Luxury 763 build

[johnk_10]

I just finished this one today and i like it. i used a Hammond 1590B2 for the enclosure. Probably going to use cream cupcake knobs for the enclosure once they arrive.

Super clean! Love the look of the washer with the lampshade!

That's another killer build.

I really like this new look on your past few pedals — the raw/semi-polished with painted face.


The icing will be those cream knobs — please post pics when they arrive.





Robin, that's that's no lamp-shade, that's a Fresnel lens! Indeedy do it looks right sharp with the washer backing it up; I never would've thought to do that. Stealing that idea from you, John, to go along with all the other thefts.

it was kind of difficult to find a thin stainless steel washer that was exactly 1/4" to fit the fresnels. They also work great for using a washer on the mini switches. the one that i'm using was from Mcmaster-Carr. here's the link to it: https://www.mcmaster.com/94773A710/

If you're not using one of these to cut the corners of your labels, you'll be glad to have one. They do three different radii.

I already have a backlog of utilities I want to buy and here you are, posting more shit I want, damn it man.

Sorry. I know that frustration all too well. I should have known better.

It really does work well, though.

Interesting ground scheme I wish I could see it a little better. This board looks exactly like the Super Stevie I’m working on minus two diodes. How do they compare?

i'll have to try them side by side. besides the amount of diodes, the bass control values are quite a bit different (Super Stevie's is B5K, and the Luxury's is C50K, there also a hi cut cap going into the 2nd stage of the 5532 (Super Stevie is 47nf and the Luxury's is 22nf).

Put mine on the protoboard last night and it’s a nice sounding drive. I’ll have to try the 763 I suppose.

 

[johnk_10]

ok, i just had a chance to compare it with the Super Stevie and found that the luxury-763 is ALOT brighter. The distortions sounds identical but i prefer the Super Stevie since it's treble control is alot more adjustable.

here there are side by side:

Those look great. I’m looking to pay someone per label for my builds if you’re interested lol.

Great find! I can use these on a build I’m doing right now.
