Building the Uglyface PCB

[telebiker]

I decided to verify the PCB without LFO firstly, and found that sensivity pot was not working. I used recommended components (JRC386D, NSL-32). Firstly I replaced NSL-32 to the LED/LDR pair and saw that the LED was changing its brightness, but the sound still was not affected by the sensivity pot. I replaced JRC386D with another one and it worked. For the sake of interest I tried another NSL-32 and it was not working again.

Probably I had malfunctioning NSL-32s (common problem AFAIK). And probably I burnt JRC386D or it was bad too. I used GL5528 and a yellow diffused LED as an opto and it worked well.

Still investigating LFO issues.

I had received some requests to restock this board, so it's now back in stock.

Also, if you ever wanted to build a clone of the Gojira FX Mangler, you can use this same PCB. That's because the Mangler was built using the PCB I designed. I guess they got tired of paying for them after the first handful, so then they made an exact copy of the board and put their name on it. Pretty funny!
