I have been able to learn an awful lot the past couple of months. It wouldn't have been easy if it weren't for this site. Anyhow, I wanted to share some of the projects I have been able to complete with the help of this site and the people on the boards.
Here is the Tonebender MKII clone I made last week:

Here is a voltage regulator I built to starve my fuzzpedals:

I don't know if I am ready to show off the insides of the pedals yet. :oops:
I will say that I have gotten alot better about wiring stuff up in a neat way. The last pedal I made (Tonebender mkII) was much better than a couple other projects I have done.
Thanks everyone!
I can't see the pictures. :-(

That's weird because the photos seemed to show up on the page when I open up the thread. I posted them on Photobucket anyhow. i hope these work:

They look good Zen, everytime I see nice looking finished pedal's I get envious, I have 8 pedals in various stage's of being almost finished, maybe 1 of these day's I'll take the time to paint and letter some of them.

Those are cool! You used the T-shirt transfers for those?? I gotta try that one of these days...

How do you like the tonebender? How does it compare to other classic fuzzes?
Really beautiful. Keep the great work.
Thanks guys...
The tonebender is not quite complete. I have done some research and it seems that the gating it is getting is due to a misbiased Q3 transistor. I am going to spend some time clearing that up this weekend. Otherwise, it is a pretty wild fuzz. Lots of gain on tap.
Your pedals look great. I like the space themes. Thanks for posting the pictures. It's nice to see the end results of people's hard work.
