some new box from N-audio


and simple footswitch for fender bassman

[danielzink]

Nice work Solderman.
You have PM btw!
3 pots should be possible. My phaser has 3 as well and I think it fits. The box is still under way with the mail.

3 pots are easy in a 1590 !



Yes - I cheated and used a "store bought" board....

I dig the look of these pedals Nikolay, they scream rugged, sleek, and professional at the same time.
It looks like a simple decal transfer, but I'm new to all this, care to explain how you got those results?

Holy Cow

[Nikolay]

Dear, Kearns892. The first 3 pedals are made with silkscreen. Second - the simple footswitch is with laser engraving. Simple and verry good looking.


Also thanks for your opinion

Hi, really cool looking. Gets me thinking about the graphical part of my box. By the looks of it, yours is absolutely good enough for Marc Boland or "Ziggy Stardust".
BTW where did you get your hands on the SMD board? Was it populated and ready or kit or what??

Cheers

it looks like a mod board http://store.guitarfetish.com/modboards.html  or something similar, I think there was some discussion on this earlier although I might be mistaken

it's a cool idea for certain

Looks good, sort of like an etch. Assuming you do not have a laser engraving machine yourself: Where did you let this be done?

No, I don't have, it's not cheap
I engrave my stuff in a local small company here in Bulgaria.

Yep, it's a Mod Board delay.

I'm working along the same lines as you Solderman and also Valoosj - working on a "micro" pedalboard. 1590 boxes. I have a SparkleBoost, and this delay. I'm currently working on an EasyDrive and some sort of a phaser in 1590's (we need to keep the "show me your 1590's" thread alive)

I already posted my phaser there in the same way that you can see Solderman's delay here.
Still waiting for the damn box to arrive.

Btw; smd = cheating!

imho: to minimize => smd = smart!

Cake clone with reversed etch.


Guts:


And OVD

That "reverse etch" is beautifull!
How is that done?

Same way as the "normal etch".
But this time I masked those details. Normally mask covers almost whole top, exept those texts and details.
Then I sprayed the top lightly and carefully sanded those details.
I do it this way, if the enclosure has lots of deep dings and scratches. 

If you do those reverse etchings, remember very good ventilation and don't let that box get too hot.
When that aluminum box gets hot, those little hydrogen bubbles ignites when they hit the surface and reacts with air.. Or at least that's what I think happened with that piece of cake enclosure.
Got some pops and flames. It would be cool, if you're not in your own bathroom.

Here is the phase 45 I built my brother for christmas....I metal stamped the letters...and everything on the inside is stock.





And these are by far, my cleanest guts yet. No rats nest.

Ok, This is a bass overdrive designed by this forum's own mnordbye. So first off, I'd just like to thank him. I put this in a plastic enclosure and shielded it with aluminum tape. The right pedal is the gain, so if you press it down, it gets louder....this can be used for a nice vibrato effect. I prefer driving it real hard before, however, that way theres not much of a volume increase and just a increase in distortion. The left pedal is just a SWTC (stupidly wonderful tone control). If you press it down, it cuts out some treble. I don't really like the left pedal and just put it in to use it up. I'm gonna put something different in later, maybe a lil simple octave fuzz. (I think I'll use the pot to turn off and on jfets or something. I ain't too smart at this, but I'll figure it out).

There are two white knobs on the outside. One is volume. The other is something kinda cool. Its a pot hooked up in parrallel with the pot in the right pedal (the gain). The white knob sets the start point for the gain. I can go from low gain to high, from medium to high, from high to just a wee bit higher. This also allows me to just use the pedal like a standard stompbox. If I turn the white knob all the way up, its basically like I have the gain all the way up without pressing it down.

The schematic calls for a body control....I breadboarded, and really couldn't hear any difference with it. So I just used a fix resistor with that. So here are the pics. This inside one is kinda fuzzy, and the reflective foil made it hard to get a good picture. If I flashed its all flashy, and with no flash its dark...sorry bout this.

[Sir_Ian]

Ok, this is the last pedal I'm posting (till I finish the one drying in the garage). Its my green ringer. Really fun pedal, especially when in front of a big muff. I have input cap switching....which I didn't hear too much of a difference...so I'm either going to put in a different cap or, put in another little cicuit and use the switch to turn it on. I was thinking it'd be fun to put a even simpler octave up in front of it and see if I can get two octaves up. I don't know how well it will work in practice...I'm gonna breadboard it first.

The flast hit the switch in this pic just perfect. It'd be sweet if the switch really glowed like a halo as it appears to in the picture.



Not the neatest gut shot....It was looking at how messy this one is that inspired me to do better on the next one (the phase 45 posted previously).

[Renegadrian]

Great pedals!!! The Logitech enclosure would be sweet with a delay circuit, I believe...

This is very cool... you "metal stamped" the letters? please familiarize me with what you mean. Did you take a stamp and do it while the paint was wet? Whatever you did it's pretty cool. Great present.
