Some of Syd Mead's concept art for Blade Runner, upscaled to wallpaper res 3840x2160, cropped, denoised, color corrected and otherwise edited for the screen. These are NOT the originals as produced by Mr. Mead, if you are looking for 1:1 unmolested versions of the original art this isn't it.

(I'm not sure Tumblr will host these at the original full-res without downsampling them? See what happens I guess)

I zipped the full-sizes on my Dropbox if you should want them.

Building a Stompbox Without a Drill

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to build a stompbox into a junction box without having to drill any holes. This might be common sense, but it can’t hurt to document the process. Junction boxes are very cheap and can be found at any hardware store.

For this project I decided to build a KROK Feedback Loop from Experimentalists Anonymous. I didn’t want a bypass switch and am just using a feedback on/off switch. This project is passive, meaning it doesn’t need a power supply. This saves on a few components and makes for a simple project.

Here’s what you need:

Box Cover Metal Washers - Two 3/8" for each jack and potentiometer, Two ½" for the stomp switch. Stomp Switch 500kA Potentiometer 4 Mono Jacks Wire Paint

Start out by getting rid of the knock-outs where you want to place your components. A hammer or pliers help, but these usually give with finger pressure.

Take your washers and place one on each side of the enclosure, insert your components through and get them finger tight in case you want to move or adjust them before you start wiring.

Next wire it up and solder. You’ll notice I’m using a different potentiometer than in the first photo with the parts laid out. I realized the smaller potentiometer wasn’t long enough and wouldn’t fit with the washers. They do however, fit in the holes in the top of the enclosure. They need to be threaded/twisted in, but they will fit without drilling out the hole. Always measure twice!

Finish tightening everything down, add knobs and a base plate and you’re ready to go.

Decided on a new knob

Decided to paint the base plate silver to match the rest of the pedal

Even with my decisions to change things around and dealing with the consequences not measuring, this project took under an hour and was built mainly with parts that were lying  around. Next time I’ll document an active circuit.
