Not world beating, but its my "own little design" now boxed !!
This is a gift for a friend in Berlin, who's a "budding star" !
Schem is in my layouts above.

I like the "Pete Cornish" style graphics on the side. :lol:  :lol:

i love your stuff, marty!  the gold rub-on works beautifully.  and thanks for the circuit.  someday, maybe, i will be able to do what you have already contributed.

Nice work. I noticed you had animage of something labeled Tremolo Ring mod.

I'm guessing this is the John Hollis Ring Frobnicator? I remember you posted a fix for this of adding an extra diode between the two LEDs.

Looks great! ... what brand of clear coat I've tried Rustoleum and Krylon to use on my Hammered Finished Rustoleum boxes and both have bubbled! ...

Yup, that's the "Ring Frobnicator"
There is a post about a "fix" but I dont remember adding a diode, just
matching 3mm red LED's I think ?

Thanks for the positive responses chaps
For such a simple circuit, you get a very good range of sounds and also
a decent "clean" boost at low gain ans high vol !!

ooh nice lettering. what sort of/where did you get/how is it applied etc.

Craft shop, "lettraset" which you "rub on" with a soft pencil.
It's real obvious stuff, doesn't stick too well so you need to clearcoat it.
I've used a "fixative" on the lettering first but it seemed to make no
diffrerence !
That's "Old English Gothic" script and you can find quite a few versions
and different size's too.
The nice thing is, after its dried it looks like "part of the box" ! you don't
see any "edges" at all - V COOL

BTW Clear coat was "colourful arts" clear laquer also from a craft shop.
