Title: Junkyard Dog Distortion
Post by: LJangel on April 04, 2015, 07:20:24 PM
Just finished this over coffee this morning. This is based on the Bearfoot Dyna Red Distortion.  I added a mid-boost switch that flips between two different cap values in the tone circuit (currently a 100nf and a 470nf).  I wanted to make something that looked "beat up" and this is what I came up with after taking a dremel, files, wire brush and doing a rough cut on the top plate with a jig saw.  Attached the dog tags with paper clips, put screening over the holes and added two red LEDs to light it from the interior when it's turned on.  I think I'll take the knobs off and beat them up a little bit on concrete or something.

This is so tough looking. I really love the way you did the holes and screens. Definitely post another pic if you distress the knobs.
