Way Huge Swollen Pickle MKII

[johnk]

I was looking for a vero layout of the swollen pickle mkII but couldn't find one that worked properly ( all of them had errors, wrong values etc), so did quite a bit of research and experimentation and made a vero layout of my own. even though I use my pedals for bass, I found the 1uf coupling caps to yield TOO much low end (it sounded muddy) so I went with 100n's instead and it sounds great. I mounted the two internal pots (voice and clip) externally. anyway, here's a couple of pics of my final build:

Look really cool John, and a real coincidence, I did a layout a while ago for the Swollen Pickle using conventional transistors, but I didn't end up posting it because I thought everyone would want the IC version.  I think mine must have been the MKI though because it just ended up like a conventional muff.

thanks.
yeah, those quad array chips are not very common and I could've easily made it the MPQ3904 chip version but I wanted to able able to try different transistors in this one. that said, I did order some of the quad tranny chips and i'll probably make another vero for the stock pickle with it.

BTW, are you going to post a vero of it with the quad array chip?

Ace graphics dude, how did you print in white, do you have the Brother label maker or something?

[johnk]

yep, that's what I use on 90% of my pedals.

Which Brother Label Maker do you have? I thought that is a pretty good idea and then realized there were a bunch of different ones.

[johnk]

it's a PT-2100

Sorry I missed this John.  Yes I will if you want it. I started one for the MkI but didn't finish and did the transistor version instead.  Is it the MkII you want?

[Milkit]

I'd like to see the mkII version dude!  

[johnk]

yep. that's the one.

Hey John! Can you post the vero Layout for your MKII ?
