Title: BendOver / BlüeMønster / DirtTriumvirate / StageFright / Buzzsaw
Post by: juansolo on September 09, 2013, 04:35:04 PM
Clint

Using up more of Matt's secret stash of transistors, this is Matt's Bend Over. Grind Custom's silicon Bender. Rather good it is too.

SuperVan MultiFuzz

Steve's Dirt Triumvirate box of all kinds of dirtiness. Which it does rather well. I also made the Cerberus which is rather smashing, but have come to the conclusion that octave fuzzes aren't really my thing, so that'll be appearing for trades shortly.

Blüe Mønster

Bengt's box of brilliance. I love this thing! Really easy to dial in some very sweet tones.

Get to the Choppa!

More Arnie for Lew. Another that doesn't photograph well considering how good it looks in the flesh :( It's a Madbean Stagefright  (Maestro Phaser). Quite a tight fit!

Buzzsaw re-decal

Another re-decal. Mopping up the last few of the pedals that were done during my printer's red phase. I decided to put something different on the Buzzsaw this time. Because I can.

Clint and Arnie both packing heat?!?!?!

Perhaps your best post ever Juanny.

(Remember that Juan works in partnership with Cleggy, so the production rate is skewed somewhat...

Awesome batch of rawr.

I wish I could get those knobs to look good. :( They look like crap on everything I put them on but they look right on all of your builds.

Just bought about 300 of the things! The originals are no longer in production (Rean), so we've found some more that are also going oop. Cleaned out the supplier :)

Yeah the throughput is a little skewed due to Cleggy doing his thang also. Neither of us work so this is our 'job' also. Shortly there'll be pictures of 'the process' ;)

Cleggy also hasn't posted what he's built. He does need to get his finger out on that one!

Your graphics are always amazing.  Great looking pedals!

Wow, there's a lot of good stuff going in with all of these.  Highlights for me are:

1) no visible wires on the Stage Fright

2) love the Cookie Monster graphic

3) the buzz saw graphic is also great.  Is that from Heavy Metal? It's been a while since I've seen it.

I wish I could say that was easy to do... There was a bit of swearing happening yesterday when I did that as I was 1mm out on one of the holes, a gentle reaming of the hole and some filing of the board sorted it...

It just fit so perfectly I had to use it.

It's an album cover. Wo Fat - The Black Code

They've got some great covers.

FAntastic batch, as jkokura said, it might be your best that I've come across!

What's changed recently is that we're getting better quality powder coated boxes than we used to (from Coles and Stevie. See buy/sell/trade), Cleggy has nailed pouring Envirotex to the point that he rarely has to polish them these days and it turns out like glass, and my printer has a new head in it and is realising colours properly again. In that respect they're definitely the best finished enclosures we've ever done.

Otherwise I've sort of settled into my way of doing things, so all I do these days is tweak it here and there.
