Build Your Own Clone Message Board

Here are three more builds from my bench. I have a really awful digital camera with no close-up macro so they don't look so hot.

The first one is The Rooster Booster. It's a reworking of my old BYOC Rangemaster kit into a Tri-Boost, in a Hammond 1590BB enclosure with an added tone control. The tone control really comes in handy for taming some of the fizziness of the Germanium setting. I've always loved the song "Little Red Rooster" and I'm a diehard fan of Foghorn Leghorn so The Rooster Booster it was:



The next one is the Resident Ringer. It's not a BYOC kit but I decided to stick it up here anyway. It's basically a GGG Green Ringer board. I had a 18-year-old DOD A/B box that was just laying around useless so I gutted it and built the Resident Ringer inside of it. I've always loved The Residents and I really like the way I've got the Violet LED centered right in the pupil of the eye:





The last one is my most recent build. It's a Distortion+ clone built with a BYOC board inside of a BUD/MXR-sized enclosure. I got the burnt mustard color down pretty close. It's actually Testor's 'Afrika Mustard'. It's a flat finish paint but I glossed over it and it was cool. The knobs and boots are actual Dunlop, MXR re-issues that I got from DIY Stompboxes. Just to be cheesy, I stuck a bright amber LED in this one.

HAHAHA I like the LED in the eyeball.

Awesome! Your charm comes thru in your pedals!!

+1 on that, Mant! Congrats, on some beautiful work!

Nice stuff! Also liked the Led eyeball!

these are classy man, i like your style.

does the dist+ clone say mxr on it or something else, i cant read it that well

These toggle switches with colored tips are sooooo cooooolll

Nice ones !

It's real hard to read in the picture but it's actually MSP which are my own initials.

Nice builds "Mant"... now that I'm on vacation for 3 weeks I hope to finish some builds too... and yes you do have a crappy camera... maybe Santa will bring you a new one if you've been good... well on second thought you should probably just buy one...

That ringer is rad.

Well I messed with this crappy digi-cam I've got and I got some pics that are slightly better looking. I really like the font I used for The Rooster Booster. You can actually ready most of my text now - LOL. I can't remember the name of the font right off hand, but I got it from a web site for online comic developers. I thought it looked sort of like the credits in a lot of the old Warner Brothers cartoons so I used it.
