Why I Don't Post Many Layouts

[soulsonic]

I finished up one of my Shizzle pedals today and I realized why I don't post many layouts here.....
Because it's impossible for me to do a layout drawing of this:


Or this:

So, here's a layout for the Shizzle fuzz... in photo form!

I'm going to post a full build report on this beast later this weekend at http://www.illuminist.tk - so check it out for the full story on this circuit.
Sound clips are coming... oh yes they will be.

Haha, i understand.

I see you used some Mallory caps there, or am i wrong? If that's the case, do you think it make a difference soundwise?

I'm pretty sure the big 470nF caps are made by Cornell-Dubilier. They are the same sort of structure as the Mallory 150. It's a wrapped polyester style commonly referred to as PET. They are my favorite cap for most things. I've noticed that brand doesn't even really matter, as long as they are the PET style, then they have the sound I like. I did several comparisons between this style and Orange Drops in different tube amps, and I came to the conclusion that the Polyesters like the 150s sound nicer to me, so I try to stick them wherever I can get them to fit.

Cool, sounds like it's worth a try..

I like it !  bit of tagboard, bit of perf/stripboard "hanging components of babylon" !!!

This is what my builds look like, I love the DIY look, looks like art to my eyes.  Does it work    What's a shizzle anyway ?

I've been saying this for years. Great to have backup! :-)

Wow!  You shouldn't have problems with anyone trying to clone that.
