Could someone photoshop away the black blackground and change the font to black on total sonic anninilation, would be much appreciated

Can't wait for a demo on this... I might be wanting one of these.

Apologies! I made your fuzz board last night. It sounds fucking ace.
Case all painted and clearcoated now too. Will build this Friday.

Thanks Reece, I'll get that on Noirie's case, probably using the old label method rather than a decal.

And Dan, you need a resistor to limit the current so your LED doesn't blow up.

2.2K or 4.7K usually works. And you need to wire it like this:

+9V -> anode of LED
Cathode of LED -> resistor -> GND.

Or you can put the resistor between +9V and the LED. That was a bit of a wrong drawing you did. Spend some time reading this page and get your knowledge up:

ARGHH I tried making THIS without the L.E.D , using THIS to help. And IT DOESNT WORK.

NOOOO

The guitar sound is coming through fine when the footswitch is off. But when i turn it on i cant hear the guitar, just get a loud BUZZ which sounds bad for the amp and the ears.

Did you connect all the grounds for all the jacks together? Also you should make a new thread for this in Effects/Amps.

Fucking.

Awesome.

Tim's design. I just applied the bastard. I am beaming happy with it though. Can't wait until it's bristling with toggles, leds and that

No worries. I will need six more pedals, though. And thanks, Doog.

Mike, I'll get on it - it's just been bedlam with a combination of chickenpox at home and putting up final shows at work.

There's no real rush to be honest mate, I understand it's been busy at home recently. If we could get one of them next week sometime that would be ace though.

Think they're all ready to go, apart from the muff, which exists at the moment only in spiffy form.

Post by **Mike** » Thu May 14, 2009 7:39 pm

OOh Funky. Send me a couple of them and I'll print and size everything up

that looks sweet tim/mike.
can't remember if it's been mentioned or posted, but what is that pic from?

i keep having an image in my head of a pedal with some artwork from fritz lang's metropolis.

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:18 pm

It's a photo of Aleister Crowley - weirdy fella, good for a weirdy photo. There's a clever poster called Uma Floresta on various other forums who, I think, has various Fritz Lang pedals. Coincidentally, he's also the chap who posted the schematic for the fuzz.

have saltbooster.
verdict: yesyesyes.

it loves my pedals, especially the great destroyer. everyone who says it doubles the sounds they can get is spot on. on it goes and on it stays. it's everything i wanted from a boost.
think a saltbooster vs LPB-1 video would be of any use? you can definately hear the differences

now, onto the important bit:

awesome photos. love the banner.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 15, 2009 3:42 pm

*yay*

You made it look super purty. I'm really glad you like it, and I reckon an A/B video would be wicked.
