...

actually i have to say that paint job came out distinctly amateur looking... which i suppose puts it way above the kids doodle look that seems popular with some boutique pedal makers

anything by zvex springs to mind. I dont mind the hand painted look at all... it just makes me realise i may be a bit over critical of my own stuff... after all, its just a box you stomp on

Post by: bucketshred on February 08, 2009, 10:05:58 PM: If I could solder, I'd use complete BYOC kits. I'd also make each one to look like a cigarette packet. I know it is bad for you but I like smoking.

However I can't so I'm stuck with stock pedals. :(

:P

Actually sounds awesome, I really need a new JRC chip though as I $%&#ed up one of the legs of the one I have.

Post by: _tom_ on February 10, 2009, 11:46:01 AM: Has anyone tried the graphic EQ? I sort of want to give it a go since I'm way better at soldering now thanks to electronics lessons at uni :)
Title: Re: BYOC Gallery
Post by: Catalyst77 on February 10, 2009, 01:25:12 PM: I tried the eq and hated it.

Its ony BYOC (of which i have 6) that i dont like. When it turned up a lot of parts were wrong or in the wrong quantities and there were mistakes in the instructions (a common complaint for the eq)

It's not an easy build, but i just couldnt get it to sound very good, it certainly was not transparent as claimed when set to 0 accross the piste.

But again i may have made a few mistakes based on the poor instructions/wrong parts.
