Some shots of the tremopanation (a copy of the Lovetone Wobulator.)
Once I finish this I'll have all of the Lovetone pedals cloned. Still needs some work and fettling.

The high impedance volume pedal works well with the Rissole (Lovetone Meatball clone, envelope filter.) Plugged into the Intensity jack, it makes a fairly decent poor man's Wahwah. (It could be a rich man's wahwah, I'm not good with wahs.)

Have some distorted overdrive.
Grease Gun, a Mad Bean original AFAIK through Function FX. (Picked the board up on the F(fx) fundraiser.) Nice sound to it.
Run Off Groove Professor Tweed, from TH Customs in Germany. Pretty decent.

It's been a productive day. I meant to do this over the long weekend, but couldn't drill the boxes at that point.
Avalanche, based on some boo-teek Tubescreamer variant. I forget which. First tubescreamer I've made (on purpose, that I know of.)
Headphone amplifier, using the Stereo Sim Headphone board from TH Customs. The switch lets you flick between mono (only left ear) or stereo (left and right), using some clever filtering stuff to get it sounding natural (and not just copy+paste from one side to the other.)

Ordered some enclosures from Kev77, and I'm just blown away. These look bloody amazing! (Tayda 1590A in front is for comparison.)
I don't know what make or model these are, but they look sturdy as hell.

Lovetone Wobulator (stereo tremolo), boxed!
(Mostly) Complete!
Just need to add the transformers (they ship on 10/2/14) and replace the LDR's -- the depth isn't getting enough sweep. But you get some, and the rest is what the stomp is for
Oh, and...
CLONE
ALL THE LOVETONES!

Who wants some SMD love?
Fairfield Barbershop, laid out by Muddyfox on MBP for smd mount (well, except for the pots and wires.)

I only got the board because I ordered the Grind Customs FX Tshirt from Rej, and I hate paying shipping for one thing only.
Glad I did, this is a very nice fuzz, and more flexible than you'd think. The clipping... I decided to wander from stock, and consulted Rej, who suggested the Ge/LED/Si switch. Lots of options with this, and if you use the guitar volume knob, you've got quite a bit of control over the amount of fuzz. The 2n3904 seems to work well in fuzzes.
This is a fun hobby.

Amp switch I built up for Eruera. Two effects switches for das amp, and a Soundman Eliminator for the effects loop (I think.)
Seems to work good

I've probably asked you this before, but have you built an amp before, or have any plans to build one?

Wow - that's cool, great effort! you've pretty much got the whole amp and effects thing sorted .... by making it all yourself! That's something to be really proud of!

Got around to drilling up the box today.
Rest of the mechanical parts should arrive on tuesday. The pots that don't have wire links soldered will get ribbon wire or something.
Ultrastoner Muff -> De Profundis delay -> Maestro phaser (5/6 stages) -> Tenebrion reverb. The tone trimmer on the delay is getting taken out to a front panel control (controls how dark the repeats are, helps with noise on long delay times.)
Should be good once it's going. Should be a bugger to wire up.

Just noticed all the damn fx are backwards ordered.
I'll claim it's left hand or something. Dammit.
