BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

I know everyone has their plates quite full but it would at least be nice to get a discussion going again.. Anyone interested and if so what floats your boat?

I still have not finished my cherry booster! Pedal making is tricky, but it turns out I do have a talent for winding pickups and building guitars!

A bit tricky maybe but if you can solder in pickups etc you'll be fine Is that one of your builds in your avatar? Gorgeous flame!

Built the Folk Fuzz but missed the buffer and the booster...

Maybe an overdrive or a distortion this time?

Have been building lots of fuzzes of my own design (have incorporated some nice ideas from Björn as well ) lately, but I'm in for a new DIY-project!

Hi

It would be fun to have the Folk fuzz and Cherry Buster rerun.


That you Professor polifemo, Indeed I do have your fuzz that you made specially for me and it's mainstay in my arsenal.

I like ideas that aren't the typical but that may look at solutions from unusual angles


More DIY I would applaud and I can think of some circuits that might be fun but I think I may then need help with pcb's and kits and I know it is most fun to build a complete pedal.

Let's see if we can get some more seasoned guys like John Frommel and others to help out

Have great fun
BJ

Count me in!

How about a FFF... 'Folky Fuzz Faze'?

Kind of like a folk fuzz and a folk phase blended in a melting pot... hmm.. anyone remember the Roland AP7?

Deluxe of course

Bumpity Anyone??

An octavia might be fun

VCF?

Would love to make an auto-wah pedal DIY. The DIY meatball (meatsphere) is on my short list once I have time to build again.

Been ages since I've posted and I'd have to dig but I may still have Cherry Buster boards around (5 or 6 if I recall). I also have the circuit schematic and parts list...

I don't plan to source anymore part kits though but PM if you need a board (and will actually use it). I may be slow responding but I'll try to check in periodically over the next few days.

Glad to see more DIY here-- I'd definitely like to be a part of any future efforts.

Cool.. The cherry buster was my first build and was a raging success in terms of both my learning curve and being a really killer pedal! Highly recommended!

The more I think of it, a VCF autowah makes a lot of sense.. Anyone else?
