I also managed to track down the LED cover Fortin use as well, so it looks more legit. I used a green LED, which is brighter than the sun. I tracked down the 5 Gum logo, tweaked it in MS Paint, then got a vinyl lettering company to send me a couple. This came to me like an apparition one night, and the design was set in stone. ![]() Back before the internet was somewhere your Aunt shares 5G conspiracies, and I was a frequent watcher of Devvo, Salad Fingers and this classic: I'm 36, so I grew up in the early days of widely accessible internet. Nothing against actual clones, you do you, but that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted the look of the Fortin 33, but I didn't want to create a forgery. I think for certain aesthetics, the unfinished aluminium enclosure and retro clicker labels look really cool, but it wasn't the look I was going for. Using the included drilling template (and my choice of DC jack) meant I needed to turn a little nylon spacer, but that really wasn't the end of the world. The second build was pretty straight forward. Up until recently I've been a "guitar->tuner->distortion pedal->amp" type of guy. Also I've never been much of a pedal user. I know you can achieve the same thing with an EQ pedal, but the one knob simplicity appealed to me. Like many others, I looked into pedal building as I'm fairly practical, I love making things, and I didn't want to spend several hundreds on a Fortin 33! So far my pedal building whilst messy, has a 100% success rate, 50% of the time I subsequently ordered a new PCB, and this one was successful! I tried some trouble shooting but realised I should probably just start afresh. Tried to do the PedalPCB Triangulum boost, it didn't work. ![]()
