Zombie chorus with anti tick mod 1590b layout?..

Haven't decided on which to build (ordered both 4046s and 4047s so might build both) but curlieness we should have and curliness we have 

Small Clone, not sure if it's better than tonepads layout, but it is indeed curlier.



Zombie Chorus, slightly bigger than the previously posted and thus flattened most of the resistors (just two pesky ones on the left hand side that'll be slightly squeezed).  Curly? Check!



Both pretty unverified, so look them over before using (both follow their "originals" well enough layout wise to be quite easy to check).

curly coolness...i'm defo going the tonepad route!..

i have a clock on my wall already...

Remembered (what I didn't half past midnight) that I actually (in my opinion) improved the tonepad layout by adjusting most capacitor pin spacings to suit box style caps. There's just one right under the MN3007 that's still three grid spaces apart.

Have you found an explanation of the trimmer? I know it's used as a voltage divider, but how to set it? Nevermind, found it: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=85666.5

i'll have to find some 123k's.. .

Doh, looked at it long and found two I'd missed. I'll fix, those too.

[deadastronaut]

i know i know, its those late nights...

[Perrow]

Late nights, yeah, small kids, full time work, girlfriend and a hobby, no wonder I never get time to learn to play the guitar 

Gave the BOM a look through this time, couldn't find anything odd (doesn't mean there isn't any ).

[deadastronaut]

hmmmm just printed out the tonepad pcb....it'll go in a 1590b but with an uncomfortable squeeze!...hmmmm...very tight once dc/jacks are in...

shame the pcb size wasn't a bit smaller , length wise.....hmmmm....


the zombie is a cool size...perfect in fact!...hmmmm.....mother @#$%ing ticks..
this was my original zombie, no noticable ticking...rg's layout, and marks tick fix..

@mark: how 'isolated' does the 4046  have to be in the zombie?..is fretburners layout isolated enough in your opinion? cheers rob.

I've bought parts for both 

Sadly by the time I got to the checkout Tayda had only one 1590B left (wanted to order three this time).Well, well, they say they'll get more by the end of the month. Bought 10 pc 3007 off ebay for 8 USD, shipping included, I count on people close to me wanting choruses after they'd tried mine

And, no d'Astro, I won't spend the hours needed to squeeze down the Tonepad layout a bit lenghtwise (at least not until my parts arrived and I start to wonder how the h*ll I'll get it to fit).

[deadastronaut]

oh come on....get ya squiggly skills on it!!....

yeah i got 10 of each in case! ...2 of my mates want 1 each already...the @#$%ers...fitting is gonna be tight

hmmm good idea!...

OK.



I give you two rows, anything more you'll have to fix yourself 

ps. This is even more unverified than the previous layouts.

[deadastronaut]

brilliant...2 rows  is a lot when you have none spare!!!....nice one pelle, i owe you a beer!..

i'll check it over later ok...

I got bored on my commute home.

I'll take that beer next time I'm in London. You're quite correct, two rows can be a lot when space is tight (a certain 1590A build comes to mind ).

You've got treated to a bunch of (semi) standing resistors and a squeezed el-cap or two, but then again you get nothing for free (I just got the dual meaning of that statement, never thought about it before), this time less ended up costing you too.

[deadastronaut]

okey dokey...got my 4046's...still waiting on other stuff!..

i'll double check your pcb later with original ok...4 eyes better than 2 etc...

got to go do sh*t today...fixing pc for a dumbass..

catch ya later..

edit , just wanted this link as a reference..

[deadastronaut]

had a brief look over it looks ok to my eyes......whats the deal with the pads under the trim?...

btw this'll be ok with 072's right?

[fretzburner]

I think that's for different types of trimmers.
