FIG LABS SWAG!
So... anyone got a BoM for the Electric Landlady? And maybe a drill template?
Working on mine now. No BOM, but if you’ve been around here long enough, working from the silkscreen shouldn’t be a problem. As far as drill template, I have been comparing some of the 6 knob ones from past projects and I have decided that I am going to use a modified Wavelord template because the top row of pots are high enough in the box to leave space at the bottom for the footswitch. That may not be necessary though. The only difference is that the rows of pots are spaced 30mm from each other on the y axis. X axis aligns with any of the PPCB 6 knob projects. Good luck finding the ea2-5nu. I ordered the SMD eb2-5nu from mouser. The pin spacing is the same, but I will have to straighten the pins to go through hole.

What are you using for the PIC?

Wellllll, I believe @fig said he had something in the works, but barring that, you can get pic chips with the latest Coda programming (which I think I remember either @fig or @cooder saying that’s what was being used) from deadendfx. I am holding off ordering one because I am not 100% that it truly will work since deadend is using a different relay that I have not looked up the specs for. That and the chip is only $4 so I would end up ordering yet another board that I don’t need😬

Santa @fig does indeed have something in the works. I'm waiting until he gets it sorted before starting mine though :p

It's not a problem, but if someone's already compiled it, that'd save me some work.

I did a quick search and can probably find some in my corner of the globe.
 
Here’s a LOT of info on the pcb I’ve sent out. I encourage at least a quick peek for the schematic.


I have the means inbound to program the PICs..hopefully the process isn’t beyond my reach. I also have some alternative relays if you have trouble sourcing any.

Apologies if I’ve triggered any anxieties :oops:
 
I haven't worked with PICs too much, but in the case of AVRs it's just a matter of sticking the IC in a socket, choosing the firmware bin/hex file, and clicking "Program".

I believe these will work in the place of the EA2-5NU. This is what I use for all of my non-latching relay prototypes.

you were lucky to get that, now only listing is through hole and a waaays out. glad I got the latching relays when Bugg had them in stock.
I want the actual board for a electric landlady...
 
So far I've really liked the captor I got a few weeks ago. While I was impressed with the sounds of the IRs I had used in my DAW, I didn't really like that I can't monitor with them but I can only apply them to a recorded track.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to plug in the cab m later and give some initial thoughts
Wait, whaaat? Why can't you monitor? Are you using the Wall of Sound s/w?
I am able to monitor the IR's in real time using the WOS.

Also, the Captor-X should let you store IR presets on the hardware itself. (I think).
I don't have the Captor X itself but the one built into my Revv Amp and I am able to store like 9 IR presets in the unit.

See? I knew it’d be a challenge.

Good find on the relays.
