Last News:ITS MINE !! GO AWAY < I WANT < I WANT IT < I WANT IT
The Murder One for the prize will be built in a 666 themed enclosure etched by me!
We hope to see your evil-detailed designs!
Good luck!
Does the pedal have to be an original circiut ?
Or can it be a clone ? hacked together/stomp on/ fuzz wah built in a stuffed piece of road kill (damn I gave away my secret :icon_twisted:)
I mean ,is the competition the effect or the enclosure its in ?
Also can you enter more than one ?
I have two ideas now perfect for this....(since I gave away the roadkill one)
also you might want to add that 'gut shots are mandatory' or we could all just design demonic cases with no 'entrails'
- Your pedal must be 'demonic'
how "demonic"??? :icon_cool:You know.. 666... Number of the beast... demons... Demonic designs is what we're looking for.
Can it be a design made before the competition but not built yet? I've got a tube pedal that I haven't built yet but would love to enter, after modifying it for some darker tones as well. Is this legal?
And Deadastronaut, what about gingers? They have no souls :P
Slade and I will decide on the winner. The judges decision is final. No bribes will be accepted.......!
Very Tempting !Of course, let's bite the apple, it won't hurt you...
Meet me at the crossroads and we'll cut a deal on your soul dude........

I have a pretty good idea for an entry, but there is no way I'll get it done in time for the contest. :(
I estimate that page 666 is 2 months away, maybe a little less.
So instead, can I suggest that whoever wins the Murder One consider getting together with Rick and Slade to come up with another contest whose prize would be the winning entry of this contest? It would be great to have a continuing community-run contest to encourage people to push their own limits.
Surely 8 weeks is time enough for deciding on the build, ordering parts and building! Shall we have another competition based on the date that the Pictures! thread reaches page 666?
I don't think the winner should have to part with their winning entry - kind of defeats the object for me - all that effort just to give it away - the competition has to be no strings attached. But it would be great if someone else did 'sponsor' a future build-off.
Does it have to be a Pedal...? How about my Robert Johnson Crossroads Diddley Bow i'm about to make. :icon_mrgreen:
Is that a hinge as a bridge? Wow - I want sound clips.Yeah me too !! That thing does look too cool to sound terrible.Tune it to open G a get an old medican bottle Merceyeh. :icon_twisted:
Of course I thought that was a lap steel type guitar ,A Diddly Bo only has one string which looking closer I can see they only had one on there.Is that a hinge as a bridge? Wow - I want sound clips.Yeah me too !! That thing does look too cool to sound terrible.Tune it to open G a get an old medican bottle Merceyeh. :icon_twisted:
Where's Sean K ?
He probably has already made one.
Hey Sean....
will have to think up something more devilishly fiendish whooooooarrgghhhhh....Remember the first rule. :icon_twisted:

- Your pedal must be 'demonic'
I am so excited about this!!! My first competition lol! My instinct was to be like "omgomgomg finish the pedal now!!!!" but no, the pics thread still has time. Gotta let the evilness fester and get mega mega angry on this one!
hey slade/frequencycentral, even though you guys aren't allowed enter, are you going to do a build for it? i know there's a demonic murder one up for grabs, but what about slade? can we expect a showcase piece with extra added angry?
ah right. it'll look awesome then. cant wait to see some of the entries for this.Ok, we'll try and post some design previews. :icon_twisted:
667
.......the neighbour of the beast!o.k that made me laugh so hard i spit coffee all over my keyboard !!!
if we happen to get it finished before submission date, can we post our efforts here? not that i'm anywhere near finished, but it looks like i'll be 99% done by the weekend or early next week.
and what happens if it goes to 667?...hmmmm....rules...rules...rules....... :icon_eek:
- You must post your finished pedal on the Pictures! thread on page 666 or any of the following pages providing it is posted on the same day that the Pictures! thread reaches page 666
- Your finished pedal must also be posted on this thread on the same day
So its fairly simple.if we happen to get it finished before submission date, can we post our efforts here? not that i'm anywhere near finished, but it looks like i'll be 99% done by the weekend or early next week.
I think it would be more exciting to hold off until page 666 comes around. Don't let the cat out of the bag too early.and what happens if it goes to 667?...hmmmm....rules...rules...rules....... :icon_eek:
- You must post your finished pedal on the Pictures! thread on page 666 or any of the following pages providing it is posted on the same day that the Pictures! thread reaches page 666

Anyone else will participate?
I'm waiting... Patiently.
I'm waiting... Patiently.
Patience is a virtue. Why do the virtuous want to get to page 666? Oh, and good timing - your reply was number 66 on the 666 thread.
Quick question. I've a few jumpers on the underside of my board for this. For the whole manditory gut shot thing, does the underside have to be shown? I really dont want to have to take out all the screws......
666 = (6+6+6) + (6*6*6) + (6*6*6) + (6*6*6)Verified!
im gutted that after a year of getting my builds up to scratch i have to opt out of this to concentrate on my uni work :-( however im like totally super excited to see everyones finished results. They are going to be awesometastic
Not sure if I'm gonna enter. Haven't really the experience needed to come up with something fiendish. At least not visually, anyway. But I'm sure going to enjoy the competition anyway, there's bound to be some good ideas to be inspired by. : ;D
Yeah, i'm eagerly awaiting to see the strange & eccentric things that could easily pop up from this competition. Not entering, too much stuff to do & not really a fan of the whole "fiendish" idea anyways.Don't worry, we're already thinking on the 777...
here where I live 777 would be the subtitle and explanation page for deaf people on tv... :P could be interesting for a music-related contest as this one...

Your 888th post Chris!

Hi everyone, I'm a new member - only just registered on the forum today. This looks like a great place to learn about electronics and stuff. The 666 competition seems like a lot of fun!!! I will definitely be entering. :icon_twisted:This is a cartel! :icon_lol:

Are you guys going to collaborate and destroy (or should I say incinerate) the competition on every conceivable level? :icon_eek:

:icon_twisted:
Well the AC has been out at my house the last couple of days.It was out last week a couple days too.That sucks! You need AC out there. To dame HOT! Hope you can make the entry.
And the pics thread suddenly took off,alot faster than was originally thought...
So I may not even make a single entry,I had hoped to post two...
If the AC is fixed tonight I will try to finish the first one,not happy with the graphics but,not enough time to redo em.
Plus I have got several songs I have to learn by Saturday(correctly...),or I am likely to get cut from my new band (paying gigs) :icon_eek: (Zepplin tribute band,and I play Page)
I will be lucky to assemble it before the the thread hits 666 ::)
wait, we can enter more than one pedal!?

This forum has 20 posts per page (I think), as I write we are at reply #13287 on the Pictures! thread, so reply #13300 will the first post on page 666. Say 14 nice things about my recently posted pedal (http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=36392.msg721285#msg721285) and we're there!

Here we go!
It Begins :icon_twisted:
Youre all so evil. Sickeningly evil. Would anyone like some cannon?
edit:
FC/Slade, Could you give an OFFICIAL close time please?
The clock stops in 24 hours. I make that 4th August at 09:10:57 PM GMT (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time/scripts/clock-8/runner.php)
Thanks rick. :) The overall prize aside, can we expect any "work" from you???
Well, I'm bummed... was just getting ready to go breadboard my evil genius idea, and decided to make sure I might have one more day so I could actually have a chance of getting everything inside tomorrow.You think you're bummed, I had professionaly made PCBs made for my entry, but time is an evil mistress.
Gotta do another one of these, in this style. I only noticed this about 3 days ago, and basically didn't get my parts til today :P Contests like these (even just for bragging rights) are motivating :D
oh my.
is the red one for sale? i would love to own that.
First entry >two Dr Boogies
Solderman's entry MIA > Dr Boogie
Mine also MIA > Dr Boogie
LOL
Should be the Dr Boogie contest,
I would wager Dead Astronaut's was also a DB
I Doubt I will make the deadline :icon_evil:
At least my AC is working today... :icon_cool:
Almost there with two hours left...Good luck.
Might make it,maybe not,soldering it up now. ???
The entries so far look really good,up half the night finishing my graphics.
Now to solder in the off board components and take pics and post,fingers crossed.
Got it all done today. B.S.I.A.B. II clone :icon_twisted:

Lol, that's definitely unique, but how do you turn the effect on/off? With your feet?
http://www.demonsdisks.com/pics/skullripper.jpgMade it with 2 minutes and 11 seconds to spare LOL
man, it was a pain to wire inside that skull !!
Switch that turns the fuzz is on top of the skull and will also light the eyes. There are 2 pots, one on each ear to control tone. The switch in the nose flips between 2 different diodes that severely change the sound.
Poor skull, you have to stomp it right on the nose! (Or where the nose had demonically decayed into a footswitch).
Not even a metal box, now that's demonic :-D.
With this thread getting almost 6000 views, seven entries is piss poor IMO (not sore just wanted to see more entries)
They're also expecting to see anothers ;)With this thread getting almost 6000 views, seven entries is piss poor IMO (not sore just wanted to see more entries)Where are they?

First of all, thanks to everyone who took part, it's been really enjoyable and they are all great looking builds. However, there can be only one..................
............but before the one, the unholy trinity that is the top 3, in order posted:

That looks awesome.
I think the only people that should complain about the low participation were the ones that submitted something.
But had the competition been who can find the best artwork to use/steal from the net then well....Mine too but it's not against the rules.
My rankings would be different.
Well, if you want, you can be fourth right now! :icon_twisted:
- Your pedal must be 'demonic'
Evil themed scores mucho points. Slade and I hope to be able to judge each on their own merits. Anyone who's work we know who has really 'upped their game' would have a better chance than a 'top' builder who produces 'more of the same' - so known 'top' builders would have to better their own best. Essentially you're competing against yourself. Stunning originality would count for a lot too, so if you produce a ProCo Rat with the 3pdt mounted up the butt of a real dead rat, with flashing red LEDs mounted in the eye sockets and with it's little furry limbs shrouding the pot shafts - you'd be bound to win. But that's my idea so you can't use it. :icon_mrgreen:
One could even vote Joe for first if it was based soley on the builders past builds.The only thing that makes me call him 3rd is the bat boost isnt as Evil as the other two entries.
@ TUCKSTER /jURGEN
"I" think yours IS the best entry hands down.
But that is just IMO...
What counts is what Rick and Slade think.
What you did is far,far harder than just fading a pic and printing it out.
The detail in your etching is superb and the horn tips make it the shizzle REALLY,then you add in the knobs,well...
The only thing I would change about your build is the FS washer,a copper washer would have been much nicer.
Still very sweet build.
I now have an entire folder full of artwork,that I downloaded from the web I agree ,almost everyone uses art they download.
Even mine was taken from the web,But I just used parts and hand drew alot of it (mostly the border and crosses)
I also think Joes is really good,especially knowing what the majority of his pedals look like.
I dont recall ever seeing any of Galego's builds,but the two he entered are excellent,well made and very Pro looking.
I think the toughest part lies ahead for the judges,I dont envy them having to decide a winner.
All 3 are winners IMO,and the entries from 87% were really good too,must have been hard to narrow it down to the 3 they did.
I love the knobs on the cannon build.
Shipping from Chile to UK...............then some more work..............then shipping to................
That looks awesome.
I think the only people that should complain about the low participation were the ones that submitted something.
I think anyone who frequents this forum has a right to express an opinion.
But given your line of reasoning ,It could have been said "only those who donated the prize would have the right to complain about the low number of entries".
After seeing the quality of the builds entered I am hardly upset I didnt make the deadline,as mine wouldnt have had a chance anyway.
Even had it been finished completely and entered in time.
I just would have liked to seen more builds,I like looking at what others imiginations can produce.
Like I said early on in this thread...I will just revel in the excellence of what others can do where I can't.
Can't wait for him to log in! We were going to PM him but decided to wait.........
Will he cry? smile!!
Has the anticipation killed him? no because I thought I wouldn't win
Will he make a acceptance speech? see below
Does his soul now belong to the Devil? I do think so :icon_twisted:
Is he gargling Lucifer's mayonaisse? no too much dry pizza in my mouth :icon_wink:
It was great fun to run the comp with Fernando. This really was just a one-off though, as sadly neither of use can afford to give stuff away for free regularly. Another competition would be fun at some point in the future, but run on a different basis. Here's my idea: a fixed term competition (say three months) which entrants have to subscribe to (say $10 per entry) within the first month, the prize fund to be held in a paypal account, the winner takes all. Not sure how the comp would be themed, or who would judge it? Only problem I can see is people falling out when money is involved.I would like to enter this one, can you give me 10 bucks, old man?
Hey tuckster, by the way, Fernando says how did you get hold of his toe nail clippings to make the horns with?Genius ;D
Yeah, apparently Slade is the master of the fine etch, but often gets hopelessly lost walking to the post office. ::)
i bet tuckster does as well.... ;)
hi all, this is my option for competition.
metal massacre.
could i enter to the competition now?
Damm :icon_cry:
Rick, where'd you get those plastic pot covers? I haven't been able to find a source.

happy birthday and well done dude!....nice prezzie... :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
The paper decals is to be schanged for water slides soon.
Sounds brutal :icon_mrgreen:. The foot switch looks awfully close to the knobs, is there a chance that you accidentally hit them?
