Build Report: TS-808

[Also Wik]

Not a needed report but I'm happy with myself. I finally got a build to work, and that build is the TS-808. Used a GGG board and parts from the bear cave. Still have to drill the box, so its hangin' free for now:



Sounds great. Now I get to try and squeeze those 24mm pots into a little hammond box ;_; anyone have any pics of this?

Now its time to build a Bazz Fuss

hmmm, never tried to squeeze the 24mm one's in ... I can get 4 into a B box using 16mm

You'd be better of using the BB size box for what you have anyways as it'll be quite the feet to get the PCB, pots,switch and battery in a B size. I make all my layouts now to fit a B box ( as long as it's a simple circuit that is ) I get the pots and LED in the box, wires attached and labelled, then place velcro on the pots so that the PCB ( or vero in my case ) sits on the velcro. You have to be care that you can bend components down so it'll fit ... here's a pic of a 3 pot distortion:

I use the Zvex method of mounting 5 sideways. I have a paralell universe that has 5 knobs and two DPDT toggles and two footswitches in a B box.

I also have a build in the works that utilises PCB mount pots in the same configuration. The board is a strip designed to be the width of the height of a B box. That way you can fit 5 knobs some switches, 2 footswitches, jacks and a battery in a B size box.

Very cool! ... I try and do them the way I do to fit a lot on my pedal board  ... If I started going sideways I'd create a big mess

I might see what i can round up at the local Home Depot, and save the B box for a one or two knob-job.
