Barber Compact Direct Drive & Gain Changer

ichilton
Any chance of some layouts for the schematics Barber provide on their site?

Compact Direct Drive (some differences to the old Direct Drive layout already on):

Gain Changer - looks like basically the same layout as above with some value changes:

Thanks,

Ian

I just drew up a vero for the gain changer. I haven't built it yet so I can't verify it, but i'll probably build it tomorrow.

just built and tested my vero of the gain changer and it worked perfect the first time. (YAY!) what an awesome sounding pedal! my layout is 21 x 16, so even with the two SPDT switches and only 3 pots, it should fit pretty easily in a 1590B. I just need to box it up now.
fortunately, I didn't have any standup resistors but there is one 10K one that occupies only 3 rows. and I had to do a couple of 'tricks' to get it to stay within 21 columns but it was worth it. i'm sure Mark could  make a better (and possibly smaller)  layout but i'm thrilled with how mine came out and sounds

John, that's great and tidy as usual!

Where do you get the green vero and especially the tiny switches?

i'm sure that Mark will post a beeter one soon. every time I post one of my layouts it seems to go either unnoticed, or unappreciated.

Aw. That's a bummer mate. Well, for the record, I would notice and appreciate. Your builds are always so clean and slick, I'm always aspiring for mine to look as nice as yours...

Hi Todd. if you email me directly i'd be happy to email you my vero of it.
BTW, being a bass player, I use all of my pedals mostly with a bass. here's a quick clip of the gain changer with my p bass.
