The Guts of the FAT Boostered.
Although it is thought of as Old School DIY, this thing should be revived for those seeking a dirty booster with great tone!

Inside this Highly Polished enclosure is a variation of the now Famous National-Semi circuit and known to many as the Mini-Booster. Great tone from this one!!

Flatline Compressor
An optical comp like the DOD but, with a feel and sound all it's own. Standard Etch using the same method shown in the Tutorial.

Red Llama
Circuit is built from the layout at gaussmarkov: diy fx....check out his site, it is Excellent! This is a "Reverse-Etch". Opposite of what is shown in the Tutorial. Neat looking but, ALOT of work.

Chrome Orange Squeezer
Very nice sounding Compressor! A DIY favorite! This enclosure was sanded out with 600/1000/1500/2000 sandpaper and buffed to a High Gloss finish. Looks just like the Chrome on a Harley!

AD3208
Here's one of the my most FAVORITE builds! and......my very first etched enclosure. Circuit is the AD3208 from GGG and is by far my Favorite Delay. It's big though, the "Cadillac of Analog Delays"!!

Echo-Matic
.....which is REALLY the TonePad Rebote 2.5. Great Delay with a warm analog-type sound. I still can't beleive I got it to fit inside this 1590B but, here's the proof. Very tight inside though!

EA Tremolo Build
Close-up side view of the completed Tremelo. This one spent less than 3 minutes in the actual etchant with only one rinse in-between.

EA Tremolo Build
Assembled and working like a charm. This is my favorite Trem circuit. I changed the volume control to a trim pot mounted on the PCB to rid the Unit of an unnecessary pot.

Group Photo
These Builds were all etched using PnP Blue/paint technique as seen in the photoessay.

OD-250 Build
My favorite OD, Great Tone. Another example of a reverse etch. Lettering and sides are very highly polished with semi-gloss black used to fill the etched area. Looks Cool but is much more work than the standard method.
