Addiction to DipTrace

[JamieJ]

Send help...

I had surgery on my shoulder on Monday after my accident last year and I'm in a sling for two weeks. No guitar and no building. DipTrace has been my savour but now I am addicted.

Ive been trying to combine different circuits in one enclosure and also had a go at designing my own. Here are some of them.

Jan Ray and MXR 6 Band EQ:



Fetzer Valve and Blues Breaker with a blend control and 18v charge pump:



A TS into a Rat:




Any suggestions for any other two circuits that work well together? Just so I can fill my time!

Hey Jamie, I'm glad all went well. Cheers to a speedy comeback!
Fantastical stuff sir!

 

[Dan M]

Rat into Muff!

Or: Green ringer into Rat into mosfet boost… oh wait…seems familiar ((( )))

Good to hear it went well and good to hear you've found a good addiction to deal with things like that...

Bikes aren't dangerous, cars running over cyclists is dangerous. Speedy Recovery!


"JUICED PUMPKIN"
MXR Dist II & EHX BMPOA — supposedly the secret Corgan sauce. I'm not sure which way he allegedly ran the circuits, but you could put in an order switcher...


"RUDE MOOD"
Tube Screamer > Dumble Pre

"GILMORE OIL"
Colorsound Powerboost & one of the following: Ram's Head/Triangle/Cornish P1

"MAYERNAISE"
BD-2 & Klon



SPIN the WHEEL:
Throw some random info into the PedalPCB search engine and see what circuit comes up, do it again for the paired item.

I can't at all help with your addiction, because I've gotten myself similarly addicted. My Instagram is mostly images of my DipTrace boards, with the occasional UV printing design thrown in and sometimes the odd actual pedal.

I can recommend the Greer of Tone combo like the one I built. Awesome dual OD. Might not be to your tastes but I'm also working on a dual Revv circuit, with Sanguine and Tyrian side by side (which is honestly nuts, because I have a triple Revv build physically sitting here on my desk, unfinished).

Lightspeed + anything and you're winning IMO

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Rat <- BD2 : to fatten up the rat.

Also Jamie, how are you doing those diagrams with the pedal inside the enclosure? It looks better than my clumsy way of working out the internal layout

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

The Yauch - superfuzz > phaser(mxr ehx?)

 

[tcpoint]

Sunlion. Fuzz Face and Beano.
Any OD / Dist with a Varioboost.

Duff McRagin'
GK-Pre &/or GK Rails > Ibanez CS-9 (Chorus modded for better bass)

Klon into russian big muff

 

[szukalski]

Broadcast > Barbershop (It's on my to-do)

You are definitely down the Rabbit Hole now! There is no turning back.

Looks like we have the same ideas, the Ray Gun is a lot like the Death Ray Deluxe I just finished. Its a Timmy into a 5-band EQ, with a loop.

@JamieJ are you using the free version of diptrace? What are the limitations on it vs paid?

 

[jimilee]

Rat into more rat with series and parallel outs.

Wow definitely great minds think alike. is that 1590XX Dan?

Yep its the free version but I got in touch with them and they gave me the hobbyist version with extra pins.

Edit: There was only one build that had a huge pin amount. Most DIY stuff is fine but if it’s free it doesn’t hurt to upgrade. Just get in touch with its diptrace through their site.

Neil @Feral Feline - this is the first one for you: MXR Distortion+ into Op Amp Big Muff.
