Help tracing out a mini Q-tron!

sir_modulus · July 10, 2005, 10:48:44 AM

Hey all,

I just decided to finally begin tracing out my mini q-tron. I'll take shots of the front/back of the board this afternoon. I was wondering what I should do after that?

Cheers,

Nish

Do you have a scanner?

If you scan the back of the board, then trace over the pic using a vector based graphics program like MS visio, power point, fireworks MX etc
Mark all the diff components and their values on the picture of component side of board and mark offboard connections.
You can then use the photos of the top of the board to make a layout, from there you can draw a schematic. Simply flip horizontally the traced out copepr side of board and its ready for PnP use.

I wouldnt mind the scans and pics myself for the collection

It is a method suggesed by RG. Doesnt it take diamond to scratch glass anyway? I am sure if you are gentle it will be fine.

Pardon me for breathing, but was there not some sort of general agreement that folks would not do this to current EH PRODUCTS?

I'm sorry stephan...I wasn't aware of this. I have removed the pictures until further notice. If someone could alert me further on the matter (as to wether this is allowed or not), that would be great.

I was not aware of that at all.......I completely forgot the Q-tron was a relatively new design aswell.....

Maybe we all need to be alerted about this. Isn't the Big Muff Pi still current? And I wonder why Boss, Ibanez, MXR, and countless others are not under the same agreement...

I wonder the same thing. It may just be puretubes pedals.......You have to respect that however, as he will have signed some sort of non-disclosure agreement and he could be found in breach if he is found to be posting on a forum that contributes to "clones" of these pedals.

Anyone know about this stuff for sure?

Sorry....

:oops:

For anything and everything that goes Bump in the night!

spudulike · July 11, 2005, 06:39:46 AM

AFAIK the only sacred cows here are ZVex schems and EH schems that puretube had input to (ie the tube stuff ?)

Would like to see the tracing results myself though :twisted:

sir_modulus · July 11, 2005, 09:54:31 AM

so...I continue?
