Thoughtless 7 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 I bought the 250+ and the TS kits. I've only done the 250+ now, but they are great fun and you learn a lot about things when putting them together. I'd definitely recommend anyone interested in making a pedal, but doesn't know where to start to get one. Here is the finished product: Quote
Hugh Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Nice, it sure is fun to learn as you build your first couple of them, ha? Quote
WezV Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 i have just done a phaser, big muff clone and tribooster in the last few months - cool little projects for a saturday afternoon and they sound very nice as well!! Quote
Thoughtless 7 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Posted July 9, 2007 How hard was the Tribooster? Quote
rhoads56 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I just bought 75 BYOC pedals!! ... but then again, i am the Aussie distributor Quote
WezV Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I found the tri boost really easy - i had a few problems with the phaser but mostly because i was modding it Quote
biliousfrog Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 where did you get them from, somewhere in the UK? Quote
Thoughtless 7 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, i got my kit from Vibe-o-tronic. They were really quick and friendly people! Quote
WezV Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I have been a/bing the large beaver with one one the sovtek big muffs and i have to say the BYOC pedal kicks its fat green arse! I am really impressed with the sound quality on these kits - although obviously part of that comes down ot how well you put it together Mine also came with vibe-o-tronic and never took mroe than a couple of days Quote
Thoughtless 7 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Posted July 9, 2007 I even got a free plectrum with my kits! I'm really tempted to get the Tribooster and the Mighty Mouse. I've just painted my TS casing. Its a nice orange colour. I know the originals are green, but this is my pedal so it can be my colour! I'll post pics later. Quote
biliousfrog Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 cool! I've seen the kits before but didn't know that there was a UK distributer. I've got a dead Vox swell pedal which I'd like to change into a wah...my Bad Horsie doesn't really do it for me, however, I can't find any info on the pedal & I'm worried that I might end up destroying a collectors item. I really doubt it but it would be just my luck. It is built differently to any others that I've seen & has a bizarre linkage system inside for controlling the turn of the pot which might prevent me from using the BYOC kit. Thanks for the heads up, if I ever run out of other projects I'll try out one of the kits. Quote
