When are you making the next run of Black Eye boards? I had issues trying to get the ribbon cable soldered on and had 2 pads, the in and out lines, and part of the trace for input come off the board. Just so I know when to order new.


Schlub moments like this keeps you guys in business:cry:
 
I have another batch on order, they ahould be here in a week or so. I'll order a few more this time so they don't run out as fast. Also if you want to post a pic of your board I can show you where those pads connect if you want to try jumpering wires.

You wouldn’t mind letting us know when the boards are in, would you?
 
red arrow is the trace peeling off, the lower solder blob is the copper itself curling. the blue is just missing the pad from 1 side, I didn't see the pads vanish in to the solder sucker. I only found them gone when I tried using a section of pin headers instead of this flimsy 28ga ribbon cable I had laying about instead of waiting for a package from LMS or Stompbox >< I only touch the iron for like 10~20secs max, 60watt with a fine chisel tip. If ya can salvage it let me know, I just hope I can get the expensive parts like the mosfet, sockets and 630v caps back w/o implosion. I've had enough of a headache already BEFORE the thing delaminated on me, 1st ordered the wrong tube sockets, half the big caps and I couldn't find a lead spacing choice for the inductor when I browsed mouser for missing resistors and film caps :mad: Really this sucker is enough to punch a hole in a marshall stack ya chuck it hard! Shame I bet you already took a vacay, otherwise just come up to WD and bounce the board off my noggin when I'm at work :p

I looked at the red/blue images in the build doc, guessing that running a wire from the input pin, 1 next to the square pad that lost it's trace , to the lead/solder tent of the 100k resistor between the 1 tube socket and the 250v cap, straight to the right from the letters IJ on my arrows pic, was the attempted work around? what I'll try for now just waiting on the proper inductor to arrive. also guessing I may have to run a wire from the O pin over to the closer pin of the 10k by the pair of 630v caps at the corner of the board IF what I've done is NOT quite the complete circuit. I'll have this 1 as a pedal for now but I will get 1 or 2 more boards for mini amp clones of like a champ or marshall when you have stock 😉

those projects also not being on the floor will also get toggle instead of stomp switches.

the red line is the connection I made, the blue line is my 2ndary if I have no output signal or is that wrong?

Sorry it took me forever to get back to you on this, but it looks like you got a handle on it. You're correct that you don't really need the pad on the other side of the output, but you're sport on for the jumper for the input trace.

thanks, I just wanted some clarification for the next person that, hopefully not, repeats a similar blunder. I'm still looking forward to buying 1-2 more boards this or Space Heater. I have 2 diff SS amp boards coming the 10watt and this AUS shop had 60watters that have the pads to be fed from an XLR jack. now if I can locate a cheapish 25vac transformer for the 2nd board...

Enclosures are on the way to verify Space Heater so I hope to have that available this week, then I also have my "spite project", boards are being delivered for that one today so I'd like to have that available this week as well. It will be the same form factor as Space Heater, but with a different tube.

Don't you mean "extra special mojo" project?

The more you reference spite the more I want to build it. I might actually be a sith lord...
