Hey y'all,
I started building guitars about a year ago and a lot of pedal stuff sat at the back of the workbench for a while. I had a few unpopulated boards, a few spare enclosures, and a bunch of leftover parts from previous orders. In an attempt to clean stuff out, I was like, "Well, I shouldn't let this stuff go to waste!" This weekend, I finished two new builds and a re-build.
From left to right, it's the Stutr tremolo, the Woodstork fuzz, and the Glam chorus. I built the Stutr and the Glam over the weekend. Both are cool and I dig the sounds within. (Sidenote: The Glam reminds me a little of the modulation feature in the Multiplex Jr. delay, which I love. I assume it's because they both use the PT2399 that there's some sonic similarity?)
I built the Woodstork back in 2016, but fried it six months ago when I forgot my 1-spot and borrowed my bandmate's multi-voltage wall adapter. After realizing that there were too many parts I'd have to replace, I just bought a new board and started over (reusing the same enclosure and the Ge transistors). Once I had it working, I was like, "WHY DIDN'T I FIX THIS EARLIER?!?" I absolutely love how that fuzz sounds in my rig.
The art on the enclosures isn't anything exceptional. Overall, this weekend I was reminded of how much I enjoy building pedals. I still have a few boards left, and I hope to get those finished hopefully by the end of the year.

Cool, nice work! Welcome back.
Are you using ink stamps for that finish?

That is my question too. Ink stamps? Or stencils? If they are stamps, which ones are they? (i.e. can you post a link? I am looking to buy stamps and I like that font)
Nice builds all around!
What better way to clean the bench than to pump out that goodness! Noice!

I used these cheapo letter stamps ($7) and StazOn permanent ink ($10). I can't find a link to the exact type of letters, but you can find all sorts of alphabet letter stamps on Amazon for around $10.
