Pictures!

Hey, thanks a lot Govmnt_Lacky!
I water sanded it with 80,220,240 sand paper, and the graphics is made with adhesive decal inkjet paper: this one!

I have no problem complimenting good looking work!
It looks like you sanded it with a higher grit than 240. I like the look of the "grain" in the metal a lot.

Looks like a Madbean Board? Black PCB looks angry.

Here's a silvery fuzzery one from me.

Very nice, John!

May I ask where you got those snazzy knobs?

[John Lyons]

I got them from a friend who got them from a surplus shop.

Mouser has them, I just bought some recently:

Ah, thanks guys. I'm rehousing an old Green Sovtek Muff to be more pedalboard friendly. Plus it was broken. :p: Anyway, it was missing a two of it's knobs, but those look a lot like the originals! I'll see if the owner wants them.

I tinkered around with madbeans Chunk Chunk layout. Maybe someone wants to use this:

Madbean Chunk Chunk (Dr. Boogie) with voltage doubler

http://forum.musikding.de/cpg/albums/userpics/24316/chunkchunkx4.pdf

- to be able to use 3 Pin PCB connectors for each pot. I moved the holes away from the caps. But you can't use 12 pin connectors because I separated the holes to 3 pin groups (I hope you understand what I mean with my hypersupermega english).
- C20 has now 5mm contact spacing like C14.
- voltage doubler added (part list: http://forum.musikding.de/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=2792&fullsize=1)

Hi John,

Is that an etch, or some kind of plate? (and if it's a plate, how?)

Either way, it looks fantastic. I think my favourite of yours so far.

@darron
is that LED really that big it looks like?

@darron
is that LED really that big it looks like?

...or is the enclosure really tiny?

it's a 10mm led + bezel. i like them because they are really easy to see and look like an amp jewel

Yes, It's a plate...and and etch, same process as with circuits boards

wow where did you get those? I want to make a hal9000 looking pedal and that would be perfect.

edit: I forgot they have these at radio shack, and I think I also saw them at fry's from the linrose brand. I am not sure if I have seen the bezels before though.

wow that is really awesome! how does it sound at 18v? did you try it at 9v too?

[tuckster]

Right now it runs on 9v because of the lack of shielded wire. There is still a pin for the 9V like it is in the original layout. Just need to replug it to the doubler after using shielded wire for the in and output.

I love your use of interconnects it makes the build look really pro! I used shielded wire on mine, but apparently I didn't hook it up right because I didn't ground the sleeve. but I don't have any noise issues so I just left it the way it is.

This thread keeps going better and better... John, tuckster, darron, eniacmike, ShortScaleMike, Lazerphea, etc... your builds looks great, guys, congratulations!!

Here's one from me, it's an optical compressor with a "colour" control that boosts bass and treble to get more clarity... Crystal Clear!





Regards,

[Labaris]

I will build that one for me 

With some tweaks of course 

Great build buddy
