PPCB Ginormous

[ICTRock]

I've soured on the hater contest so let's switch gears and post an inventory-only build over here just to fuck with them.
I happened to order the pcb back on PPCB's b-day and everything else got pulled from inventory I had lying around this morning.

I went with a DAM Meathead Dark and I started by pulling out a BC182L (Q2 in the meathead) and measuring hfe on the Atlas. I then went over to my bag of Motorola 2N3904 and found one that matched and another that came in at 75% of it for Q1. I chose not to use the BC182L because the pinout is janky. The only part I didn't have was a 1/4 watt 120K resistor. I had it in 1/8 watt and since I was using 1/8 watt for the 1K gain resistor to avoid standing the resistor on end I felt it was an OK sub all things considered.



As I was signing the bottom plate, I told my youngest (13 F) that I needed a name for it and she chose "Ass Wrecker" and so it is.

You’re gonna need a bigger knob for that. Nice build and you’ll get no hate from me here

 

[ICTRock]

So Buddy needs an ass wrecker to come with a more grande knob ... noted

so we talking something tasteful like a Fairchild chicken head or something played out like the Sovteks or something stupid like the ridiculously oversized Davies 1110?

For 1-knobbers, a chicken head.

You’ve become a hater hater, aka a meta-hater!

Yes!

I’ve had some burritos for which that would be an appropriate name.

I've got a ridiculously large one salvaged from a BBQ that was being thrown out — 1590N1 is too small for it.

Other salvage possibilities include washers/dryers/jacuzzi-controls/etc...

I swapped it out just for Buddy since I had one of these (https://lovemyswitches.com/fairchil...73ob-7MgkzPlAq981-2CaQUl7vj9EpHV_NRXVzREQCp39) in the spare knob drawer. Ironically I had no regular chicken head knobs in black that weren't for spline shaft.

Your favorite hater's favorite hater. Love me a 1 knobber. This one kicks ass. Im planning one for my contest submission.

Looks great.

That wiring like

The great thing about the hater contest is that it absorbs all negativity. It is a supermassive black hole, and it's event horizon begins at "meh".

I would say something like "behold" but like...you can't...really...see...black...eh...

Hmm. Got a retool this one.

I dug up a whole baggie of 0R yesterday ... I was sorely tempted to build the two sticks of doom later today to use two more but I lack the 47u power filter cap. I'm sure I have some 100u floating around though. after that would start getting into rougher territory because I'm lacking supplies for labeling pedals that have more than one knob

General Internet-Forum Rules apply:

No pic = no knob-swapout for BtR.

I love how Ass Wrecker has become a fashion plate toy for you little girls. I'll also throw in a shot of the island of misfit knobs.
