I dig that color/knob combo on the "HYPE" pedal.  That thing looks super clean.

Thanks guys I'm so glad you all like yours as much as I like mine

Beautiful guitar. Details man, we need details (like, for example, where did you get that beautiful silver foil humbucker?)

I have a build thread about it on another forum that I can try to find a link to...It was custom built by a local company to my specs.  I am kind of a LP guy converted to a tele guy so there are lots of LP-ish quality.

Body and neck are both mahogany and the the neck actually has a fat 50's LP profile and a 12" radius. Ebony board. Neck and Body both have a nitro dog hair finish. Body has a huge 1/2" roundover. Bridge is kinda weird...it is essentially a fixed bridge (saddles don't move), so it feels more like a bigsby than a fulcrum. Two sunken crazy oversized knobs (because I like crazy oversized knobs haha) and the pickgaurd is actually sandblasted aircraft aluminum.

The pickups are from mojotone.  It is not actually a silverfoil though.  I asked if they could squeeze a wide range humbucker into their silver foil enclosure and they accommodated Bridge pickup is a higher output broadcaster style

Guitar: I went from being a guitar hoarder to this single guitar, which will never leave my possession




Amp: I prefer my beat up old fender champ
Pickup: I like wide range humbuckers and normally only use my neck pickup
Strap: no preference
Strap locks: I actually use strap holders for a bass
Everything else is always changing

Let me start by saying I really have no business writing a build thread...because the actual real building was done by other forum members (I just designed and made the enclosures). But nonetheless, I love looking at everyone's builds and draw inspiration from them so I thought others might like to see the products of these collaborative efforts...I just can't speak on anything electrical haha.

Basically the Drolo circuit collection - three of his circuits.

The twin peaks ("Harmonic Tremulator") and liquid mercury ("Phase Modulator") were built by Cappone (aka Rumbletone), who did fantastic work. He also wired the phaser with phase stage switches, a cool mod.



The giant hogweed was built by Steve (TGP39) who did an equally awesome job! This is perhaps my favorite pedal I have ever owned! Yeah I misspelled giant haha (my wife proofreads my designs now lol), but I choose to act like I did it on purpose since it is a gain pedal 

Nice looking unit!
this build is so clean! And the etch too.
Where did you found this kind of led socket?

Thanks again y'all. Can't wait until he gets it.

Don't know where the bezel came from, maybe Dan will chime in.

Wow, great work all around! I know Dan usually prefers to go a size bigger for the box but his design and etch on this 1590A looks fantastic too!

True!  I did a little finger crossing but glad he agreed. Love it

The fresnels were from mouser or Onlinecomponents, I can find the part number later and post it. They are for thicker enclosures, but nothing a tight hole and a little superglue can't fix.

And yeah, this was a stretch for me. I didn't realize how heavily I rely on large pot markers, etc in my designs until I couldn't use them haha. It was a bit out of my comfort zone but I think the next one will be better, I have some ideas brewing

Very cool. Love the graphics and that color with the black sparkle.

Love the graphics! And the led bezels have a cool look. Do you have washers under standard LED bezels?

Looks awesome loaded man

I am working with lincolnic on this, so I thought I would butt in and elaborate a bit...we are not looking to use clean lens.  We want to use colored lens. We both typically use diffused LEDs, but weren't sure if diffused leds behind the colored lens would be too dim. Having heard the waterclear LEDs are typically much brighter, we were wondering if that was the more common led choice with colored fresnel lens.  For example a Red Fresnel lens with a red waterclear led (not a white led that would wash out the color).  It sounds like Haberdasher kind of confirmed this though, because the fresnel would essentially give the brighter waterclear a diffused layer?
