I go by many names...

I love the Boosh. So when I decided to make a multi-fx pedal I didn't need to go on a quest to figure out what #1 * would be called:

The big lump is the Visual Sound H2O chorus pcb I bought a while back. It was so big I could only fit it in this enclosure -- or the Boss ME50 enclosure I'm toying with... but that didn't occur to me, if I'm honest. With so much space left over and not being able to mount it in the middle of the enclosure (unless I mounted it sideways - which also didn't occur to me ... spotting a trend?)

So left to right that's a @fuzzdog Klon Buffer, @fuzzdog Candyman (White) @fuzzdog Lovely Squeezer and @MattFGBI 's H2O - lovingly and exasperatedly bodged back into working order.

I sought and got the advice of @marauder and @juansolo re the enclosure and I hope it's rather clear from the outside work who inspired me

  

Rudi used a wah so it doesn't fully cover it, if anything it sounds more like John Scofield on the album Flat Out  

Fear my fusion licks!!!

* #2 is the Boss ME50 upcycled to be a Jen Wah, Germanium Fuzz, Ross Compressor, Delay and a phase 90 with mods to be a univibe, "chorus", tremolo and phaser  - it shall be have this picture of  Saboo  and be called (as if there was any other name) Crunch Time.

Awesome looking pedal.

Also I think you may have tagged the wrong Fuzzdog in your post.

Thanks, I'll take a listen when I get home tonight

Looks great!

That's spectacular I really must have a go at a multi pedal. How did you finish the enclosure? Any noise when it's powered up?

randomhandclaps

You deserve a wow just for not fracturing any fingers whilst drilling the enclosure.

frankus

@randomhandclaps - I dunno what you mean, I've a pillar drill (I bought for the princely sum of £30 from Norfolk many moons ago).

Before I drilled this one I'd practiced on a shoe box with cardboard inserts and a plastic box - I still got it a bit wrong and needed to adapt.

 

@Adam_MD it's pretty quiet, I used some white inkject transfer and lots of plastikote... it's not great and I hope the next one is an improvement. The real knack would be to learn all my mistakes and still have enthusiasm for a few more projects  

randomhandclaps

That was £30 truly well spent.  When drilling freehand diecast can suddenly snag and be pretty lethal to surrounding fingers.

frankus

oh yes, I used to have many enclosures with weird shaped holes ... triangles mostly.

it was £30 and a 5 hour round trip - but most worth it.

Although, thinking about it I had to buy a new key and it took an age to find.
