3 Build Reports - Small Clone, Russian Big Muff, Bad Stone

[lowstar]

hi everybody,
3 more finished builds. 
they all fired up right away, my error rate has dwindled to zero since i went from vero to pcb´s.
the small clone was done using the tonepad layout. no probs. used reverse pot for rate, included depth pot. sounds nice.
the russian muff, same thing. i still have to box it up though to see how it sounds with bass (only have a guitar in my lab)
the bad stone, interesting build. first i thought it was not working right cause there was a volume drop when engaged, but effect itself works perfectly and sounds good, so i searched on this forum and found out that this seems to be inherent in the design. i tried the workaround with changing the resistor of the first op-amp, but found that it would only get close to unity gain, but not all the way, and distortion would be introduced, so i popped the original 4k7 back in. i think when i box it up, i´ll use a linear booster stage after the circuit to compensate. for the rate pot, i found a 1mlog poti gave nice distribution if i reversed the connexions. btw, i used all "original" values for the ic´s, lm324, 4009 and 4x4558 (some people had trouble geting the lfo to work). the trannie i used was 5088, and i also used the tant cap.

thanks to everybody that provides these layouts and useful info on this board.

on to the neutron, brass blaster and probably the dimension c from topopiccione !

cheers,

EDIT: make that 4 - i forgot i did the big cheese too ! (i´m kinda loosing track lately)
this one´s already boxed up. i like it very much on guitar, for bass it´s only useable in the "frankenstein" position imho, giving a very interesting synth tone.

cheers,

Great progress, congrats on the four new boxes.

I am suffering from the same disease right now--I spend all my free time building pedals and can't wait to get to the next one

Yeah, whats this about the bad stone? One of these days the oscillator on mine is going to work, even if I have to make "vigorous technical adjustments" to it
