Had quite a busy month...A couple of these are things I've built before, (Britannia,Party Mammoth and Machete) but they're cool so I'm posting the Mk II builds.

Britannia AC 30 emulator paired with with a Stratoblaster Booster...






Party Mammoth II
Wooly Mammoth & Pseudo Ring Modulator with an optical control.





Rakali
A Rat with variable Ruetz, Whiteface/turbo/you dirty  clipping modes and a clean blend.





Dream Weapon III
A dual optical tremolo and Vox Repeat Percussion.
Rej/CJs Electric Boogaloo and a modernised Repeat Percussion with an extra stomp to switch between two rate controls. The VRP and Dream Weapon is all thanks to forum member KayCee who has built all this several times before. Thanks for referring this client to me mate!

Killer first post!

Superb build!

Nice! -certainly better than my first etch, and I think a bit of grunginess is cool too.
FWIW I generally mask as much as possible with tape, etch, wash and paint then remove the tape.

I like that graphic! 

Had no idea jazz players went near a Rat. Will have to investigate.

Many of them. I think it's because it works well with a neck humbucker. A couple other notable jazz users are Kurt Rosenwinkel and Ben Monder.

Holy Cow! - just saw this badass beyond belief!

That's an Eruption of Unchained awesomeness. You Really Got Me!
Right Now, I'm sure Everybody Wants Some.  You really Finish(ed) what You Started, somebody Get Me a Doctor because I'm Dancing in the Street , and it's a Mean Street, and, Right Now,  I Don't Wanna Hear About it Latter,  ICan't Stop Loving You....Happy Trails.

Thanks gents!

Wait, those are all MP38A's?

Indeed. Q1-3 have hfes of 80, 120 and 100- ish respectivly.

Russian NPNs.







A really rough demo. Mics were clipping and out of phase... 

...of Harmonic Percolators.



I'm really blown away by this circuit. I'd put off building it for a long time because of it's "vagaries," but it's  really unique, has a squishy Ge feel, but a clarity with chords that I've never come across in a fuzz before.



Used Russian PNP Ge (about 70hfe) and a BC109 for the NPN. I have some 2N3565 (as per the original) but found them too noisy.



Scored some beautiful glass NOS 1N695 diodes, (again, as per the original) they have a really low forward voltage- under 200.
I can part with some- $1 usd a pair + $2 for postage worldwide, if any of you diode junkies want to try some shoot me a message.

Nice first etch man.
You'll find the timing varies in proportion to the area being etched. A large area creates a bigger reaction, which heats the etchant, creating a faster reaction.
It's pretty much all artistry and experience- with only a hint of the repeatability of science.

Nuthin' but love for this.

Nice build!
I have a one knob magnavibe too, love it, great circuit.

Absolutely the best thing I've seen in a long time! Made my day.

Losing that "L" always puzzled me, I just figured, in the US, it was silent - as in "pee" in swimming.
