Fuzz Face enclosure project : IKEA Soupa Fuzz

The Fuzz face has a particular sight to it, I remember it was round. When I rediscovered the below unused IKEA cereal/soup bowls, the sight of a half spheric Fuzz Face assailed my mind.

I didn't at all go back to look at how it really looked, just wanted to find the right red, that would do it.

here's an original, outside:



and inside:




The unsuspecting bowls, basic production methodology sold as arty design. Stainless steel, so these muthers are a hard nut to crack as far as drilling is concerned. Whatever you do, don't touch the hole after drilling. .. Anyway, you'll learn. I know I did...

I'd call your pedals " FX by Mcguyver"

Lets see, I have some masking tape, a lighter , some bleach and some diodes. Yeah! Lets make a kick ass pedal.

Really, I think what you are doing is cool!

Keep it up!
