Hi!
Here is my new project MBP Low Rider. I re-named this: octApus.
I use the 1N34 diodes and 2N5457 transistors, and the fuzz mod instruction.

Absolutely beautiful:) ... and its a great circuit, i love my lowrider.
What technique do you use for those deep-reliefed etches? laser? Because it is "deep", right, my eyes arent fooling me?
Cheers!

Yes, laser engraving.
Classy build mate, perfect inside and out. Really need to find a friend with a laser engraver ;), Matt.
Hey, I like that orange! The etch is really sweet-looking too. My Lowrider is hanging around waiting for a box, and I was actually thinking of orange or yellow. I used the 2n5457s and 1n34s for D1 & 2 as well and like it a lot.
Excellent graphic!
I got super incredible excited and curious when I saw the light halo, but then I realized it was your overhead lighting. Ah well!
You should enter this in the contest if you haven't already. :)
Really cool build dude.
Love the wiring too; neat and tidy like it should be!

I did too, I was stoked. The inside is so clean.
This is a seriously good-looking build, inside and out! And your work bench looks so organized..... How do you do that? ;)

Thanks guys!
I like the organized inside and outside (and work bench ;) ). I think, the pedal-building is an ART.

Me three
Even without the light halo, this is a super build, so neat inside & out!
Now who is going to be first to build a real light halo into their enclosure???
Pedals like this really make me wish I had laser engraving capabilities...looks fantastic.
That's a beautiful build. I too was suckered by the overhead lighting (LED ring light?) but it looks great regardless. Nice wiring, too.
A quick demo from my octApus (octaver) pedal. Sorry for the quality and guitar themes. :P
That thing is great! I want to add it to my list. Is it tricky to build, like they say?

Ha! Me too, I thought it was cut out of the enclosure with some sort of diffuser inside and lit up by LEDs from underneath. I've thought about doing that but haven't actually tried it.

No. If you have a little bit electronic knowledge, no problem.

Excellent. I guess it's "genius" level because of all the components. I'll add it to the list after my ross comp and honey dripper and dist+ and pepper spray and stage fright.

Just listen to the mark of parts (capacitors, IC-s, transistors, diodes).

wait, you built a honey dripper? This should be a longer more tedious walk in the park then. I've built plenty of pedals and effed up an easy I e and a hard one. Just take your time.

I'm still working on the honey dripper. It's not done yet.
Ooohhhh. Just take your time, everything will work out fine.
Love the idea that one pot lighting up to indicate when its on. Great job!
