Carbon Black

[Nostradoomus]

Decked out with silly expensive components for your pleasure!

Not sure about those knobs just yet.

 

[Harry Klippton]

I love those trapezoidal boxes. Bought one a couple months ago but I haven't filled it yet. Looks great

Looks great

 

[mdc]

Love it - looks a++

 

[caiofilipini]

Very cool!

Spikey! It kinda screams out for chickenheads but they might be a bit large. You could try the little round Davies 1400 knobs with the pointer.

How does it sound?

 

[Nostradoomus]

It sounds fantastic...not quite a real tonebender but probably the best silicon style I’ve tried.

 

[HamishR]

Ok, I have to try it. I'd been putting it off but I like a good fuzz. Pedal.

That looks sharp! This is one of my favorite fuzz circuits so far.

AmplifiedParts has mini chickenheads, they're about 0.9" diameter. I just bought a set for an upcoming project.

I would 100% agree with this. I think the only TB-style pedal I like more is my yellow hybrid.
I built one on vero a few months ago and liked it so much I built a handful more for some friends.

Did you use carbon comps or are those the molded metal that look like carbon comps? The red electrolytics also look very

 

[Nostradoomus]

They’re carbon comp.

 

[caiofilipini]

They’re carbon comp.

Any specific brand of carbon comps you'd recommend?

 

[Nostradoomus]

Not even sure what these are, I bought them as a test to see the differences between pricier components and the regular ones I buy (regular components sound the same, and less noisy)

Can’t say I recommend using them unless you are marketing to people from The Gear Page.

@Nostradoomus where do you get the ribbon cable connecting the breakout board?

 

[Nostradoomus]

DigiKey/Mouser. It’s 3M 8124/04 100.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Bitchen!

SB also has mini chicken head knobs.

Guess I'll have to breadboard one to find out why.

I’ve got a spare PCB waiting for your mods

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Maybe I'll try germanium transistors... oh wait, nevermind.

You forgot the Tropical Fish capacitors.
