Pictures!

I am really sorry, I am french and I cant help noticing some mistakes in the last pedal...
It should be "la presse française", and input is more like "entrée" than "données" which means data.
Hope you will forgive me for that

Anyway, super clean etches and wiring ! I really like the True Grit one, the design really reminds of a good western movie

Something not fancy for a while:




It's a new Treble overdrive. Had to de- and resolder a resistor until I thought I had enough gain finally after testing. First tests sound a lot nicer, than it looks

thx for the comments. Feels like I've foun my "personal touch".
Really like the bending en wooding, more than drilling and dressing up a hammond enclosure. D-i-y all the way.

Always stuned about the nice builds that are shown here.

Tested a painting method on that last thing, which involved painting it with a primer and dripping some of GFs nail polish on it then dripping on some acetone on it. Next time I will thin the nail polish first, so it will spread better. Also need to clear coat it, but I borrowed the can to my friend :/

That artwork hurts my brain when I stare at it But I love it

@apollo...love the etched tube protector , nice touch.

Thanks guys for the sincere words

A new pedal I have been working on. It's distortion with octave up.  It has a gate action and on low gain gives plenty of glitchy sounds.

There are very few builds I've seen that make those knobs look legitimately good, but this has been added to the list.

Another for the micro pedal board:

NO ticking?! 

[Cozybuilder]

None.

god....you're a mad man! It makes no sense how that schematic made its way into that box. it doesn't!

[davent]

You can't help but smile... that's crazy good Russ!

[stallik]

I think he got a dirty great tyre lever for X-Mass
Nice job man!

Heres a couple of shots to help anyone who wants to try stuffing a small box with a perf build. A couple of components had to be moved/changed: Ri (10M) had to be stood on end, power to the LED is from the header using routing from the empty hole by U2-4 to the empty hole by U3-11 to the daughterboard, and ground to the daughterboard is routed from the moved R1 through the new hole by U1-4. Look closely at the board shots, it'll make sense.

Blue = components on the same side of the perf and the wire directly attached on the other side of the board. The red is wires on the component side. Black is header pin and SIP sockets. LED resistor (R24) and its cap (47nF), R15, and the 2 pots are on the daughterboard.

brutally total honest to Russ Cozybuilder
can i marriage your brain just to get ideas?

   
kidding man

2 thumbs up for you

[midwayfair]

god....you're a mad man! It makes no sense how that schematic made its way into that box. it doesn't!

Actually, it gets even better: because he ADDED more components to it, for the millennium bypass.

I can't stop laughing at how awesome it is.

[~arph]

Yes, but imagine what he could stuff in there if he went smd....

[Perrow]

Look closely at the board shots, it'll make sense.

No. Just trust me, it won't.

Removing material from the box to fit the pots and DC jack, that makes sense.

Designing the board so it has the exact shape available to it, really makes sense.

Removing all but one of the tabs on the input and output jacks, also makes sense.

I'm guessing from the images that you actually cut some material from the jacks, to fit them closer to the top of the box, which strangely makes sense.

Managing to pull it off, makes no sense.

Good work there, truly impressive.

[Perrow]

By the way, using SIL sockets to fit stuff underneath the ICs, brilliant.
