I don't understand your question.
Are you're asking what effects are on that board?
Then my first impression is that you are either plain ignorant, lazy to use Google, or just trying to be funny. I don't know, so I won't judge.
TB-83 is the Pete Cornish treble boost. The TB-83 duplex is just 02 x Tb-83 in a single unit. Or is it 02 x the TB-83 extra? Either or, I can't recall.
The Echoplex is well, the Echoplex. And the Foxx Phaser is the one that Brian May made famous.

excuse the poor grammar
im better explaining with static & moving visuals
fuzz & phaser- 2 different thing?or abt same efx sound?
this is a video test dan o wah danelectro, he is good!

Fuzz and Phasers are two different things. Please keep up on your research on youtube or google.
The Dan O Wah has a fuzz circuit into the wah, it's not the same thing as a Fuzz with a Phaser but it's a sound made popular by Jimi Hendrix of a fuzz and a wah. Err...
You can get a Foxx Phaser, they have modern versions of it. It's just a phaser with somewhat fuzzy sounds with controllable sweep using your foot like a wah pedal.
You can get a Fuzz pedal from anywhere, there are many in the market.
A Echo pedal is actually called a Delay Pedal, any delay pedal can give you an Echo sound. But to be closer to the Echoplex, which is extremely expensive, you can get a Analog Delay pedal, not a Digital Delay pedal, notice the difference. Or a Tape Echo pedal/box which Danelectro also produces.

fuzz is fuzz and phaser is phaser. Those 2 are totally different circuit with no similarity
but,
back in the 70s, manufacturers like to mix fuzz with wah wah, fuzz with phaser(in that foxx one) etc and push it out in the same package, Those are 2 different effect, but mixed together in same enclousre
in present time, its the same as connecting a phaser pedal, after the fuzz pedal, except that your modulation have to be adjusted via an expression pedal.
edited: Echoplex and tape delay are in a leauge of their own, analog delay are fine on their own, but just different from tape echo. I have 2 moog delay, echoczar which are analog based. But the time when trying a real tape echo. Its just different in term of the quality of sound, controls and functionality.
back then, lotsa delay pedals werent called delay pedals coz they have very short timing(unlike now) and thus sounded more like echo than the "on and on it goes" repeat we have in modern delay effect

DIY? u can start by learning to make a pedal.
seriously dont get the initial question.
seriously dont get the initial question.
thannk you ppl.. treble booster is to boost the high frequency right?
not diy a pedal> more of recycle & experiment, frm new to old school camp..
can identifyy certain sound efx but just cant find the right word or term to use
ok will try put up better diagram soon.. dont have to be perfect mayish or cornish blueprint...

man gear does not equate to how good a player is.
And i honestly dont understand ur qns.
And i honestly dont understand ur qns.
Tread Starter, I hope you would type out your questions properly first before asking. You don't need good grammer to ask, What effects to build a pedalboard like this. What is Phaser, is it same like fuzz? No bombastic words used.
And also please spend more time searching for your answers on google or even the library if need be. Would waiting around in a forum for simple questions be rather time wasting?
Also gear don't equate the guitar player. bro j_m_s probably is a good jang janger, but the more expensive the gear don't mean you are a better player. A old man owning a Ferrari don't mean he is better then Micheal Shumacher in his Fiat Croma.
No disrespect to old men everywhere.

i smoked a beemer in a datsun once.. hehehe :mrgreen:
ok let us try not to go off topic, advise how to diy this kind of pedal board set up -
let me try again, it dont have to follow exact mayish or cornish blueprint, phaser or fuzz dont matter..
suggest what kind of materials can be used, as long it is functional & look like the pedal board replica set up,
the look with that 2round buttons, wah-like pedal, small metal box, double switch metal box & messy cables, etc.

I think you should just give up on your question for now, because for one, nobody seems to understand what you're saying. And whatever responses we give and your replies to them, you don't seem to understand our inputs as well.
And what in the world is mayish blueprint. -_-)|||
Research on DIYing your own pedal (OR pedalboard; seriously I don't know which you're asking about), identify the different sound effects, use the dictionary to check on words your don't understand, then ask us here when you can express yourself better.
I don't even know why I'm feeling frustrated reading this thread.

the look with that 2round buttons, wah-like pedal, small metal box, double switch metal box & messy cables, etc
so basically, you want things that look like the thiings that looked in the pic, up till the black and white feel, i, am assuming
for the first 2 button, since you will never find nor have anything thats like echoplex, theres no need to have the real thing, just find 2 semi circular object, put in a 2pdt, x wing style stompswitch and make it look like that will do($5.50 to $6.50 ish from sim lim tower). The cable, just fake it and make it look like its going somewhere.
The reason why these 2 switches dont need to be connected to anything coz you have no echoplex to mute nor have a delay pedal extra output or loop input/output to plug in these mute buttons.
the fuzz phaser, again, since you just need something that look like it, but not do the same thing, you have already found it in the doggie fuzz wah, so no need to go on
the fox chaser and the tb 83, easiest way, go find a effect techie, make them rehouse any pedals with the same amount of knobs(trebleboost only got one knob for some pedals, go find those) into similar enclousure and paint it in the same black, or white scheme.
the wooden board, try ikea or stake out industrial area where some companies will discard wooden crate and stuff. Take/buy one piece from there and repaint/respray it in the same colour scheme as the picture.
the cables, just find black cables, jump and step on it on dusty floor to season it. Black taped it and
lastly, theres a need to search and check out the kind of carrying case that they were using for the board. Coz utimately, the basic functionality of the pedalboard, other than putting it on the foor to be used, the other thing is to have a carrying case for it to be transported around.
ignore the carrying case if just need a replica to play at home for fun.

what is 1pdt?
x wing style stompswitch?
The reason why these 2 switches dont need to be connected to anything coz you have no echoplex to mute nor have a delay pedal extra output or loop input/output to plug in these mute buttons.
so the 2 switches is to mute the echo/delay pedal, meaning the echoplex is on external rack?
was thinking to make the cable functional, frm instrument going into amp via the pedal board..
the fuzz phaser, again, since you just need something that look like it, but not do the same thing, you have already found it in the doggie fuzz wah, so no need to go on
on second thought, the doggie fuzz wah is too big & heavy,
may need another wah or volume pedal abt the same size as that fox..
the fox chaser and the tb 83, easiest way, go find a effect techie, make them rehouse any pedals with the same amount of knobs(trebleboost only got one knob for some pedals, go find those) into similar enclousure and paint it in the same black, or white scheme.
ok to rehouse in another metal enclosure but no paint needed going minimal

thank you pat, no problem on the transporter,
it'll be good if can keep at our natural museum for sound & visual efx, :mrgreen:

yes, ilove you..
Yes bro, i understand that, i wish i can say the same thing as well, but the manhood ego in me is so hard that i cant bring my self to a softer side in soft forum. I was never soft nor softies, iam hard as rod, cant be soft. So do pardon, i cant say the L word, coz, i, am so hard, i, am hardrod!
what is 1pdt?
x wing style stompswitch?
1pdt as what jms mentioned, is pole and throw. The more common way of calling it is spdt(single pole double throw) Dpdt(2pdt, aka double pole double throw), 3pdt(triple poles double throw and so on). Its the technical term to describe the terminals/points on switches. Our lighting switch at home is a spst type, aka on and off.
X wing style is a 2pdt stompswitch that can be found in some effect pedals, the x wing term is not a proper term but more of effect people using it for easy naming it according to the patterns of the metal pieces underneath the switch, like this below
so the 2 switches is to mute the echo/delay pedal, meaning the echoplex is on external rack?

yup, echoplex is much more bigger than any effect pedal, for how it look like, try google for it, theres couple of different versions. Nine inch nail named one of their song after it as well.
if you wanna make the foot switch functional, i have ideas. First, you need a digital delay with tap tempo.
The tap tempo footswitch will account for 1 of the 2 switches.
As for the other footswitch, you can have a true bypass looper and have the delay in the loop(always switched on). And with this true bypass looper, you will use it to on and off the delay instead. The only thing is that you will have 2 jacks(input and output) and 2 cables coming out from this footswitch thats connected to the delay, so it wont be authentic.
Another idea, it would be perfect looking like the footswitch in the picture, one stompswitch and one cable coming out from it. This will get a little bit confusing so bear with me. First, you will need a delay with expression control jack(to control the delay timing or repeat via an expression pedal)
But, instead of using expression pedal, you will replace it with a specially built footswitch with a potentiometer inside the enclosure(looking like the one in the picture) to take over the place of the expression pedal. So instead of using expression pedal to control the rate, you will have a footswitch with a hidden pot(inside enclosure) set to a particular setting. Stepping on this footswitch will change the delay timing/repeat according to the setting of the hidden pot
I have built something similar before and it work like a fixed expression pedal. With this, it will take the place of the 2nd footswitch in the pic.
Pardon me, i know it seem confusing, but if got play with expression pedal before, it might be a bit clearer.
on second thought, the doggie fuzz wah is too big & heavy,
may need another wah or volume pedal abt the same size as that fox..
you are lucky. Foxx actually made a comeback and reissue the fuzz phaser. I dont think theres any dealer locally, but if wanna, try some online store for this.
