Hey Paul are those Hammond 'B' sized boxes on the 'lower' half? they're labelled like OSC-1 and VIB-1 and TREM PRO and another few I can't make out. 'Cause that's a real cool size!
Title: post pics of your diy pedals
Post by: Paul Marossy on February 11, 2004, 03:55:39 PM
Yep, some of those are Hammond B size boxes.
A few are boxes I bought from http://www.hoffmanamps.com, I don't know the manufacturer, though. They don't have any markings indicating who the manufacturer is. I like them a little better than the Hammond boxes because theya are a little bit roomier inside.

Yeah, I'm a fool for a distortion pedal... I know I can't possibly use them all in one sitting, but they are fun to build, none-the-less.

I think I'm going to build a Phase 45 next.

Hi,
Good idea .
The MXR Phase 90 with Tonepad Version B Layout with BF 244 is a good idea too.

Thanks! It's the dark t-shirt transfer stuff Charlie discovered.

To add to that subject, I recently had to strip a box covered in the stuff, and it sticks like a mother!

Hey 1wahfreak:

How did you get that angled metalic finish on your pedals? It looks great. I would love for my pedals to look like that.
Title: post pics of your diy pedals
Post by: 1wahfreak on February 12, 2004, 01:20:01 AM
Thanks for the kudos.....I used pieces of scotch of tape to form random size triangles. For each triangle made with the tape, I sanded the area between the pieces of tape in a different direction. After a few passes, the areas start to overlap. The light reflects differently depending on which way it was sanded.
I'm trying another test so bear with me if this doesn't work...

Hey Dan,

It looks like you used the T-shirt transfer paper to do the sides. Was that difficult? Any tips on how to do it?

 Seeing these creations makes me want to either go out and buy boxes, paint, Dark Transfer materials, and a thinking cap...or just leave the old spray can on the shelf...and use JB to functionally secure the RACO punchouts...lol...

Post by: 1wahfreak on February 12, 2004, 07:53:19 PM
I used an orbital sander (220 than 320) to get everything smooth and even. Once it's that smooth, any little scratch shows up so it's really easy to sand by hand with 220. Then it was just a matter of sticking the tape on and creating the triangles. I would say the whole thing took about 1.5 hrs.
For the lettering, I went to my local art store and found some black decal stock. The font was done in Autocad. Then I used a presision cutter at work that is able to cut through the decal but not through the back release liner. I peeled away the areas that were scrap which left only the letters attached to the liner. The trick with decal is to use a "pre-mask" to lift the letters off of the release liner. The pre-mask adhesive has enough tackiness to remove the letters from the original release liner but still keep the original layout in tact. Once it's peeled from the original liner the decal adhesive is exposed and can be applied to the box in the same layout as I drew in Autocad. Does that make sense? I could post a few more pics but my new "free" server space is already at it limits for bandwidth. I'll see if I can upgrade this weekend.

Hey csj, I really like the look of your wooden pedal.  Do you have any problems with shielding?  Using wood sounds like a great idea.  Easy to drill, heftier than plastic, probably easier to finish, and it looks great.  Nice job.

Bill, doing the sides was just like doing the top. 4 precut pieces ironed on. One thing to be careful of is positioning the transfer on a hot box. It really wants to stick!

Finished this one earlier today, it is a clone of the death by audio dealy built from the excellent pictoral ansil posted in the beginner forum, unfortanatly the clear coat wrecked havoc with my lables, but it kinda adds to the vibe of this particular pedal.
