Show your pedal guts!

Orange dark terror preamp pedal

I also broke up and dual gang gain pot into a pet- and post- gain

Two identical channels that are footswitxhanle via relay and also can interface with external
Effects unit switching system.

King of tone. Apologies for the spaghetti mess.

[MAO]

Kinda cool, I like the little power distribution board

[Sensei Tim]

Thanks.  I’m going to be gluing everything down later tonight.

Prototype for the ROG "Fetzer Valve Revisited".

We always drill holes in our enclosures, I tried to cut slots instead as a design.
I took off the initial footswitch, this circuit is an always on here.

[Fuzz Prince Of Bel Air]

Wow.



How did you cut the slots? Like, what tool(s) did you use?

[balno]

I've only used my dremel tool and finished the work with a file. Aluminium is pretty soft and easy to cut, fortunately :)

This week marks one year since I bought a soldering iron and etched my first layout (GGG's MXR D+).

It's been a hell of a ride, so much learnt and sooooooo much to learn still.

Anyway I'd like to thank all the fine people from tagboardeffects and all of you in this forum, without whom I wouldn't have got this far! Your posts, your help and knowledge have proven to be invaluable to me.

Today's build, Baja's Mars Hall Plexi.

A productive year indeed and a rapidly fast transition from novice to superior builder. Well done my friend and keep up the good work in the new year!

Phil.

Congrats on a year of great work. Hope you stick around here on the forum and keep building for years to come :)

I like your use of screw terminals there. I’ve been incorporating those in some of my PCB layouts I’ve been working on recently.

Love your unique build style

[Blackboarcult]

Thanks a lot, fellas!

Rest assured I'm in for the long ride - as much as my wife, work and studies allow me ;-) This website and forum have almost become my home-beyond-the-screen

As for the terminals, it requires a few more jumpers (or dedicated layouts) and bigger boards, but hell, debugging and swapping is ten times easier with those! plus I can get them cheap as greenie caps at my local store...

Phil, I'm far from a superior builder yet, although being unemployed from January til September sure has helped in my development

Cheers!

Not exactly "pedal guts", but I'm quite proud of this week's build:

100W SS amp, with cornish buffer, STM's Speaker Saturation Simulator (adapted from Induction's layout), and Bajaman's Presence and Resonance, coupled with cheap-ass 100W mono amp and power source from ebay.

I placed a stereo jack output before the amp wired to stop signal from being feed into the amp when a jack is plugged in, for eventual DAW/Cabsim use after the FX.

Wiring is a bit off near the vero, but hey, I do what I can, my fingers are bratwurst-sized

I tested it with a Jackson tube preamp from the 80's, the Sunn Model T emulator, and the JCM800 emu, and I must say I REALLY like how it sounds. the combination of effects before the poweramp really gives a tube-y feel to it.

Again, thanks to all for all the layouts, inspiration and ideas!!

[Silver Blues]

That's sweet I love it

Really nice work. I made little eagle footprints for SMD JFETs as well because I love the idea of soldering those straight to the board instead of using adapter boards

Where did you get the PCB made?
