Members zhivago Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 it's a good idea I think...I don't build, but I love reading up on interesting threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dan-o-guitar Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Originally posted by sheepshears yes i'm with that idea.but dont forget about us builders over in the synth forum. Merging synth and guitar effects into one DIY forum would provide for some really cool cross pollination of ideas. The mind reels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 I like the idea, but being a very unsophisticated internet user, I know that I would just end up staying in HCFX anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paydirt Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'm an ex-woodworker and would not only be interested in building stompboxes, but speaker cabs, and I even want to take on building my own guitar. Not from peices, but from scratch. There was a very interesting thread in the amp forum where a guy showed step by step his replacing of the grill cloth on his speaker and adding piping. I get into stuff like that. I think it is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZJD Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Originally posted by jackpotjewell I wish I could build a pedal.

I just got in some boards for an LPB2 type silicon transistor booster... they are interesting because they can be used to make a variety of circuits. I'm still working on the circuit ideas: http://www.muzique.com/lab/booster.htm regards, Jack ps: thanks for the compliment Robopimp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted March 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2006 no problem, I think your stuff looks great. I am more into the perfboard stage right now but someday soon I think I will be buying PCBs (or making my own!! :thu )Originally posted by AMZ-FX I just got in some boards for an LPB2 type silicon transistor booster... they are interesting because they can be used to make a variety of circuits.

Members threm Posted March 11, 2006 Members Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just to avoid any misunderstandingIs a Do-It-Yourself forum practically much the same as a Do-It-Myself forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hoerni Posted March 11, 2006 Members Share Posted March 11, 2006 Originally posted by MadSkillzMan +1 am i the only one that did a DIY talkbox? Nope. I built one back in high school. Hey, it was the easiest project in Craig Anderton's book. (once I found a horn driver of course). I'm in for the DIY forum. I like a place for all the HC geeks (effects, amps, synths, dsp, etc) to get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MadSkillzMan Posted March 11, 2006 Members Share Posted March 11, 2006 it is the coolest, rarely used effect, thats the EASIEST Mine was a horn hooked to the guts of an old Regal amp i found. cost me 15$ total, it was self driven ..i sitll got it, sounds great, looks like {censored} though..built it inside a computer PSU that caught fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Bump.... Anyone else interested in this idea? Seperate forum for DIY'ers? I can't make any promises, but if there's enough interest, I'll send it up the flagpole and see if I can get "the powers that be" to salute. Only thing is, I think any "new" forums we're adding are all being "moderated". So who would you suggest for that assignment / position? It would probably be easier / more likely to fly if we have all of our ducks in a row in advance. And no, I do not want that gig either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be easier / more likely to fly if we have all of our ducks in a row in advance. And no, I do not want that gig either. Please add my vote again! An HC DIY forum would be great. Here's why:1. There are lots of other DIY forums, but they focus on specific things. So you have a forum for synth, and one for pedals, etc. One central DIY forum would offer a great way for people to see projects and ideas outside of their typical scope.2. Most of the existing DIY forums expect a certain level of technical proficiency and experience. That's great when you get to that level. However, I think that many of folks on HC are just getting their feet wet. The HCDIY would be a great place for beginner and intermediate folks to get their feet wet.3. Moderated is fine. Keep it on topic and under control. The last thing a DIY guys wants when he/she is struggling/frustrated is to be flamed by a dickwad.Do what you can to make it happen Phil, I think it would be a great addition to the board.

The HCDIY would be a great place for beginner and intermediate folks to get their feet wet. any of the forums i mentioned dont expect any level of experience. i am no professional, and no matter how stupid the question they have always answered without any ego tripping. i am not against a new forum, it just seems like people think its to difficult to go to another website to get information. i have found love from EVERY forum i have ever been to.
