I had another batch of boards in hand and ready to go (updated layout) when I realized I left a trace off the PCB. So, I just need to order the revised ones.

Good to know. So, the Donner does not have isolated outputs, I reckon?

It's not gibberish. IMO, there's no reason not to attach every ground point to a pour in both the top and bottom layers (for analog guitar circuits). The only time I don't do this is either I'm using a 4 layer design (meaning only one inner layer has a ground pour) or I'm dealing with a compact...

I solved it!!

A long time ago I had a custom rubber stamp made for a single pass imprint on a 1590B (for a Big Muff project). It wasn't perfect, but really easy to do.

Glad you like it! Is that Stazon ink stamping?

Next up is to get the garage cleaned out so I can start making the work tables. We kinda junked it up in Dec. to get the house ready for all our holiday guests. Only used like $50 of the Lowes gift cards so far! They are burning a hole in my pocket.

I have a pretty decent design worked out for this specifically for bass. Just haven't followed through yet. I'm sure Robert's fits the bill, too.

Yeah, I have some NPN and PNP from CEDist. I've got three builds I'm working on that will use them but I need to test them for gain and leakage first.

Isn't that a 1790? My eyes have convinced me.

Got yourself a custom regulator there. 68v in, voltage divider to provide ~40v to the transistor base, then ~38v out.

Didn't see that. Well, IMO there's nothing wrong in copying a layout as a means to simply learn how to do it. But, you are absolutely right: the files shouldn't be made public in this case (this is why I should read all replies before vomiting out my opinion).

It's a good layout for first time. Impressive, actually. But..I would move the weight pot under the gain pot for a more traditional 4 control layout. Also, align the centers of C1 and the resistors above. Just looks better, IMO. Good job!

I didn't have a CE-2 when I was a gigging bass player but the Whammy on detune mode was used all the time. Sounds glorious live.

Whoops, yeah 7.62mm.

7.5mm for 1/4W is the most common. AFAIK, it's what's used on almost all PedalPCB boards.

A bit of a failure to report: I had a really nice but old Samsung monitor whose CFL lighting had failed. Today I attempted to repair and replace it with LED backlights but I f#cked it up completely. Couldn't get it back together and I scratched the display very badly in the process. Bit bummed...

That neck, tho :love:

When I first got it, it was too bassy. So, I shorted the 18k stopper resistor on the bass control to turn it down further. But, it's really broken in now so I think I can remove that mod. Haven't done anything else to it yet.
