Univox superfuzz VERO layout?

[rove]

Can't edit my previous post, but I think it is apparent that my fuzz knob is wired in backwards still 
thanks for the pix and ideas!!!

I just rewired the fuzz pot to go in the right direction and went ahead and added a 5k starve pot, which really does sound great and add more to the versatility of the effect.  Would you mind explaining the way you rewired the switch into a knob? what value pot, for example.  I think that a knob to go from one extreme to the other would be far more useful (and thus used) than the current switch, though I had considered using a stompswith to go from one to the other...
meanwhile I'll see if I can't dig up the mod you did somewhere on the forum.
Again, I am super happy with this pedal thanks for sharing the layout.

Ok, a little research yielded the following info:
placing a 50k pot between the .1 cap to ground and ground wired as a variable resistor will give the blend between the notch mode and full mode.
Thanks Slacker and Mark Hammer.
I have implemented this and it works except I need to use a linear pot as the log  I used for test purposes bunches a lot of the change at one end, as one would expect.

does anyone know why unicords schematics dont show polarized caps?

hi guys, sorry to shock a zombie back to life, but any chance some kind soul may be able to re-up the vero layout for this beast?
thanks!!

[slacker]

It's in my gallery, if you follow the layout gallery link and then search for slacker you should find it. I would post a link but I can't figure out how to do that using tapatalk.

I think I may help you - here's what I have done some times ago for my daughter which wanted a SuperFuzz, and it works +++ :













Sorry - some comments are in French !

A+!

You solder the components on top of the copper tracing side? I've never seen anyone do that before. Any particular reason?

Well, I felt it was more easy to avoid placement errors, as the circuit is let flat on the table and in direct correspondence with the layout drawing... Nonetheless I use the classic method also, which is more easy to solder.

A+!

slacker,

1 - your layout is more compact than the one I used +++

2 - which software you used to design this layout ? It seems even better than DIY Layout Creator...

Thanks & A+!

[pinkjimiphoton]

again,. thanks slacker! looks good!!

[slacker]

2 - which software you used to design this layout ? It seems even better than DIY Layout Creator...

I just use a graphics program, I have a large image of the veroboard and the components are in a gif image with a transparent background. To make the layouts you just copy and paste the components on to the veroboard image.

Here's the images if you want to give it a try.

I use the same method as Slacker, however I use the templates from Dragonfly in the gallery:

Thanks slacker and cab42,

In fact, what you use is purely "manual drawing" method - I though you were using a dedicated software...

Nonetheless good idea, applicable on word, publisher, powerpoint or so, I presume.

A+!

I use Paint for the task. Lightweight, easy to use and available on any Windows PC (even at work ) . 

Last week I made my first schematic from scratch using the same approach with symbol templates I found here and on GGG.

Ah, OK - even simpler, then ! Thanks for the tip...
