Hey all! Hope everyone had a great holiday season. I'm still recovering from a moonshine incident on New Years Eve! :P Ugh... Anyway, here are a couple of recent builds I thought I would share. Hope you like em!
Nuke the Moon EXP (STM optical tremolo in an expression enclosure):

sweet! super clean !
Wow, those are epic. Love that etch.
"Nobody puts baby on the bottom of a wah enclosure."
Both are just beautiful. Love the shoot the moon build.
Really, really great builds. What does the expression pedal control (if anything)?
I prefer my Trems in a 125B, but I would be super proud to have one of yours on my pedalboard.

Yeah! That STM is great! I loved it. The etch and paint are great! ;) Be proud of it! :)
Hector

The expression pedal controls the speed of the tremolo. I built it for a friend who really wanted a trem he could control on the fly.
Things of beauty! 8)
Both of these builds are immense.
Love em'
Shoulda put a clear bottom on that nuke the moon, so everyone can always see how cool it is in there ;)
Lovely builds and great presentation! So inspiring and complete in every detail, wow!

Those are so excellent.
Perfection.
I really like what you did on that trem. Years ago I read about Jesus and Mary Chain putting some Boss PN-2 guts in a wah enclosure for this exact purpose. This is the first time I've seen someone actually do it!
So what specs did you do for this particular Percolator? I threw the "stock" one I did with your board on my test box again this weekend and it is just a killer. The diode lift mode really bears exploring with these specs. I could basically get it to sound like my Albini version! The silicon side gives way more bite than I thought the circuit was capable of--really cool on a neck pickup (although I'd like to try some OA126 in this position). And the 1n273/1n695 combination is a keeper on the GE side.
Have you made a drill template for this, by the way? I'm sure I could work one up but though I would check.
Everything is so clean. I love how these came out.
I just want that NTM!! Your customer is probably mighty pleased, as he should be!! Very cool work, dude, you got my vote (I think....... :o To many good entries!)

I did an Albini Version again. I will have to build up the stock version if I build another. I should have added a drill template to the build doc! I do have a template at home on my PC. PM me your email address and I can forward it on to you this evening.

That's awesome. A build to be proud of for sure.

That wah shell painting is outstanding! You spent quite a good quantity of acid in those builds... The bottomplate finish is one of the most exquisite etching I've seen so far.
