my new tube screamer in a shady box!

Hydesg · July 11, 2004, 08:07:53 AM

finally! well i dont have any hand drills at home i cant drill any holes on metal
so i decided to place it inside a plastic box

here it is

what do you think? guys

mugan · July 11, 2004, 08:14:48 AM

nice thought but... where's the switch?

vdm · July 11, 2004, 08:20:36 AM

hehhe - well that's better than what i do at that stage..... i usually just leave stuff unboxed lying on the carpet, unless of course i can be bothered to go and cut/drill/paint/engrave and all that crap that boxing requires.

nice floorboards though...... can i steal them for a nice natural finished enclosure :twisted:

hehe

good work

Uh, you sure that's a Tube Screamer? It looks more like a screaming Tupperware to me... :lol: :wink:

His & Her's Effect's, you can play guitar through it and Mom's got a place to park the leftover's,

good place to hide a snack when your out on a Gig,

Seriously cool build. let us know how it sounds

Hydesg · July 12, 2004, 09:31:26 AM

it sounds great! very clear mids
transparent and refined highs

just abit lack of bass

very bluesy to rock n roll
cant reach metal coz of its lack of gain i guess
gonna build my blackfire soon =)

its very quiet too
simply love it

and it looks cute
attacts girl's attention
haha

"Does it work when it's full of macaroni & cheese?"

Yeah, it sounds really creamy! Sorry, I had to... :oops:

Danny G · July 12, 2004, 10:48:16 AM

Microwavable, too!

Paul Marossy · July 12, 2004, 10:58:40 AM

Microwaveable, too? Wouldn't that cause sparks and stuff with all thos metal parts in there? Oh, maybe I'm being too serious.

Kaiowas · July 12, 2004, 03:01:20 PM

just let it be until your mom discovers it!!
She won't like it, i mean, where is she going to warmup the food?!!

Hydesg · July 12, 2004, 06:11:42 PM

haha
:oops:

Nice wiring job...and it certainly takes care of those pesky ground loops.

Sure pays off to buy nice looking components! Mallory yellow, sprague orange, etc....
