Even though I'm like, VP or something at my job, this is what I truly love to do. But I only spend a few hours a week building stuff, generally I deal with people, numbers, programs, and other Typical Business Poop.

What I'm really trying to say is: I love the smell of solder fumes in the morning. :kickass:
 
Why that's the Nordstrand 2B-MM, an accurate reproduction of the original Music Man Stingray preamp. [/huckster]

I want to start building pedals soon, but I still haven't gotten around to it. I don't really know terribly much about circuit design, but I can sure slap things together. I should just take apart a few pedals I own, change three resistors, and call it the NADFUZZ.
 
Oh yeah is that a Brassmaster type thang? I ask cuz I see that wee transformer in there.

I looooooooooooove Brassmasters. Best fuzz ever, I have several versions although no originals because those are ridiculously expensive.
 
The transformer gives an octave up effect. Removing one of the diodes leading out from it takes the octave away and cleans up the signal a bit as well. Gonna see about adding a power starve pot, just for kicks. And oscillation, if I can find/build a decent inductor.
 
Made him try on his pimp suit this evening.

Only difference will be that the hat he's wearing tomorrow is actually ivory. And he'll be shaven haha.

Not many pictures available for viewing yet, but a coworker of mine took these and posted them on Facebook already. It was pretty much perfect except for being sick still.
