Custom Big Muff Build.

[DrNomis_44]

Hey Everyone,

I'm currently working on a custom Big Muff pedal build, using a phenolic Big Muff PCB I ordered online from PigeonFX which is based in the UK.

I've already got the PCB all populated with parts; I'm in the process of making a case for it out of some sheet aluminium I bought from my local Jaycar Electronics shop.

Here's a pic of the completed Big Muff PCB.

Here's a pic of the two pieces of sheet aluminium I cut for the two halves of the case I'm making for my custom Big Muff build, left is the bottom half, and right is the top half, I need to mark-out and drill holes for the in/out sockets, footswitch, and the three pots, luckily enough I have enough sheet aluminium left over to make a clip to hold the 9V battery in position, and I also need to figure-out how I'm going to make the 90 degree bends where they're needed.



Good thing I remembered all the metalworking stuff I learnt while doing my tech for my apprenticeship with my dad as a fitter & machinist in the late 90's, handy skills to have.

This should be fun to watch ;-)

Time for an update:

Managed to get the sheet aluminium case completed and the pcb installed in it, it worked perfectly first time, apart from the tone control which worked backwards, soon got it sorted out though, sounds great.

Looking forward to pics ;-)
