Not technically a stompbox: a Ge diode/transformer ring modulator and BBD multi-effect (flange, chorus, echo, lofi-mangling thing) in one box. And no I'm not building another, it was a one-off for a friend, and it ate up too much time and brain.

Superb job mate! Boffo, a good one!
What are you using for labelling? |

Cheers chaps! It was quite a job. I had to really cram things together inside, and that's resulted in a bit more bleedthrough of the ring-mod's own oscillator that I've had on the separate ring mods I've made. It's not a problem when you use an external signal for the modulator, though. The BBD side goes from around a 1ms delay to 250ms. I'm just using a 1024-stage (3007) so the longer delays are distorted and expereince clock noise - but that was the idea with this unit. Feedback goes from zero (ie, one repeat) to ever-increasing screeching. The Mix control allows the dry signal to be removed, which means you can get it to do a passable vibrato too.
I ran the old Roland U-110's cheesy jazz demo through the BBD side only by way of testing - here's the result. Gets a bit mad in the 2nd half:

Just one of those cheap Brother hand-held label printers, on transparent tape. It's not perfect but it does the job. |

Ok, this thread hasn't seen much action for a while, so I'm reviving it: I've had a hankering for a Fuzzface for a while now, but don't have the space on my pedalboard for one those circular behemoths. I decided to design a tiny layout, with an internal fuzz level trimpot, and stick it in a Hammond 1590A. Here it is, between the LPB-1 and a plain aluminium homebrew overdrive, squashed in below the Pigtronix EP-1:
And here's the veroboard layout should anyone want to try it themselves (100% verified and working): You might need to extend the board a couple of holes to fit the trimmer, depending on what type you have.

Another:
Loosely based on an EHX violet ram's head version big muff. I removed the tonesatck and Q4, and drew out a small perfboard layout. Point-to-point wiring... never again. |

So far, I've built three Eternity clones. I started off planning to build one for myself, but when a buddy from work heard about it, he was all, "Dude, you gotta build me one, too!". So, mine's the yellow one (in honor of my old modded-to-death SD-1) and his is green. PC boards are by MadBean Pedals, most other parts from SMall Bear.
About that time, my wife got me involved in a charity auction for our kids' school, so as long as I was geared up, I built a third (blue) one, and we auctioned it. It ended up in St. Louis with a guy I know from the Seymour Duncan forum - he recently bumped the Box of Rock off his board, but kept the e-clone.
I just finished this doo-dad for another buddy. It's a remote-controlled A/B switcher, which lets him select the clean or drive channels on his Bad Cat Hot Cat, using the control output from his GT-10. The Hot Cat doesn't have channel switching; you just select an input and plug in. This lets him included channel selection as part of a GT-10 patch.
Projects I have on the bench:
A clone of a small box Rat, complete with LM308 - it will look a lot like my Eternity, but red with "rat" and "cheese" icons for distortion and tone.
A clone of an MI Crunchbox. Normally, I'd buy a Crunchbox - they're not really expensive, and they build it better than I ever could. However, this is going to be a special Crunchbox - it's going to be in an oversized enclosure, painted pink paisley to match a friend's MIJ RI Telecaster.

And one more. A "crash sync" box, as described here:

I like the little pcb for the switch - Got any other tips for keeping the off-board wiring tidy?
Rich_S - Great looking builds! |
