Hi Rob,
why 2 led´s?
Sounds cool 

[deadastronaut]

hi maik, it was an old 3 knobber box, i like to use leds for spare holes
it acts like a pilot light too...

I know I'm a strange guy, but I find drawing PCBs about as much fun as building effects or playing guitar, so here's one, well two actually, for the Big B*****d. One small and one big b*****d

I'm not however an etching guy, so it's still unverified. If someone etches I'd love to have one if there'd be any extras you don't need

[deadastronaut]

@pelle, nice job man...yeah im strange in that way too, i get a kick out of converting schematics to all sorts these
days..i do more of that than actual building...

nice one, what prog are you using for them?..

[Perrow]

nice one, what prog are you using for them?..

diylc 2.0.1 Beta

[deadastronaut]

ahh ok...yep i have that too, just never tried doing a pcb on it,

i also downloaded express pcb...got to get used to that one....

Tried, couldn't. Though multi layer does potentially solve a lot of problems

But as long as I just post designs here I think I'm quite safe just using diylc. I've considered the possibility to draw double sided designs, but I figure there'd never be anyone etching them for me so I stick with just the one side.

ps. I like them curved traces, does that show?

[deadastronaut]

curvy curvy..yeah i noticed. should try drawing women...

yeah i wouldnt be arsed to do double sided either..

keep it simple eh!..

[Perrow]

curvy curvy..yeah i noticed. should try drawing women...

I get to excited drawing women for my drawings to be anything to be excited about

no i saw it ages ago, i dont think scruffie ever built it though!...you'll have to ask scruffie on that man...

easy enough to bread though!..

[askwho69]

ohh hahaha ok!  i wont bother to try because iateallthe bread hehehe! by the way this is very interesting LM386 proj . . .http://users.skynet.be/emma.creations/electro/documents/pititamp.pdf

le' 386....

i cant read french!.......

[askwho69]

heheh me neither by the way never mind that link im hi jacking robs thread if this continues

I did breadboard it... but I really can't remember what it was like, I do remember I intended to change the input buffer to a gain stage instead but didn't it was pretty heavy though, tonestack worked nice and that 22uF cap off pin 1 was very important I seem to remember for high gain and no oscillation.

I'd do it differently now probably, but I got bored of the limitations of the 386 Chip and always fighting that horrible decay.

[askwho69]

oohh here you are scuff! hehehe its ok rob made this thing(386) tamed though
