Where to get empty pedal housings?

7 Strings of Hate · 04-15-2008, 03:46 PM

Howdy folks. I was reading Johanns (g3rmaniums) octaver thread recently and saw his links to diy pedal projects. I took a bit of electronics classes and have a decent knowledge of electronic components(plus my father has an electrical enginerring degree). I am thinking of tinkering with some of these projects, but if i do something worthy, i would like to actually use it instead of just having to plug into a breadboard. This brings me to my question. Where can you get an empty casing? I figured ol' joe would know, but i wanted to ask everyone just incase there is more than one option.

have you guys tryed to build your own pedals?

Berger · 04-15-2008, 05:57 PM

I've built a decent amount. nothing too fancy. Some from schematics, some from kits from general guitar gadgets.

also look at Effects Connection Online Store I haven't bought anything there, but I've heard good things about them.

Some pics of my recent builds
60's fuzz kit from ggg

Matsumin Valve Caster 12au7 starved plate distortion, I should get better pics since I painted it

Tubescreamer clone

nothing better than trogdor! the case was predrilled otherwise I would have liked it near his mouth for the firebreathing affect.

I have another tubescreamer clone that I'm building in a larger enclosure with a lot more switches, that is more of an ibanez green with black racing stripes...right now its not putting out the volume it should and the gain knob is doing nothing..time to trouble shoot

Good selection and service. You want the string to vibrate, that's a key component in how you get a great sound in my opinion. --zimbloth (completely out of context)
