EQD The Depths (gut shots)

[rocket88]

Sounds good. In all seriousness Alex you'll probably make a much neater layout for this than I would, but I'll still take a stab at it.

[Alex]

No worries. Neater doesn't make it better. We'll put all the names in there anyway. Whatever Ciaran choses, it will be his fault!
I was thinking it should possibly fit in a 1590B box like the original but I've started drawing the op-amps part and...
Maybe a separated LDR/LED board would help?

[Kinski]

Excited for this one!

If you do a separated board for the LDR/LED, and they are stacked, you would most likely need a taller enclosure. Perhaps a 125B? Also, would this increase the chances of the dreaded LFO Tick?

[Travis]

The original is a 125B Alex so that gives a little more room.

[Alex]

Crap! Thanks guys! Now I don't remember the max span for a 125B..
23x24?

[BassVD]

Original is a 125B indeed, a 1590B would be too small I guess.

[Travis]

I don't have a 125B (shamefully) or I'd check it for ya Alex!

[Ciaran Haslett]

Schem corrected on page 1 and hi res sent to the lads.  FIGHT!

[Alex]

I think if you put 3 pots on the top of the box, 2 on the side in the middle with the LEDs/LDR board in between, the 2 jacks, the 3PDT and the power plug at the bottom it might fit in a 1590B Box.
If you isolate the daughterboard wires it shouldn't tick. What do you think?

[Ciaran Haslett]

Maybe.  Thats the arrangement I tend to do for all my builds.  It allows more board length when you don't have to fight with a top mounted DC socket.  The depth of the dual gang rate pot might still be an issue with a board on top of that but I'm perfectly happy to try.

[Travis]

Have you breadboarded this Ciaran?

[Ciaran Haslett]

First thing tomorrow morning lad.  I'm fairly confident the trace matches BassVD's pics and the scheme deffs matches the trace. I'll put it to bed once and for all tomorrow.

[Travis]

Cool man I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions!

[Ciaran Haslett]

Schematic updated and verified on Page 1.  Yay!  Spent too long looking for a problem on the breadboard I completely missed that I copied a cap value wrong from the board pics to the trace.  Literally pissed me off so much I've no interest in hooking up my guitar and amp for a good evaluation.  I'm away for a beer and some Battlefield haha.

May the Layout Wars begin!

[BassVD]

Ha, wow, that's some great work, Ciaran! Good job on the trace and that you could get it working.

[Ciaran Haslett]

Wouldn't have happened without you lad!  Cheers for trusting us not to break your pedal lol

[Alex]

To draw this layout for a 125B box was a nightmare!
I think I had less stress with the Sagan Delay!
Good luck Zack and Travis! (Not to draw a better layout but just to go through the stress of drawing one)
I've drawn 2: one for the 125B and one for 1590B (in theory).
The second one is correct but you better double check the first one (99% sure it should match the schematic but...)
(Already added all names just in case we'll end up using 1 of the 2)

[rocket88]

Jesus Christ man. Mine has been nearly double the size of yours. I may have to conceed on this one. Lol

[Kinski]

Holy crap! This just went to the top of my to-build list. I gotta order some parts first. Out of enclosures and running low on a few values.

[BassVD]

That's some crazy work you did there! Good job. :)

I couldn't help but immediately notice two things in the first layout:
1) There's no D2?
2) There's a cut+link under the TL072?

My eyes aren't trained enough to see any other things that are off, so someone else might notice other things (or not).
