Show your pedal guts!

[rocket88]

i think this one is a little neater then my others

Very nice!

My first gut shot - a recently completed Hao Rust Driver in a 1590B.  The sound was a little mid heavy so I added a tone control (a variation of the SWTC)... Much nicer!  I can coax more trebles out of it now.  Note the use of foam for mounting the vero.  I also use the Vick Audio 3PDT board which greatly simplifies the off-board wiring.

hello to everybody
i think it's time for me to show you my first board...
tritsky drive...





you can see there the high quality components i've used.
the best dpdt switch for stompboxes, the fantastic plastic potentiometer, and you can also see how much space i've saved from my veroboard

i also think it's high time for me to show you my first attempt of boxing...
vox repeat percussion....


 


i know...
....masterpiece...
just pay attention at my factory-like solderings.
 look at the plastic enclosure,
 the "gentlypushwithyourfoot-plasticswitch" ,
the short wiring,
and again those godmade plastic pots that everyone should stock thousands like i did in the beginning...

after those photos, i hope you guys don't quit practicing...  
one day you'll reach me i'm sure...


mark those are for your collection man...!!!

Officially my new favorite post on this message board.

haha, totally true heath

You forgot the most important part! Orange wire sounds better! It's scientific fact!

Excellent work.

[Frank_NH]

Hey - it doesn't look as bad as some "for sale" pedals I've seen...

In any case, I've found that, in the end, the electrons don't care too much what it looks like...

A good thing, too, or most of my pedals wouldn't work worth a damn.

haha!i see...you've found my secret! yes the orange wires are much better for these kind of builds...!!!

thank you guys!
i 'm happy you liked my post!

all my builds worked. even the "trotsky" one, which i build to a vero straight from a pcb from beavis audio

but it was that time that i first found out i could build effects, and i couldn't wait for any orders...every junk electronics i could find in my town, i bought them...lots of wasted money...those are the only money i cried for...and that's why i now have a great ebay and ali stock

From a batch of Rangemasters.  Everything just fits, including a battery. . .

Here is a pedal that I built for a friend of mine. When I asked him what his favorite pedal was, he said that it was the Boss DS1. That is when I new he needed an intervention. On the left is a Timmy and on the right is a simple JHS Bomb Boost. Then I installed a 3pdt toggle so that you can reverse the order and push the timmy with the boot. Instead of paint, I went with a tweed covering, thanks to some great advice from John Lyons at Basic Audio Pedals.

So here is my first vero. I've done a couple of musikding kits before, but I like the vero better. A little more work, but also a little more satisfaction :). I did a catalinbread DLS mkIII (BTW in reality it is white, I guess I was wearing a green shirt...):

[rocket88]

sheldon, nice job with the tweed, i totally dig it.

tondo, great job man, especially on your first vero. now how did you get the superlead 4pdt switch to have make all the changes in the circuit and have an led. i've been planing on doing just that, but i thought you'd need a 5pdt switch to have the led, cause there aren't enough lugs on a 4pdt switch.

[alltrax74]

[rocket88]

alltrax. isn't that for order switching not switching components in/out of the circuit? on the layout mark did it has the 3 individual switches, 2 spdt 1 dpdt, so if they're all together its a 4pdt just for the components, not for an led at all.

[alltrax74]

Right, my bad, this is the effect order switcher

[rocket88]

no prob buddy, i thought i was missing something. plus i'm glad you posed that. i have something in mind and needed that. i forgot it was from beavis, so thanks for it.
