Hi: I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but I had an idea to use blank CD or DVD discs for inlay material, mainly neck dots. It's about 1mm thick. I do not own any of those hollow punch…Continue

its not a huge issue considering i got a 4 pack of dano effects for 30 bucks at GC .
i havnt tested the cb delay on a guitar amp . that circuit is in my volvo's theramin PA .
i modded that for a long delay too , and i used a cds cell . when you cover the cell the circuit makes this crash noise , really cool , and it recovers fine w/o a reboot !
i dont know how experienced you are with cbg's . i only made one so far and 2 amps . i used a piezo , and found i HAD to build a preamp . other folks may say you dont need em , thats cuz their amps can handle a piezo . if you run into that issue , lemme know , i can point you in the right direction to a super easy / cheep preamp circuit .
you can get cheap delay boards for cb radios and mod them as well . i think i paid 25 for the one i have , its modded as well . they also have delay and reverb chips you can buy online .
lemme know if you pull this off , its very interesting to me .
Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.
Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.
Most of all, have fun!
