A Single Looper that's True-Bypass so I can run some non-true bypass pedals without having to rewire them.

I gutted an old Morley A/B and used all three 1/4" jacks plus one DPDT switch. Used a 1/4" jack I got at You-Do-It Electronics. I then sandpapered the box and put on my own design. Looks totally hand-made and kinda like Eddie Van Halen's guitar but black with green stripes.

Hopefully it works, still have to try it out.

thats cool, Ive done a handful of mods on my dyna comp, phase 90, and blue box, I want to do a true bypass from scratch so I can sneak in the shitty digital effects into my signal great for a tuner too! Hats off! I hope it works!

I definitely want to get into the loop pedal game...being a lone gun sometimes makes me lonely

Well it's not a loop pedal like it loops a part, but rather it allows you to create a "loop" of effects that you chain together and can bring in and out together.

Cool project. Did you try it?

Totally works, pretty cool. Simple design, though I think it's rad that I used the Jack Orman DPDT wiring technique that prevents popping. If anyone else is making pedals or installing switches, try this one out and let me know if it affects your tone. The test I did tonight seemed fine and there was no popping unlike some other True Bypass stuff.

Tonight I made a Electro-Harmonix HOG'S FOOT bass boost.

It works and sounds good, but it's the worst soldering job I've ever done.

This is one someone else made.

Mine is without the pot (just volume control, who cares?) and without the switch (this will always be "on").

Almost done with the case. It's tough, I got too small a chassis. Oh well.

I'll post pics once it's through.

Finished the bass boost. Totally learned my lesson about using too small a chassis. It was tough to fit everything, had to cram it and wrap everything with insulator.

Now I gotta find a camera.

next up is a RAT clone for my friend at work. Building it in a $.94 box from home depot.

just finished work modifying my Vester guitar.

-Move the input jack from the bottom corner of the guitar to the pick guard
-Added locking nut so it stays in tune when I use the trem
-Took out all the pickups and the switch, and rewired it for one humbucker at bridge (I like one pickup on bridge damnit)
-Raised the action to the moon

Just tried it, sounds sick.

Stuff looks good. You doing the graphics yourself as well?

I built a clean boost that I got for free from the Build Your Own Clone page. Sounds great in front of a tube amp.

Next is a Fuzzface clone. Then a Tonebender (Jimmy Page fuzz sound) for ma' lady's x-mas gift.

I was suprised at how easy the soldering was, and how much fun building the things are.

Those pics are actually not ones I built, just ones of the same schematics that people built.

Mine look less pro than that!
