Russian BMP rehouse

Sign in to disble this ad
So, at the arlington guitar convention, I was randomly given an old multimeter that one of the guys running a booth had found. He instructed me to do something cool with it, and, since I had nothing better to do today, I did. I took my russian big muff and rehoused it inside the multimeter. Apologies for the crappy cell phone picture.

The hardest part was drilling holes for the jacks and a little inlet for the power adapter. Which, looking back, wasn't hard at all. A pretty decent way to kill an afternoon.

Yeah, it'd be even better if the VU worked. Looks pretty cool...

Thats awesome! I've always wanted to re-house some of my pedals into random things after my friend made an i-pod docking stereo/toaster.

Hit up beavisaudio.com and email him...
He might be able to show you a way to get the VU working.

OT - Your Guttermouth DOOM Fuzz should arrive today! Look @ the guts for the pedal. You wanna talk about easy rehouses (minus the insane amount of glue)?! Smallest board EVER.

I know! I looked at it, and it seemed like there were like five components on the board. I'm really curious as to what it's based off of, or where the guy came up with the idea. But, with all the glue, I'd probably destroy it. I'm gonna email beavis about the VU meter.

Also, thanks for all the positive comments, guys.
