Title: Fuzzface
Post by: Coda-effects on January 27, 2015, 05:16:51 PM
Hello !
This is my first post here, I am from France, and I am really glad to join the madbean community !
As a first offering, this is my build report for a analogman sunface.
Quite a easy job (except for soldering the transistors which are really fragile... sockets next time !), but really gound sounding device here ! I had some fun in collecting old components to match the vintageness of the transistors.

For the enclosure, I tried reverse etching according to Cody's tutorial (http://music.codydeschenes.com/?page_id=2035) I think it came out great ! Long process, but totally worth it !

Thank, and I am in for any suggestions / advices to improve !
Sorry for the bad english also

Great work!

As much as I don't believe in mojo, old parts just look so cool. :)

Very nice build! The etch looks great. I agree that sockets are a good idea and not very expensive.

You don't need to apologise for your English, it's very good (and I am English, so I should know). Far better than my French and I live quite close to France, so there is no excuse for me!

Glad you made it over to the Madbean Forums. Great job on the layout and the etch. Both came out great.

Looks great in all its mojo, old-school glory! I really like that dog graphic. Good job on the enclosure.

That's how I feel as well.  That looks great.

I have the same opinion about "mojo" components and vintage stuff... But just look at this mullard cap, it is so cute !   :D

Nice build! Are the components NOS or salvaged?

Most of the components (all except transistors) are salvaged from old stuffs I have, like broken old radios for instance...

Beautiful job! I agree about the old parts. They look so good. And I appreciate how nicely mounted they are. Beautiful etch too. Welcome!

Cool! I've got a pile of some old caps, resistors and a few trannies I've been meaning to do something with.
