    First Time PCB Design - Help Request

    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).

    First Time PCB Design - Help Request

    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!

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Chorus You Have Owned , Played or Heard?

    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.

    Resistor wattage and lead spacing

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

    New shop space - a WIP

    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...

    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.

    Yeah, I like it a lot. I've got some Spragues to replace the Chicago Elec. caps in there. Plus a couple orange drops. Just haven't gotten around to it.

    New shop space - a WIP

    Today was final hookup day. With the last bit of $$ I had on my Amazon GC (plus some of my money) I upgraded the main PC monitor to a 27" curved one, with 240Hz refresh rate. Very pleased with it so far. I will probably replace the right one with the same when funds allow next year. Got the...

    Most everything has been put away and the worktable is finally clear. This is temporary until I build the actual big arsed table next month. Guitars and basses in their spot. I found this cool table on Market place. Butcher block with metal legs priced at basically cost for what it would...

    Madbean Harbinger 1.5 9v or 18v?

    You'll want to commit to building one version or the other. It's not designed to switch between two power options on the fly. You would want to remove D3 to change it from a 9v to 18v operation. Plus, you would need two DC jacks since they connect at different parts of the circuit. It's just...

    Here are some things I bought with the Amazon gift card I received. Two new Akro-Mills storage bins for PCBs. Of course, my entire PCB line up barely equals @Robert's overdrive selection! More Akro storage bins. They are expensive, but worth it, I guess. Lots of organization to do. And, a...

    Madbean Harbinger 1.5 9v or 18v?

    The overall tone is exactly the same. Having built both versions, the only difference is that the 9v charge pump version seemed to have a more narrow range in tweaking the trimmers for the LFO. IOW, it took me a couple extra minutes to dial it in. You can email me or PM me yours and I'll get...

    Madbean Harbinger 1.5 9v or 18v?

    9v with charge pump or 18v without produces comparable results. It's really what is the more conventional usage for you. If your power supply has a spare 18v tap then go with that.
