Ditto. I think I already have all the parts. However if custom enclosures were made I'd be interested in one of those as well.

.... well we might could spruce this up a bit if theres real interest ....

could pilfer some BearFoot stock to keep the price down --- finished boxes/stomps and pots/mechanicals are the big expense ....

maybe if there is interest in a full kit and you guys want to get the boards made and kit up the population parts - I could do a special paint job and maybe even have it lettered like BearFoot stuff in 'Evafont' ....

problem becomes if they are not made correctly and then resold it just looks like a bad bearfoot pedal ....

Well talk it out and see what the interest level is, Ill help if I can.....

...hmmm lets see....
ITs a Booster and a Buffer, could call it a 'Buster'
and in BJFe style we'd need a qualifying color ~ Red is good for a booster ~ Cherry

How about the Cherry Buster ?

Could make it a three knob deluxe version with variable pre/post ohmage levels to match both ways..

Vari Cherry Buster ? could use a Red Flip Flop paint ?

Never thought of that... But I hope it works out.

Agreed on the possibility of "abuse" when using the Bearfoot sig look. It could definitely lead to confusion and you'd probably want to label the enclosures very clearly using something like "BJFe.org DIY", though that still doesn't guarantee someone won't try to pass it off as otherwise.

Bjorn suggested that maybe you could do some finished enclosures, though I didn't want to bother you with that since y'all have Bearfoot running now. If you're up for it, that'd be awesome though.

Redesigned. :thumbup: Sent in for some protos for both the single and 3 knob versions.

...there you go ! this should be a good one for people to lose their DIY virginity on :mrgreen:

I have three hole boxes I can use for the deluxe version ----- we havent done the 1 holers yet --- we will be doing RRB and BPB etc... at the end of summer. And we have talked of doing a BearFoot version of this three knob buffer/booster ........ so this can be a different sort of DIY research project for those that are so inclined........

Ive set aside a week in mid june to do nothing but painting projects ~ customshop and other wise .... so if you can give me a head count on how many boxes to make by about June 10 this can happen. :thumbup:
