After accidentally hi-jacking another thread with discussion of my pedals I have been making, I thought it would be more appropriate to make another thread. Here are the 5 pedals I submitted to the BYOC 3rd Annual Pedal Pagaeant, if they move onto the next round, you will be able to vote for which pedal you like best at another site (I'll have details if I move on, cause I would love the support).
Prism Fuzz, Big Muff Triangle-era clone (I hope all the Pink Floyd fans on this site love this one.)
The Scream, TS-808 Clone (Can I get sued from the estate of whoeever made The Scream?)
Envelope Filter, a clone based on a DOD 440 (I didn't plan on the LED and the design meeting up like it does, I just lucked out.)
Swellness Center, a clone of the SG-1 Slow Gear (The hype has to be from the scarcity, cause to me it sounds sort of like an NF-1 and a tremolo pedal...can any SG-1 owners verify this???)
Deep Sea Chorus, a clone based on the Small Clone
I have a few more, but they have not been photographed with my new digital camera yet, but I will post more soon....
Let me know what you think as this is the first time I have shown my pedals to a large audience, so to speak...
...And in case you were wondering, my first name is Tee, thats where Tee-Lectronics comes from... |

They look damn cool jack, nice work Which other pedals do you make, I may be interested in buying one off you?
And as for Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' I doubt you could be sued for that, the real thing is in colour for starters. |

amazing work, jack.. how did you paint those so well? what kind of paint did you use? painting guitars is more of my thing,
only ones i made are the TT-2 Tap Tempo from an old BF-2 and the Whacky Paki. |

It looks like screen printing I reckon, he did a good job nontheless. Stratosphere the TT-2 will be a boutique sensation before you know it |

Here's an explanation of my technique that I got into on another thread before realizing I had hijacked it majorly, so I made this new topic...

Nice job ...
what did you use to print-make the front panel artwork.
Is it on laminated paper or on aluminium foil?
Any sound samples, anywhere on the web?
Regards Dr. Bob

Thanks Dr. Bob.
The image was altered, corrupted, and manipulated on MS Paint. Basically trial and error, because I cannot remember exactly how I got the results I did, cause I was actually trying to do something else initially, stumbled upon this result, and went with it. But at least I saved the finished result so I can print more....
I printed with an inkjet to Dark T-Shirt Iron-On Transfer Paper, then follow the directions included with the transfer paper, but using an enclosure instead of a t-shirt. 4-6 light coats of Duplicolor Truck & SUV clear coat, then 2 heavy-ass "it looks like there is water sitting on top of the enclosure" coats.
Then allow to dry/bake/cure in a large carboard box (TV boxes work well) with the flaps closed (but a couple of side vents, or if you're lucky, it will have handle holes cut out already) and 1-2 lamps with 60watt bulbs in the box with the enclosures (depending on the amount of enclosures you paint at one time [the easiest thing to to is paint in the box]). Leave it alone for 2-4 hours, the longer the better...
This is the finishing process I have used for all my builds (12 completed, 2 in-medias-res), and the painting process I have used for all but my first 2 builds, as I have been pleased with the results and glad to hear some positive feedback. I'll post a few more pics in a separate thread later this weekend. I should really get to sleep...but I need to mention, I don't have any sound samples, but I think know of a link to some from some people on the BYOC forum...I'll get back to you...

You're up against some stiff competition.

I submitted 5 pedals, and they had a total of 80 submissions which they cut down to 30. I was just happy to see my pedals pictures in the photo collage with the initial 80 pedals. I was very stoked to get one pedal in the next 30, but there is some very stiff competition now, so while I hope my pedal moves further, I realize more than likely it won't. (I'm not sure if there is another cut or if voting has started to pick a winner yet.) But considering I just started making these things in October of 2006, to me making it past the first set of cuts was a victory and cause for celebration and excitment last night.   |
