Got asked to build one with similar cosmetics so I dug around in my vintage parts stash- even the perf is from the 70's. ;D

Trannys are 2N2222 and a BC109C. I made a couple of hidden mods too, a treble bleed (on back of board) and a C-taper depth pot.

The enclosure is a 125B cut down into a wedge with a hack saw, (pinched that idea from John Lyons)

Sweet!
Is it bad that the part I'm most jealous of the 70s perf?
John Lyons actually pinched that idea from a dude on the DIYSB picture thread. JL was really quick on the uptake, though.
Never thought of taking a hacksaw to an enclosure but I might have to steal that idea too. I've been curious about the fuzz rite for a while, need to put it on the list.
Very cool build inside and out!
Beautiful all over.
This is great! It is obvious a lot of time and effort went into this one. Sound clip???
Very impressive!
Really cool build.
Love the finish and etch (and the Mojo sauce inside ;))
Perfect as always codtone :)
Loving your enclosures, and I might steal that idea too hehe. Cheers!
Impressive! 8)
Really nice :) Vintage look inside and out!
Thanks Gents!
Sorry, no clip , ship's sailed already.
I pinched the hacksaw thing from someone who pinched it from someone else...so steal away remorselessly!
Cutting the enclosure isn't too bad, though I suspect it'd have been much easier if I had a power saw.
You'll need to drill and re-tap the short end too if you try it.
It's actually a pretty easy build- 4 caps and 4 resistors, 2 trannies, 2 pots and that's pretty much it!
The most laborious part was re-creating the artwork. I had to make that circle with the serrated sides by hand, drew a circle then cut in each serration... ::)
Great work, Ben.
I'd borrow that hack saw trick, but I know I'll get it crooked and just ruin the box. >:(

Pretty sure it was Mike-
Haveyouseenhim who also posts here, that first showed this hack.
Great looking build.!When i first saw it thought it would work well in one of Mac Walker's wedge enclosures and then noticed the enclosure had been wedgified. Nicely done!.

Thanks!
I definitely owe someone a beer.
I saw those Mac enclosures, they look cool.

I had second thoughts on my foggy memory and went back for a look.
Tone Tested Designs was the man i was thinking of with the hacksaw way back in Dec.. http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=36392.msg882120#msg882120
Beautiful build, Ben. Great attention to detail.
so you had to build a new back cover?? what's the final measure?
I used the original base plate.
I just eye-ballled the angle using the baseplate as a measure.
...I know, shouldn't work, Pythagoras and all that...
But it works for two reasons, firstly, the baseplates are usually a bit longer at both ends than the box.
Second, we're not making a simple triangle, the front and back sides already slope, after it's cut the front and back are no longer at right angles to the base either.
All these things seem to give you enough wiggle room to pull it off. ;D
thanks alot. I'll try this.
