You should probably use the search function, there is a pretty extensive thread on the subject.

You guys aren't much help.  My circuit box with a burst button needs a big copper coil.

^Can you send us close-up photos and a schematic of your broken Burst Box Circuit?   It would also help to know what sounds (if any) you're getting out if it now.

Yeah, Jeremy. Sort of like seeing an old friend you always knew was weird, but still liked.

I am under my stupid opinion than we should let the original thread live on in all of its glory, and let this one go to sand. The original thread is the second most epic series on the Internet. This is the first: http://recording.org/hybrid-recording-forums/21776-expert-sugguestions-advanced-guitar-recording-setup.html

Insulting people isn't going to be much help. Maybe a little more information on your part might help you find what you are looking for.

There is a massive thread on this exact same topic, as other members have already linked to.

My Burst Box idea actually takes a slightly different twist...

Basically - dependant on attack - a couple of amps of live juice is run back into an isolated copper panel ive mounted on the back plate of the guitar, a little salt water/sweat/skin contact and a workbench power supply.

The harder I play the better the bursts and stutters - it even multi-tools over to the vocal work without mods.

Love it.

No, I got mad at it and sold it at a yard sale to some fanboy.

That thread doesn't do me much good, it's just a bunch of folks arguing about my Trem Probes and pictures of Scarlett Johansson (although I did enjoy those)

I really miss my Burst Box, I wish I hadn't sold it so that maybe one of you guys could fix it, but I was just so angry.  It stopped working so I filled it full of peanut butter and sold it.

You guys, please figure out what this thing was so I can have another one.  It did this...

Foo, Jack, if you're still here, under another name, step forward and show some folks that taking your hits as a newb doesn't stop one from becoming a pleasant, positive, and enthusiastic forumite.

You see  when I necrobumped this here (NINE YEARS AGO, and the thread was already old), I thought that the Late Great Jack White was ressurrecting the original Burst Box thread.

I just noticed (like, RIGHT NOW) that this is another one.
