wow!
I thought we could have a thread where we could just post DIY builds that amaze us. (sorry guys if such a topic exists already, but I don't think it does) You know, you're having your morning coffee, you're scrolling down the FB news feed, and then bam! something like this flashes before your eyes, and you're like - shiiiiiiiit I gotta share this!

Aaaand demo:
And now I'm going to close myself in the bathroom... to cry of course.
the Sonic Crayon stuff is amazing
its a shame its not more widely available; it means most models are unobtaininium
they are also relatively esoteric, so dropping the $£ on one is a risk if you want something that covers more traditional bases also
Still, beautiful in and out
WOW, that delay is fantastic!
What is that 100+ or whatever pin IC in the middle of the Sonic Crayon board? It says diy delay. Is it?

A PIC32 microcontroller
That looks like an Osh board. How do you solder that? Flux and oven? Tiny minions?

Do yourself a favor and check out all his other works. Also wear a chin guard for all the jaw drops. Goes by cloudscapes on a lot of forums or Sonic Crayon.

With swearing and desoldering braid to clean it up.
I stumbled upon Hexe guitar pedals and this stuff is very impressive.

Oh jeez I want that Sonic Crayon Delay - just for the weirdness.
The SVI stuff is beautifully done, but too much steam punk looks like they've just bolted a lot of useless crap to the thing and called it "art".
Goggles are overdone, too.
I should say that Jules Verne is one of my all time hero authors, though :D
Svi pedals are cool, but I usually like more simple stuff.
Basic Audio and Liquitone have some beautiful finishes/guts:

It takes a bit of practice, but that can all be done by hand. Definitely need a bit of flux and a fine tipped iron, though.

Keep it super DIYed Adan :P no commercial builders please
I agree with Alan on the Svi stuff, that fuzz posted is pretty distasteful to actually. Just IMHO. Then again, I'd vote for such a build for the ideas and effort only!

I agree about the flux, but not about the fine tipped iron. I do all my smt at home with solder paste, 2 JBCs, a 40s and a 20s if I recall correctly. At the lab I use even more flux, some fine solder and a beveled iron tip.

ok, ok :)
I have to say in my defense that both John Lyons and Liquitone post their builds regularly in diystompboxes... and isn't SviSound a commercial builder too? :D

Outside the original post and the Hexe, i've seen the others presented on diystompboxes.

Yeah, you don't necessarily NEED a fine tipped iron, but many people find it difficult to do really fine pitch SMT work with a larger tip as it can hit multiple pins at the same time. If you can do it, you are better than most.
For general SMT work (caps, resistors, SOIC ICs) the tip size is a bit less important.

you got me wrong or I expressed myself badly (probably the second). What I was trying to say is that I find it easier to do what people call "drag" soldering with that kind of ICs, it's even better for beginners as there's less chance to move the IC and bend a leg or lift a pad. Hence the bigger iron tip.
I would also add to the list a soldering braid btw, for those times when you used too much solder.
Fuzz Kaiser has an awesome collection of interesting builds:

His Tongue Bender is a pretty neat creation as well.
