they look like waterslides - you can just about make out the outlines

I looked further into it, and it can be done by water transfer via a laserprinter

Which means - I'm gonna get me one! :D

According to the sticky on the BYOC forum decal paper can ruin printers as it can get really hot and stick to something inside. Thats put me off doing it especially on mums expensive laser :lol: I'm gonna do what someone else on BYOC did and just use self adhesive photo paper. Wont look as good as decals but it'll be much easier and safer.

Video time!

Just go through the clipping modes, same volume and filter settings, can do more in depth stuff if wanted.

Oh and this was recorded on my Macbook camera/mic, sounds good! Actually sounds close to how it sounds in the room.

Excuse the sloppyness- I'm usually pretty sloppy but this was recorded first thing this morning- i'm off camera in pyjamas...

Love the Turbo

Do they all come with a Mighty Mouse?

badgermark · « **Reply #51 on:** May 11, 2008, 04:05:18 PM »

The new one has a rotary switch with the 6 clipping modes. Have to say the turbo is my least favourite. The asymmetrical dist. and mosfet od is my faves i think.

Sounds pretty good Mark, I like the sound of the TT clean as well.. gas :P

Should be getting my new iron soon so hopefully can get mine finished and working in the next week or so :)

I did indeed use water decals. I haven't got a laser printer so I used a colour inkjet. It worked well, the only difference between the laser and inkjet is that inkjet in is water soluble. All that means is that I had to spray the printed sheet with a coat of the clear laquer to secure the ink before soaking and applying.

Thanks for that. I think I like the symmetrical OD the best. That LED is bright!!!!

Bit of an update on my situation with the overdrive. I just reflowed all the joints, and wired it up much neater. My soldering has improved a lot. However when I switch it on, the sound is still really thin and quiet, you have to turn the amp up loads to even be able to hear it. What typically causes that? The bypass works fine, not intermittent or anything any more.

prob something wrong with signal path..or ya killed a resistor etc..post on BYOC forum..there very helpfull

_tom_ · « **Reply #57 on:** May 24, 2008, 10:43:27 PM »

Yep allready have done, just trying to get as much help as possible! Its annoying because the sound is there but just really quiet :(

sgmypod · « **Reply #58 on:** May 24, 2008, 10:45:19 PM »

you checked everything in right place and certain bits right way around

_tom_ · « **Reply #59 on:** May 24, 2008, 10:49:44 PM »

Yep I'm sure I quadruple checked everything as I put it in. My sort of educated guess is that a transistors gone? Afterall isnt the job of a transistor to amplify the signal?
