Sushi box SuperSonic WIP

Yeah definitely don't do that. I would advise keeping inputs and outputs as separate as possible and shielding them. The same goes for the FX loop jacks. Most amp builders will tell you to use shielded wire for gain pot connections as well as that's going to be one of the more sensitive signals.

shielding theI/Os is exactly what I was thinking, but I didn’t know about the gain pots… good call that one would have gotten past me .. thanks again!

Got the power and grounds ran, slowly sneaking up on it.

….just a little bit more…. Still waiting on some shielded wire but there is plenty to get done before I can start on that anyways

Seems like a good time to (carefully) check your voltages

The dedicated power supply should be here next week. I won’t lie I’m still scared of high voltage.

As well you should be. Don't let your fear stop you from trying, but let your fear stop you from being careless.

What should the HV being this one 300+?

What should the HV being this one 300+?

Yeah trying to remember where this one was set. I think it should be between 300 and 350.

I know this thing is a power hog, I have a 9v 2A supply coming, but would a 9v 1.7A be enough to test voltage without the tubes.. I think it would, correct?

9V 1.7A is enough with the tubes as well, pretty sure that's what I used on mine.

this looks about right?

Awesome looking build so far! What happened to the Supersonic board on the C2CE site? Was just showing my cousin all of the projects offered while we had thanksgiving dinner, and right after I mentioned that one I realized it wasn’t available anymore.

Don’t quote me on it but I want to say I was reading some where he was revising the project. There is a possibility that I completely imagined that.

You are right

Post in thread 'C2C Electronics Summer Break'

Sep 1, 2024

Did the Supersonic also take a summer break?

Supersonic is slated for a redesign to make it easier to build and easier to use. It's going to be shedding some features that aren't really useful (like the FX loop) and probably getting a smaller enclosure. I don't know exactly when it will be ready, but I will of course keep everyone posted.

Yup, looks great. Should drop a little with the tubes installed.

As mentioned below Supersonic was sidelined pending a redesign. I decided it was too big, too expensive, and too hard to build. I'm trying to pull it down to three tubes and stick it in a 1590XX. Don't know when it will happen as I have other things on my to-do list, but it will happen.

I think you should make it more rack friendly … I know, I know, this wasn’t the best idea ,but I’m to dump to know any better.

 

[Paradox916]

I don’t think you can use a higher quality of shielded wire Actual Mil-Spec (that term gets thrown around a lot) aerospace grade M27500 . This is what I will use for all the I/Os and gain pots.

 

[Paradox916]

Sooo much wiring…. It’s getting a little messy in there but can’t be helped….and still a ways to go. Trying to keep all the shielding grounds localized as much as possible, the 9mm pot grounded standoff holes definitely came in to play on that.

This is the coolest build I've seen in ages. It has a bit of an 80's/90's Dean Markley vibe going too and I think the hand lettered aspect looks WAY cooler than a faceplate. Well played!
