I had to figure out a gift for my brother in-law. Him being someone who likes to play guitar... ALOT! I came across this idea on the web and in a few hours built one myself. I had to do the case on the cheap as it was the night before I needed to give it to him and didn't have a lot of stock... nor am I a wood worker. ;D He added the labels for gain and volume... I blame him for the ugliness.

I used the schematics for the RUBY (http://runoffgroove.com/ruby.html) from runoff groove. I gotta admit, it sounds very nice. Very Clapton like (even tho I am not a fan). My bro in-law loves it.

Gary,
Nope, those are radioshack specials. I didn't have a knurler yet or I would have made them out of brass to match the amp. There are lots of plans on the runoff groove (http://runoffgroove.com/) website. Some more HERE (http://www.beavisaudio.com/) as well. Build him one... He will love it. From what I understand, the custom hand built audio is gaining a lot of momentum. All of his band mates have been begging me to build one.

Eric Thanks for the web sites they look interesting. I have 3 lathes,3 manual knee mills, and a cnc knee mill and a cnc bed mill at work i can use for my hobbies when I have spare time at work, witch is not very often because there are only 2 of us in the automation dept. Me and the kid I am training to take my place when I retire in 3 years.
