Hey all - I have been off from diy'ing for.. I'm not sure how long, but it feels like years! I'm curious if there's been any projects recently that capture a Whammy-like harmonizing effect? I recall FV-1 was gaining territory, but was limited in some ways. Have there been any other DIY projects that get close? Thank you! Hope you all are doing well!

I've only built the lunar module deluxe, but it's been my go to fuzz/distortion for about 8 years now.

Holy hell! Thank you. I've been playing a classic 30 for 10 years now. Maybe I'll give her a good moding in there while it's open. Any tips?

Also check out the Body (sharpness on schematic) on Skreddy's lunar module for a second way to control bass pre-fuzz.

Not sure if you have access to a router, that's what I'd recommend.  But understand that if you are stuck at home, getting access to a router may not be an option. 

I'd offer, but I'm in Australia, so you can probably find someone closer postage-wise.

I do have a dremel, but I'm pretty unfamilair with the tips. I imagine a cut off wheel isn't it 

Have you tried cutting it with just an xacto knife. I cut a back plate recently and it was tedious but it worked. Score it lightly at first, then you gradually get deeper. The curves don't have to be exact, you can get it close enough, then sand it smooth.

I have not! It seemed very thick! I think I have room for about two more on my plastic sheet, I'll have to give it a shot.

FYI, this is the guard. It's a big boy.

In an attempt to work on projects while being stuck at home, I've come to putting a new pick guard together for a project. I have so far broken two saws, and mangled a lot of plastic.

If anyone has the capability to cut a pick guard, needs something to do and some money or trade for parts, I'd love to get some help. This is clearly something I do not have the capability to do!

It's not a normal pick guard, or I'd buy it off the shelf. Just looking for black, single ply, no beveled edge needed. I can send measurements or plastic sheet or files or whatever is needed. Thank you!

Why email invoice? The item is still available to add to cart, although it's come down to $3 from $4 it was a few days ago... where is that damn coupon!

Hugo at Tayda sent this link - hadn't seen this info before! https://www.taydaelectronics.com/uv-printing

Wow, that looks great! I hope they keep this service around and relatively affordable.

Still up for me - $4 instead of $2 though. Willybomb - what did the files look like that you sent them?

In Eagle (and maybe other schematic programs), that symbol represents the power rails of the IC, and the numbers are the pin numbers. Notice the IC used has 8 pins, and you can find three on each triangle opamp, and the remaining two on the power symbol.

They are spaced out like two lines because they are 'meant' to be laid over one of the opamp symbols to make it look like they were coming out of the top and bottom of the triangle.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the replies guys.

My mind is blown that people snip then solder. I refuse to believe this isn't a dream.

I don't understand how you would even be able to solder without the component falling out if you don't bend the leads

^This is fundamentally why I started the thread. .

We're talking sniping, not bending! Of course you have to bend, unless you use blue tak or similar.

I am sorry Aentons, I didn't mean to come off harsh here and it reads like an over reaction. Apologies.

The dog pic that pops up during the Florist demo make me lol.
