Title: My First Non-Kit Build: The Mangler
Post by: mshuptar on August 07, 2012, 06:52:19 PM

Aside from some grounding issues that took a while to solve (pots shorting out against the board, or against the side of the enclosure and being totally baffled), this was really fun.

Since the Mangler is a copy of a Fuzz Face, I decided the enclosure should pay a little homage. Special shoutout to "Mgwhit" who responded to, like 99% of my questions when I was troubleshooting. Thanks!

Love the foot-grip-stuff. Whatever it's called, it's an iconic look -- you just know that's a Fuzz Face. Nice job!

Yes cool look with the grippy tape stuff in the triangle. Nice first build.

This is one of those "Wish I'd thought of that!" moments. Really clever design 8)
