Title: Recognizer Mid-Boost
Post by: Hanzo on December 10, 2018, 11:16:41 PM
For my second build (first one here https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=121359.msg1140401#msg1140401 (https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=121359.msg1140401#msg1140401)) I wanted to make my own PCB.  To my surprise, everything works and it sounds great.  I thought I'd share the project file here for both feedback and for others to use.  https://easyeda.com/Hanzo/ts-adam

A few notes about the build
- Obviously this is a TS-9 variant.  After the PCB was printed I chose to populate it with different values than I called out on the schematic.  The problem with this is a couple of the caps end up not fitting perfectly (like notice C3 in the upper right).
- Tone knob is backwards
- I used alpha PCB mount pots and had to bend the legs in slightly for them to fit in the landings.
- I chose 2.5" initially for the PCB arbitrarily, thinking I was just going to dork around trying to learn the software.  Before I knew it I was ordering them to be printed and finding whatever chassis would work.
- I bought an Aion Stratus board as a guide for how to layout the PCB efficiently.

Please let me know if you see any improvements I should make before I start using this thing live, or perhaps for version 2.

Thanks

Tron?

Also, call your tone knob "Filter" and it's no longer backwards.

I love that idea

That is one sexy oscilloscope! I wish mine was portable, which it is if tour extension cord is long enough and you are willing to carry a 27kg behemoth around...

But yeah, your build looks great! Nice n clean.
It seems giggable, atleast in my eyes. But then again, i gig with this:

Good ventilation.  Wouldn't want anything to overheat.  :icon_mrgreen:

Has signal generator built in too!

The fuzz that is in the breadboard box described in my post above, also has build in a signal generator ic, but its more like a ringmod fuzz. Your sigal generator probably has better engineering use though!
