What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Starting on boxing the DEFX boards tonight. Yes, I realize no jacks are present.. yet.

Working on doing some toner transfers for some Big Muffs… traced them out in DIYLC and then printed out a page of them. Etching tomorrow.

Update:
Etched them this morning. Pretty happy for a first attempt. Will see how they work!

Finally got around to organizing my 0805’s found these nifty boxes on the Zon

Another double Muffin- this time with Soviet-ized Bigger Muff, and a Mascis. Only mod to either is the asymmetrical clipping


Debating if I wanna slap in a parallel blast footswitch in addition to the channel switch

Probably the most complex pcb design I've done on the pcb mill at home, I/O setup with power supplies for prototyping. UV printed solder mask and silkscreen, though the silkscreen didn't come out great. The board works though, so I'm happy.

I find the lack of valves disturbing (for you at least!!)

I had been putting off setting this thing up because I was intimidated, but I finally sat down and got the pick-and-place machine running. I'm running it nice and slow for testing, but it still just placed 90x 0603 components in 4 minutes. Little bit faster than I can do by hand.

Absolute sorcery, my dude

So I've been going hard with my Xtool F1, not least because I wanted to have a couple pedals in working order for this noise gig I'm opening this Saturday, 6/27(Seattle folks, if that's your thing, 8 PM @ Monkey Pub in the U District!) and boy howdy am I stoked. Amir of Amir's Noise Devices remains among the most generous folks in the game as he put me on to not only really consistent laser settings, but also the technique of using paint and an isopropyl alcohol wipe to color the engravings.

I built a Carcass and a Mold Spore. I knew for sure the Carcass would be a great fit for my noise stuff, by gadDAMN I had no idea just how terrific the Mold Spore would be as well. The Chameleons graphic lift on the latter came out too small and after an initial misprint, but it looks messy in a kinda artsy way? Whatever, I just got a jig set in the mail so here's to better alignment going forward!

That board is literally a 6.3V power supply and a 345V power supply. Guess what the 16 pin connector on the bottom plugs into
