#ALTOIDS TANGERINE SOURS REDDIT PATCH#

I'm going to shake things up a bit and use a Newman's Own Ginger Mint Tin to be a hipster, but that arrives with the patch cables on Saturday.Īny questions, please ask away! And if anyone has thoughts on the Korg Pitchblack Poly vs the TC Electronic Polytune Mini, please let me know. Worth every penny of the $17 I spent on the plank of wood from Home Depot.

It's sturdy, has plenty of space for everything, and is already inspiring me to play on it. It looks gorgeous, and my biggest regret is that I only have my iPhone to take pictures of it for this album. Will add 1/4' locking couplers ('solderless jacks') to it at another time. If I'd not arbitrarily added size to it over what I thought I needed, I'd be squeezed for space at best, and unable to fit everything I want in the layout I want at worst. I spent the time to measure everything beforehand, added some inches onto length and width of the deck, added a half inch to the height, and it ended up being exactly right. I submitted late last night as a text post and it didn't get many (any) eyeballs, so I'm resubmitting now as an album. Second post with construction and staining process. If I make another, I'll halve the length and add a few bands to keep the wires straight and tangle-free.įirst post with signal chain and test layout pre-build. The length is enough that I can keep the Walkman on a belt-clip while holding the Altoids tin at waist-height, but I mostly use it on my desk, so it's pointless. The wires themselves are also pretty long (about 18') and prone to tangling. I'm worried it'll cut the wires over time. I sanded it down a little, but I could've done a better job. The reason I don't trust my handiwork is I didn't have a Dremel for the Walkman case hole, and had to use wire-cutters to snip off bits instead. Here's the exact pot I used and the Ouija Altoids tin. Then I hot-glued the pot into the backside of the tin's top lid (it's too small to glue to the tin bottom), being careful not to cover any wires or pads, closed the lid, put down the numbered dial position circle thing (with some gorilla glue to make sure it'd stay in place), and finally put the potentiometer's knob on.

When I was sure of that, that's when I soldered the wires to the pot. Then I drilled a hole in the top of the Altoids tin big enough to get the potentiometer shaft to fit through and spin freely while still being snug. For usefulness/cosmetcs, I cut a hole in my Walkman case to run the wires out, then poked a hole in the side of an Altoids tin, sanded away the rough edges, and threaded the other end of the wires through. After that, solder the other end of the three wires to your potentiometer and you're done as far as the sound's concerned.

You desolder the trim pot, then solder three wires to the pads where the trim pot was.
