use a hole saw in the appropriate sixe....
Wood would be EZ, metal...dunno...never tried cause I feared it catching as it came through one side of the hole, thick metal still on the other side [enough to make it hard to keep going with the bit/knock the rest out, I avoided this task when tube amp chassis building by paralleling two lipped edge metal sheets/spanning the sockets between these for exl. cooling and nice EZ/quick/sturdy [enough for my R'n R] mount.

use a drill press...go slow...lubricate....

rectanle or square...use a drill bit to get the corners, hacksaw and file for straight lines...I suppose not too bad, but I don't know about the corners drilled letting a hacksaw blade width begin.
Wood grain is still my favorite color !!!

version 3.0 ...new gain control, new "fat" control

...

You had to go and do this didn't you!

NICE!!

NICE!!

i figure we should have at least 46 permutations of this circuit by next weekend...

sound clips of v3.0??

bean · November 03, 2006, 11:21:25 PM

Seriously, I have all the parts I need to build this but I think I might wait until 2007 until the final version comes in.

each one is good for different things...as an "all-arounder", go for V2....the 3.0 version cghanges the gain staging somewhat to compensate for volume loss at the "fat" stage...

p.s....sorry...i like "tweaking" things for different needs i have....

Hey Andy, please stop. I didn't have the chance to build the 1.0 version, and you're at the 3.0

. If everything goes alright, I will build mine in this week.

ah, hell...did you see the versions posted by the other guys ?!?!?!

Marcos - Munky · November 04, 2006, 12:55:19 AM

Yeah, I saw them. But I want the original first

.

ramblin · November 04, 2006, 02:14:23 AM

I will start with sorry but I just need to be shure.
I only have handfull of pnp trannies.
So all I have to do is change the ground and 9v and change the 47uf around.
Thanks fine people of stompbox land.

Hey guys.
I thought I'd throw together a dual board for this awesome sounding circuit.
The idea is to use one CP to get the tones showcased in this thread and the second CP circuit as a boost/lead/OD/crunch thing. I set up a pair of DPDT's (with Milennium2N bypass circuits) for my original attempt at V1 - this layout will be MUCH more compact...so I'm going to rebuild it. I also brought the trimmers outside because there are a lot of awesome tones through the sweep - would be nice to have access to them. I'll probably build this rendition of the CP next weekend. If anyone beats me to it, let me know how it works. I took Andrew's 'postage stamp' layout and rotated it 90degrees - then I made the second circuit a mirror image - should put all the I/O in the 'right' place.

One of the two filter caps can be eliminated [and work the same if the one left is doubled in UF Value]
And only one of the RPProtection diode [4001] is needed.
One cap/diode is needed for filter and RPProtection.

mydementia · November 04, 2006, 11:22:46 AM

Thanks Pete - I was in the 'two circuits' mindset...so we could just change C1 to 100uF and elminate C4 and D2...cool...

Marcos - Munky · November 04, 2006, 06:14:54 PM

Shounld the 2nd transistor be reversed?

mydementia · November 05, 2006, 09:34:34 AM

Good eye Marcos - this is one of those things I would have realized upon building.
I updated the images above.
Thanks again for your feedback...looking forward to building this one.

Ooooo.... I just put in a pair of Ge diodes (to ground) on the output of a single CP - VERY NICE!!!! Might build in a switching option to my layout.

There is a schem I posted somewhere in the thread. Instead of a switch I suggest a pot in series with the Ge diodes. This way the effect of the diodes can be changed smoothly.

Awesome idea mac...
I've updated my layout with a switchable Ge diode pair and an optional 'Depth' control (for the Diodes). Now I'm REALLY ready to build this thing!!
Here are the files...let me know if anyone tries it this week (I won't have time to make PCB's until next weekend...doing another SansAmp for a friend...).

I added a pair of Milennium2N boards above the CPv2 board...I like an 'all-in-one' solution...
Here's the M2N ref I used:

Interesting!
I kinda went the other way and ran them into each other.
