Title: Freakin' HOT / JHS Andy Timmons Crunchbox recycling going on
Post by: cooder on August 11, 2018, 10:05:11 AM
Freakin' HOT, flames bursting into high gain, pyrotechnics, spandex, screaming groupies, the lot.
All in a 125B, and there's not that many parts to it either. That's why one of the knobs on the original JHS AT pedal must be called "Air".
Yes it screams sounds good and has a ton of gain in store should one so desire, especially when clipping switch is up.

Anyway, a bit of MI Audio Crunchbox repackaged and remarketed going on here. If only recycling would always work that well in the real world.
Maybe JHS should consider going into recycling.  Officially I mean. It has future.

I've built a number of Crunchboxes now, but I'm looking forward to trying out the @T I have on the desk waiting to be tested.  Looks great.

Damn those acrylic plates look regal.  My only signature is fingerprints in the clearcoat :-)

REALLY nice job on this whole series you've been cranking out.  Where do you get the cool hex head screws?

Cheers! Yes I do like the acrylic face plate stuff. It's really not more work than rattlecan or envirotex (which I haven't tried yet as it's not easily available here and I don't like the idea of the mess) or so. And since I got this pile of offcuts in various sizes and thicknesses at an auction for 5 bucks it'll last me for a loooooong time.
The hex screws are even stainless ones, nice. I use them a lot on amp builds too for tube sockets etc.

I enjoy looking at your builds, and luckily you make a new one every other day!  Impressive.

Was wondering, what holds the relay board in place?  Seems like its always in the same place. Is it the LED?

Cheers, glad you enjoy them! Yes good guessing there the relay boards are held by the LED which is glued to enclosure as well as usually a little dap of epoxy on the side of relay pcb securing ot to enclosure. Holds in my experience well enough and is at the same time not too bastardly hard to get out if need. I justy break the epoxy of the side of enclosure and desolder LED wires. Not that I had to do it often.
Next build coming soon...  ;)
