I uploaded pics of 2 pedals that I recently built.  

"FUZZ"  is a fuzzface
"FENDER TUBE" is the fetzervalve




Not sure if this will work!  so,

Cool! What are the enclosures usually used for and what method did you use to shield it? I like the small size and the placement of the knob(s).

PB Wilson

I also see that you built Runoff Groove's Fetzer Valve. Quick work! I know the circuit is small, but that's a very quick turn-around! It takes me forever to get a pedal finished once I start. :roll:

How does it sound?

Gringo

Very neat!

I like the minimalistic approach, oh,  and the ps jacks :)

This reminds me i need to box something, asap
Cut it large, and smash it into place with a hammer.

Of course you know this will give away my secret enclosures  :lol:
I use plastic chewing tobacco cans-example:Kodiak, Skoal, etc...

For the shielding issue, I always use shielded wire from input and output jacks to switch, unless I don't happen to use a switch, then directly to the board.

Yes, quick and easy project, not sure how it sounds yet.  I will take it home and check it out.  I am still at work.

Thanks Gringo!  Yes, I always use a power supply, not batteries.  Can get expensive buying batteries all the time.

Thanks for the interest!!!
Peace!

Looks great!

How did you shield the inside, with conductive paint?

Doug,
      As I wrote above, I use shielded wires.    I buy long runs of cables that you plug say a cassette deck to your power amp, you know the red and white connectors.   I cut the ends off and use that wire.   At the jack ins and outs I hook up the shiled to ground lug and center lead to positive tip of jacks.  The other end only the center lead, I cut off the shileding and use heatshrink so the shielding doesn't touch anything and ground it out.

I tried out the fetzervalve this morning before work and it is really great!
I can get a nice bluesy sound and I can crank it up with humbucker and get the spirit in the sky sound.  Real neat pedal design!!!!
   I recommend this build!

Peace!
