Members cromulent Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 First time I did something like this, but I think it came out pretty nice. Really tight fit but I managed to get it all in there. So tight that one of the jacks was touching the metal enclosure and shorted it out or something, but I reset it and it works now. Measuring and drilling - took forever! Still need to get some different knobs. Maybe some white chicken heads. Also need to decorate it somehow...

Members bowlingshirt Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 why rehouse it big muffs are cool assilly child Probably because they are the size of a toaster oven and he needed to save space on the pedalboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hand Amputation Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 Let me ask you guys.. I have an old green "rounded letter" big muff that someone painted horribly. I have built a few simple pedals, and am handy with a soldering gun.How hard is it to recase one? are the knobs wired to the circuit board? directly atttached?im guessing you installed a new switch? I really want to rehouse one, and add an AC adapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uma Floresta Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 Congrats. Mine was rehoused by Inscho then sold to me. It IS a tight fit. Electrical tape is your friend, because certain components, if they come into contact with the bare case, will short it out and you'll get no sound (not a huge deal - it won't ruin the pedal).

That red case is nice! Electric tape is a good idea, thanks! Yeah, the pedal used to fit on my board but lately I got some new pedals and didn't feel like bringing an extra bag to practice just for one bigass pedal. I didn't resolder anything, but I guess I could have since there are a lot of long wires that get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I had some fun with it. I keep meaning to upload another photoessay, but haven't gotten around to it... The green would be very cool...or even a camo paint scheme if you're ambitious. (though flat olive drab might be a bit easier!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
