Well, I went from playing with guitar effects to building them, to landing a job working on them, and vintage tube amps. I've done quite a few projects since I last updated, will post some soon!Thanks for reading, and as always, if you have any questions, feel free to email me!-JoshStormriderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06603793353718811619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093789493079602647.post-27113499156129370392009-04-20T01:37:00.001-07:002009-04-20T01:39:20.799-07:00Well, it's been a good long while, hasn't it?Yea...I tried to make this a weekly thing, however Iraq and my subsequent redeployment has put everything else on the back burner. I do have quite a few projects ongoing, and I will try to update as soon as I can. Look forward to more frequent updates!-JoshStormriderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06603793353718811619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093789493079602647.post-23347108313320749722008-10-06T08:12:00.000-07:002008-10-06T12:12:47.657-07:00Weekly How-To: Inside the Zoom 505 II Multi-effectsOk, ok, it really hasn't been weekly, but I'm working on that. Time is limited over here, and I make the most of it when I can. Enough rambling and excuses from me, let's tear this baby apart!What we're going to be doing today, is exploring the insides of the Zoom 505 II Multi-effects pedal. If you're interested in the history of this pedal, it can be found here (wikipedia entry) If you want one,Stormriderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06603793353718811619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093789493079602647.post-68521799573540184562008-10-05T10:23:00.001-07:002008-10-05T11:50:55.551-07:00Still working on new content....Things have been pretty busy over here, so I haven't had a lot of free time to work on projects, but once I do, I have one or two that I'll post here. Until then, here's some pictures of my latest project, in it's beginning stages.Right now, as you can see from the photos, all it does is go forwards when you plug a battery in. I have a fairly neat project in mind for it, once I get my replacementStormriderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06603793353718811619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093789493079602647.post-71038797221676047062008-09-24T07:19:00.001-07:002008-09-24T07:26:13.008-07:00Upcoming contentI have a few ideas in mind for the site. The first is an ongoing weekly series of articles, one How-To and one do it yourself electronic project. Also, product reviews once or twice a month, and disassembling guides for something new once a month. In addition to all of that, I plan on maintaining a directory of links related to hacking, and electronics in general.

I'm fairly sure this will apply to the x51 as well, and maybe the x50 series, but don't quote me on that. As you can see in the first image below, I broke the digitizer, but the underlying LCD works just fine. Also notice the tools you will need in the picture.

I intend this to be a place where myself, and other contributors can post accounts of their electronic projects, both finished, and still on the workbench. I will also be publishing reviews of whatever equipment I use, how-to guides for basic electronic and audio projects, and things I've learned as I experiment.I should have some more content over theStormriderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06603793353718811619noreply@blogger.com0
