I owe a great thanks to this community.
Like any costly purchase, I’m currently suffering minor heart palpitations thinking about what I’ve done, but I’m looking forward to it. I still have probably eight open loops and I fully intend to build things to put in them, and that’s due in a huge part to this great community and all I have learned from you all.

First pedal i build in literally years. Tacobolt. It works but there's way too much volume early on and I need to fix the voltages.
The issue is this freaking Tayda enclosure was not threaded properly and one screw broke in the hole. 3 will hold but I should've checked before drilling.
I hate building pedals. The tiny pads, tinning wires. All the little things.
Bah
