Getting Started Someone asked me about getting started building stompboxes, so I thought I’d put it all in a forum post, for your enjoyment and edification. Become a member of both of these forums. Search, and read what’s posted there. Post your work, and your questions. Lot’s nice knowledgable people. Probably the oldest stompbox forum…
This is a really cool service that manufactures open source PCB designs. You can order any of the open source designs on the site. Most of the stuff is not stompbox oriented. It takes a little google-fu to search up stompbox projects. You can also upload your own designs. You have to order 3 PCB…

I built this some years ago, and lost the ages on my blog so I thought I’d repost them. This was a idea posted by John Hollis, whatever happened to him?
this was built from précis ion guitars kit. I made a few small modifications. The finish is a wipe on wax from wudtone. This looks really good and was very easy to apply, required no special equipment, and, best of all, no toxic fumes! You could apply this stuff in your living room, seriously. It…
A few more olds builds.
I lost a lot of these pictures from my blog. So i thought I would repost them again for fun.
These were some builds I made about 10 ten years ago. These were all built with PCB that mounts the pots and jacks. I etched some design on some of the boxes. There are a few images in there of this process.
