Hello Stomboxes Diyers,

What I see all along this subject are pictures of tasteful, skilled artwork and high grade finishing job on your stomboxes... I simply do not have the knowledge, the perseverance nor the patience to go so far.
So my job is not so nice, but more technically affordable, I think.

Nice stuff! I've been experimenting with putting 1/8" plexi on top of some pedals too. When I get closer to finished, I'll post some pictures.

These build pictures are so inspiring and help us all try to achieve a higher standard as a personal goal as we do our pedal projects. This is very enjoyable to see and rewarding. Thank you all and keep them coming!

Nice job Thomeeque...

Is that shrink wrap for knobs? Interesting idea.

agreed. they sort of look like "knob socks".

Word of the day = knobsocks

Very cute build Thomeeque. Lots of jacks - are they for patching the order of effects?

Hides-His-Eyes · « **Reply #12648 on:** June 07, 2010, 05:27:21 AM »

Those knobsocks look pretty great, how were they made?

Thomeeque · « **Reply #12649 on:** June 07, 2010, 05:29:17 AM »

Thanks guys!!

Yep, knobsocks are shrink wrap

- I've wanted knobs to be as low as possible to be protected against accidental detuning or injury by inaccurate stomping and I did not found any suitable knobs in shops around so far, so this is workaround

Lots of jacks - are they for patching the order of effects? - nope, besides obligatory in&out there are two "monitor" outputs, one for tuner and one for further processing (envelope filter, noise-gate..), and then two stereo jacks for independent clean and over-drive FX loops.

It's really just a shrink wrap (6-7mm diameter in "cold" state) cut to length 1mm over lenght of the shaft, put on the shaft and then shrinked above candle

Nice calm relaxing work

..knobsocks are shrink wrap ..

Now I'm not sure if the "shrink wrap" is the right term actually - what I have used is called Heat-shrink tubing on the wiki.. Probably the same thing, but just to avoid any confusion..

I guessed you meant heatshrink, don't worry

My fault Thomeeque, for calling it shrink wrap. You're right, it's heat shrink. Shrink wrap is the plastic film that Hammond boxes comes wrapped in, for example.

I estimate that page 666 is 2 months away, maybe a little less. We really should have a competition..............

What an amazing build, Thomeeque, I'm stunned, that's a fantastic piece of work!

imbuedblue · « **Reply #12658 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:27:31 PM »

Thomeeque, that is an absolutely stunning build.

Nikolay · « **Reply #12659 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:52:15 PM »

Not exactly the effect, but this is my first pedalboard design.

I make it form aluminium profile 20/80/2 mm and weight 1.3Kg.

Next time I will fix some stuff to look better.
