Dub-T-123 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I thought it would be cool to have a thread for the DIY'ers here to post some of their guitar related DIY projects. I've been slaving over a hot soldering iron this past week or so. I finished building a pedal for Jeff-7 (which I won't post), built a slightly modded Fulltone OCD clone, a Zvex Woolly Mammoth clone, and a Big Muff based mainly on the "Civil War" Muff, with a few cap values of the green Russian Muff thrown in and a mids control (waiting on a couple parts to finish the Muff). I'll post pics soon. Just wanted to post this thread before I forgot about the idea haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Does this count? I cosmetically changed a VT30 into something I could look at. I just didn't like the metal grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That counts, anything you do to any type of gear that "permanent" and you did your self is DIY. Nice job btw, me likey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Some guts n graphics.. (psst notice the sweet looking Russian germaniums between the boxes) sorry for the terrible lighting and picture quality. It's dark and my iPhone camera sucks. The guts right there are that OCD clone. It sounds really awesome. It has kindof a slightly "chewy" sound that I dig. I'm going to wire it to be switchable between standard clipping and LED clipping but as it is here it's basically a standard OCD with a different pot value for the gain control. The gain control has a bit less gain on tap but a bit better control over what gain is there. It has more than enough gain for what I want it to do.

Searcy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Here's is the first bass I ever built. It's really what started my pickup winding busness. Everyone hated the bass but wanted the pcikups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 This is an Electro Harmonix Russian BassBalls envolope filter I modded to allow the sweep of the dual filters to be adjusted which takes this pedal from crap to amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 When I bought this it was a 97 Les Paul Studio with an EMG Zakk Wylde pickup set in it and all black hardware. I yanked the pickups and put them up on Ebay. Installed gold Gibson Dexule tuners, gold humbucker rings and a gold adjustable BadAss bridge. For guts I installed a set of my Obsession Bolero humbuckers and wired them up to their own volume pots skipping the tone pots that I never use.
