Why using turrent board when veroboard or even PCB take less place in the box ?

Why using turrent board when veroboard or even PCB take less place in the box ? 

You aren't thinking in all 3 dimensions. The turret board actually takes up less space because all the components can be stretched across on a thinner plane instead of standing on a board, which allows more room underneath to mount panel mounted components like pots and such.

and, as mentioned, there is the mojo

I love this (and the movie!)!
I have most Ghibli's on DVD

Sorry for hijacking for just a bit, if you love the studio Ghibli music, there's a guy who's transcribed most of the music from the movies for solo classical guitar.
(in tabs and in notes)

Because I have it. Because it's nice to build from scratch off a schematic point to point.
Because the parts are "mojo" or as I call "big parts".

Wow... turret boards... I didn't even know they existed!

Hi Slacker,

A PCB or torrent board is about 1.3mm thick and no turrets in the way and Op-ams etc. hard to handle on free base.

Hi
Clasic, super . Brings me back to the good old Commodor VIC 64 days. I can hear the blip sound in my ears  Does it sound like a VIC 64??

Awesome job! Can you give us an explanation of the "annoying LED trick"? Sounds like something I want to include in all my builds from now on...

[Fuzz Aldryn]

@ Solderman:Thank yor for you kind words!:) For me it does sound like that. Even more synthish than the MXR Blue Box. Search für the Slacktave MKII here - you should be able to finde some soundclips of it. Though mine does sound a little different due to some minor mods/subs.
@Taylor:Thank you as well!
But no, it's something that's related to the slacktave nature. The LEDs are driven by pin 4 of the 4024 ripple counter. For further details have a look here: http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/slackers-stuff/album170/slacktavemkII.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1

Hey Dave,
That's a nice looking doodad you've designed.
I especially like the font you've chosen.
May I ask where you found it?
The only similar font style that I can find is called Swing-Font-Bold.
But I can't seem to locate a free download anywhere.
Best Regards,
David

Hey Spaz, do a search for "Dymaxion Script", its a free-font I have that looks dead-similar.

[head_spaz]

aChorusofJays,
That's it! THANK YOU!

Now I recognize where I've seen it before.

Hi David,

That's the one.  I had searched for a Chevy Belaire font wanting  something associated with a 50's two-tone car. A few others i found are Hyperspeed, Top Speed Heavy and Top Speed Outline. All are free at  http://www.dafont.com/
