A little slower progress today, had to get the car worked on and some medical stuff, so I just soldered some off-board components and some flyaway leads.

Just checked and my printed copy of the layout is the same as the one online. Here’s yesterday’s progress: I had put in the standoffs before I fit the transformers, and once I did I realized I made a mistake. I put in the standoffs backwards. There are three chamfered holes that match some...

Oh nice thanks for the tip, I’ll print a copy today!

Slapped a few components on the PCBs. I really like the way it’s coming together. I’ve been taking my time with each part, making sure the lead bends are in the right spot, cantering them. I want to be proud of the result! So far so good!

Here’s everything. I love the pcb’s they look great and are labelled with part number and value, saving a lot of cross-checking in the docs. Build docs are a layout and schematic all printed on fairly large paper, I think it’s A3. Off to solder my “Solderno”

Absolutely. I’m getting older and my knees aren’t getting any younger, so I’ll take any advantage that will get me out. If all I had was my regular bike, I would have waited until I had my car back to get it. Win-win!

Ok, just picked the box up from UPS as the shipper chose to have it held at a UPS store. Depending on your perspective, this is a good way of thwarting porch pirates or annoyance that you have to go pick it up. It’s the latter for me, as I’m home most days, though I can appreciate that the...

I would verify with a multimeter

The link is 404ing, no more left?

My favs are the Cobalt and recently the chop shop. I bought the always on one from Fairfield after I built mine, it’s a staple on my board now.

I have built a 3110 board and it’s on par with my Princeton, so yeah it works great!

You inspired me to put mine together today, and it is aggressive.

Where did you get an NTE996? I’m looking for one to build a byrdhouse myself

Making it on perfboard now!

I had the socket wired as if it were DSG and not DGS as I should have, works perfectly now!

Drain is 3.5v, source is 0v and gate is 9v.

I just swapped it for the third time and the output is very very weak, but strong before the FET.

Thanks man! I've been learning over the last year or so. Started with mods to pedals, then to amp mods, then building pedalpcb boards, built an amp, and now I'm working on entire circuits. Still learning and changing my methods. No clean flux in an injector, lead-free solder, and a hot iron are...

I'm building a BD-2 based on the layout over at effects layouts with a modded output stage designed by @Chuck D. Bones. The circuit works perfectly until I get to the BS170. Chuck's thread...

I don’t have any chicken heads, and I like the aesthetic of the aluminum knobs, the tweed is a nod to the amp, and the rest is to make it look badass.
