Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

[Ronan]

One of my bad layouts, in fact I think this is the one I'm using for this comp, well not quite, I tried to draw a copy of this with a pen, but this is what I would have used if I had access to a laser printer, notice the missing fillets on some of the t-pieces, I need to fix that up.



Final assembly Mike? Tomorrow I hope to drill some holes to allow some sort of assembly.

^ That's way better than I'll ever do. I don't have a good brain for making layouts. I'm ridiculously scatterbrained. I don't know how I became a maker(By maker I mean I make everything) since I've always been in 'special' classes in school and I dropped out after the eighth grade. I cant learn what others tell me I have to learn. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, but on my own terms.

Ok, after an unnecessary tangent, but yea, I started on my project the day the contest was announced. I did one build but it didn't work out and this is the second one. not to mention the decimator and golden voice chorus in a 1590a. I have way too much free time

[Ronan]

Well that pic is just the intended design, the actual pcb manifestation that resulted from that is fairly gross, but working solidly.

I have other major weaknesses in building "A Total Package", funny how entering a comp makes me scrutinize my strengths and weaknesses, never even thought about it before, everything was just fine before...

At this point, I don't even know how you guys make these layouts. I have tried with really small circuits and it's never a good turnout. There's some really talented people in this forum for sure.

[pinkjimiphoton]

you guys are doing great.

wanna talk crappy layouts, you should see my veros. the GOOD looking ones NEVER WORK and end up being debugged so much they look like VERY VERY BAD ONES!

but if it sounds good? who cares? imprison it in a metal box for a life sentence, and abuse it til it dies, i say i did

Well said 

[Perrow]

I've got to look it over one more time before etching, but it looks good so far

boy, you know how to keep an a$$h073 in suspense...

Curvey! 

[haveyouseenhim]

Curvey!  

I know, right.  My first thought was  ''mmmm, sexy curves''     I think I need to take a break from stompboxes for a while


EDIT    I will have pictures of my finished entry later today and sound clips+ video in the coming days

Well, I've just completed the layout, I'll etch it tomorrow, build it this week, and hopefully have it boxed week after that.

And no, I've not built forty pedals since the page 1000 comp

That reminds me, I've got a couple of videos in this here thread that I haven't watched yet, at least one of them from you. Now I got to print that layout so I have something to stick under (or over as it is) my UV lamp tomorrow.

[pinkjimiphoton]

well, maybe closer to fifty at this point. a LOT of fuzzface variants lately.

seriously. i need a life..lol

That is a great looking layout! What's the software you're using?

[Ronan]

^ +1. Corel draw perhaps? Makes my layout look like something out of the stone age

[haveyouseenhim]

It's DONE!   This is my shootout entry. I present to you The Frankenstein Pulse Wahwahwahwahwahwah 

A special thanks to Jdansti, Garcho, and Midwayfair for helping out. That's why this forum is great. Even in a competition we come together to help each other. Viva la DIYSB!

I will have video and sound Tuesday or Wednesday.

[midwayfair]

Dude, that's solid! More details!

Is the treadle just the depth or speed, or can it do other things?

Really glad you got your original idea working.

Really glad you got your original idea working.

The treadle works as a pseudo mix control. Forward is dry and back is wet. And it can switch between pulse and regular wah. It consists of the colorsound inductorless wah and the lfo from the shoot the moon. More details will be explained on the video

[Jdansti]

Wow!  Nice job on the build and the original design. Can't wait to hear it!  The small board on the pots is a great idea too!  A definite contender! 

[pakrat]

Really nice! You should be proud of that one.

[garcho]

Bravo! Diggin' this contest!
