Title: Build Report: DustBunny in unnecessarily large enclosure
Post by: NF Audio on June 17, 2020, 09:31:58 PM
Hi everyone!

Been a long time since I built a guitar pedal but I had a fuzzy itch I had to scratch. Just finished up on this DustBunny. Really enjoyed it and happy with how it sounds! I just used all BC108's. I had grand plans of doing a full shootout of transistor combos but it sounds good and the lid is on so I don't imagine myself ever getting around to that!

Brutal.  Nice job!  Stuffing into 1590A's is highly over rated :-)

Video nails it.

Nice, just finishing one off myself.
What transistors did you use?

Very cool! I'll echo Gordo, 1590a is more trouble than it's worth in my opinion. I love the way you did the faceplate.

Nice video, I suspect that is a cool tele custom hiding behind the pedal there.

Faceplate and the knobs are killer! I do enjoy the challenge of 1590a builds, but huge enclosures are also tons of fun. Nice work!

Thank you kind sir. Well spotted. Would you believe that it is a Tele Custom that I went to huge lengths to have a new pickguard made for (I'm left handed) in tortoiseshell, with a single-coil cutout where the humbucker used to be...
