Built a nurse quacky

[Hanglow]

Nice pedal all in all. Got the pcb from GGG. No mods at all. Here's a pic


I put it in with my orange comp, also from GGG. It runs great off a battery but the OC really hates the power supply I use, and the buzz is unbearable, but its quiet with just the Nurse Quacky on  My other comp, a Ross clone, is very quiet with the same power supply. It's a little annoying, but I couldn't see anything wrong with it and like I say it sounds fine with the battery... guess that'll be the only pedal that I'll run off a battery.

The knobs are some horrible  cheapos I have kicking about, I think I'll replace them and will probably stencil on some decals/labels at a later date.

The box is an absolute beast. was an end of line offer from rapid, got a couple more of them. I know it looks a little strange layout, I wanted to keep each effect to half of the box, but with hindsight I should have laid it out better and/or used small pots for the NQ so it would have fitted better. there's always next time

Congrats off a nice filter.
I'm in the process of building one, it's not yet boxed up, but I've tried the cuircit wich sounds really good
I will try to fit mine in a 1590B size box. I redrew the layout to get the size down a bit though.

hi...my build doesn't quake at all...only produced clean sound.
Mind to share the voltage reading at LED, IC and trannie?

maybe the filtering on the PSU is marginal, try hanging a big electtro across the power input (500 mfd or more).

Sorry but I can't help you. My quacker was built for a trade and is sent away. I recived a very nice speaker cab.
