Introduction: DIY "POD GX Studio"
In this instructable i'll show you how to make a POD from a 10$ rockband mic. sorry for the crappy pics but all i had was my phone. Also i finished the actual device before i made the 'ible.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
Materials:
1 rockband microphone
1 enclosure (i used an old power supply)
wire
LED's of your choice (resistors too)
1 1/4" female jack
1 mini toggle switch
plexdiglass
Tools:
hot glue gun
soldering iron
solder
flat head screwdriver
pliers
drill
knife
"helping hands"
Step 2: Cut/sand Plexi and Sand LED's
the title says it all!! after your done sanding the leds wash them off to get a better finish. the plexiglass is just for an end cap because my enclosure didnt have one end.
Step 3: Drill Hole for the Switch
as the title says drill a hole slightly bigger than your switch in the side of the enclosure.
Step 4: Schematic/diagram
in the picture below it shows how to wire everything
Step 5: Finished!
congrats you are now done, also this is surprisingly good quality for a cheap device. Note the recording attached is recorded with this device hooked up to the line out of my marshall vs100h valvestate amp. if you have questions please email me. i will try to get my dad to take better pictures so it is clearer (he has a good camera).
