DIY Stompboxes

Howya lads,
a while back i was toying with the idea of making a few stompboxes from bits available to buy on the net. i've made a few and its now becoming an obsession! here's a clip of a tubescreamer clone that i've just finished: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39Hpcds1D_Y

sound path is prs se custom 22 through pedal straight into soundcard, amplitube 2 did the honours of amp modelling. (american clean amp, bit of eq and reverb)

so far i've made this, a analog sounding digital delay, a bluesbreaker clone, an MXR Distortion + clone, a tremolo and a clone of a Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer compressor (which i've since butchered again for bits).
has anyone else made any?

ps, i will not apologise for out-of-tuneness, dodgy photos, bad playing, even worse stomp timing or cruddy strings

i made the bluesbreaker clone as well,great sound and great fun to make.i moved on to amps,a great starter amp is the g2(2 watts) from madamps.i am getting a 5watter from ampmaker soon.that g2 only works out at about 100euro(great value).keep up the good work.

good stuff, but i think i'd be a bit nervous of an amp for a while, too much of a chance of blowing myself up i reckon. might look into it though
