I've got an old Boss DE-200 which has been considerably ignored for the last 10+ years. Amazingly it still works... Well kinda, the pots are crackly and it can be a bit hit and miss with some of the switches but it's defiantly usable. The question is, do I go ahead and try fixing her up or do I dive in with my desolderer and grab all the awesome little bits she's got hidden away in there?

Here is my latest build (3 and counting), the name comes from a French mate of mine who overheard some woman talking about how she'd had an epiphany to which he turned round and asked (in his heavy french accent) "excuse me, did you just say you have an epic fanny?". I don't think she was too pleased... Anyway, he told me this about the same day as I'd just ordered this kit (it's a green russian btw) and the rest is history. For the American among you (I'm guessing that's most of you), "fanny" in the UK does NOT mean your butt.



No water slide or anything fancy here, I just ripped off ehx graphics (please don't sue me  ) and got them printed on to some fancy sticker paper, I was skeptical but IMO it turned out pretty nice.



I spent an eternity trying to get the wire length down I've lost count of how many times she's been in and out of her box.

Hello, I'm brand new around here and I just thought I'd share my first build I did a couple of weeks back with you geniuses. I'm guessing most of you don't need to be told but it is a very simple Bazz Fuzz built from a kit... I call her Dave.

I know I went overboard with the sockets but this was my first (I'm on to my 4th now) and I was being needlessly overcautious about frying things (even the caps!?!), I'm also cringing at the length of some of those wires but hey we live and learn right!? The soldering is a bit meh and I was having real trouble getting the wires on the jacks but this was my first time ever with a soldering iron on a pcb and I was pretty pleased with the results.

I let my daughter loose on it for the "graphics" which was painful at first but now I'm actually digging it.

I've got to say that the moment that led came on was just one of the best feelings, this pedal building thing is awesome!
