...for parts. According to USPS, I have two packages set for delivery today and tomorrow. Lots of goodies for this (and upcoming) builds. I also found a drilled Red 1590B enclosure on eBay that will be a perfect match, but that won't be here until next week.
Tony (the guitarist I am building this for) - asked if I could get graphics onto the enclosure - like a decal or lettering. I've worked with waterslide decals before, so I need to order some inkjet decal paper and get to Photoshopping. I also pestered him for his choice in knobs so I can get those ordered (hopefully from the same place...), but those are the last bits I need for the build.
So, until everything I need arrives (AND I have time to solder and assemble...) - no build progress yesterday. However - I did add up the running cost of parts and stuff for this build so far.
Taking into effect bulk parts pricing, average shipping costs (including multiple shipments from multiple retailers) - the total cost in components SO FAR comes to...(drum roll please)...$25.70!!! Tack on another 3-5 bucks for knobs and the waterslide decal paper, and we'll bump it to an even $30.
Compare that to the cost of what a used Lovepedal Fuzzmaster is going for on Reverb...
Unfortunately, mine won't come with the awesome cardboard box....
