About six years ago I came up with the bright idea I would start etching my own boards – etching is easy, drilling all those holes is a pain, between eye strain and broken drill bits I’ll just buy a board.  This was the first and most successful of those projects.  It is a Noomerang (based on a runoffgrove project) which is supposed to be a modernized version of the Maestro Boomerang.  It sounded okay but lacked gain so I initially added a pot mounted SHO to make it louder but it tended to be harsh and noisy.  Decided it was time for a rehab.  Changed the switch for a long shaft version from Small Bear, replaced the in/out jacks with sturdier versions, added a GuitarPCB 3PDT board with bi-color LED, and replaced the SHO with a Stage 3 with the bass boost switch.  Also got rid of the questionable purple foot pad and knob I used in the initial build.  The shell is from a Dunlop Bass Wah that was one of several I purchased as non-working that worked fine.  The tredle parks in the up position.

The outside:

And the guts:

This one has a nice mellow sound that is different from any others I’ve heard or built so it’s got a place on the board.

Thanks for looking,

Chuck
