Title: The Djentlemen and One More for the Sea
Post by: JoeDorcia on March 31, 2015, 08:30:51 PM
The Djentlemen - Wrecktifier PCB from Fuzz Dog
LOVE IT! Although seriously heavy and full on metal but very tonal and has tonnes of range. I even like the infamous boost. Sure its disgusting and odd, but does make for some unique sounds that nothing else makes. Anyone know if it would be possible to add an exp pedal out to control the boost pot? Artwork is a random image from google turned into a vector and neatened up, clear adhesive paper, EnviroTex, done. Lots of wiring but a relatively quick build none-the-less. Oh, and I accidentally put a LED in the wrong way round then destroyed the pad on removal, hence the random jumper on the back of the board.

One More for the Sea - Hamlet+ PCB from JMK
WHAT A DELAY! This is my first delay build and first tap tempo to boot. Big props to Jacob the design and layout, really can't say enough good stuff about it. Sadly, my artwork just didn't work in this case, the blue 1590BB was darker than I expected, I got a slightly better pic but not much. May well re-house or just build another when it takes my fancy. Also, didn't take into account the type of DPDT switch used so excuse the bent (although unused) lugs.

Great work on both effects. I really like the red of the enclosure with the creme knobs.

I like the dark graphics on dark blue enclosure. On first glance it looks solid color but then you realize it has cool graphics. Very mysterious.  ;D

Glad you like the boost, it's not something I'd choose to add an expression pedal to but should be straightforward to do.  Just send the pcb connections to a switched TRS jack socket and the return lugs to the pot.  You'll have to use a stereo jack to the expression pedal and hack it with an appropriate value pot.

Ooo thanks, I wondered if it would be that simple. Might have to get hacking...
