This will be the fourth time I try to build one of these. I made a PCB for the original using the layout from GGG. I never finished this. Then I built and finished a second using the layout from UStomp.com. I couldn’t get this to work. I forget what the problems were, it was…
I’ve run into a few project lately, Casualty 4 and Sunking, that fit in a B sized box, but leave no room for a battery. This has me rethinking the battery as a power source. To be honest I use batteries almost exclusively. I rarely use a power supply. The reason, I don’t own a…
Not sure if this is Sunking or Sun King. Either way it’s clone of the Klon Centaur. That apparently fits into a B sized box. Hats off to MadBean for making that happen. I way have to give this one a try. Here’s a link: http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6392&start=40
Here’s a project that I built up some years ago. This never found it’s way into a box. I dug it out and decided to try and box it up. Difficult with the number of switches and knobs. I think I have a viable plan to shoehorn it into a BB sized. box. This is…
Here’s a PCB ready for boxing. This is basically a well tuned Ross clone. The original was made by Way Huge. This, Saffross, is clone made from a layout by MarkM over at DIYStompboxes.
I had wanted build a compressor for a while now. But had never actually gotten around to actually making one. A few months ago I etched and soldered a a Saffron Squeeze, which is a Ross clone. Somehow I had not actually finished this before I found stripboard layout for John Hollis’ Flatline, which jumped…
Here’s interesting phaseshifter idea I found over at Circuit Workshop. The Casualty 4 is an OTA based phase shifter with two modulated stages and two fixed phase shift stages. This looks like a pretty interesting project. Looks like you can fit this in a B sized box but there doesn’t seem to be enough room…
Here’s a Wah probe work alike. Thought this would be a fun build. Someone gave it a good review over at DIYStompboxes so I etched up two boards. just got the parts in the mail and soldered the last parts into the board last night. Here’s a picture of the populated board. This still needs…
I found some good information on trimming the N570 to help remove unwanted distortion. The chip contains to two identical sections which are mirrored on either side. Pin 3 and 14 provide an input for a control voltage for the gain cells. Pin 8 and 9 provide a distortion trim fro the gain cells. Not…
This is the Tremolo-Matic X from Stompboxology. I’m in the process of building this for “Jonny” who I met at the last DIY Swap meet. He gave me this box to put it in.This project is coming together nicely.
Here’s an Ugly Face I built. I used PnP for the design on top. The transfer was a imperfect. But mostly worked. I’d really like to find a reliable toner transfer that works on these metal boxes.
Here’s the current projects. Two Echo Base and two Casualty 4 Phaser shifters.
