Done except for labels. I like this thing A LOT! Top row: treble, bass, drive, gain, depth Bottom row: volume, boost 1590XX in “portrait” orientation. The layout wouldn’t work with top mounted I/O jacks. It would have pushed the knobs down too close to the foot switch. I was too focused...

That textured red looks incredible! The foot switch nut orientation is pretty eye catching.

It’s alive. I missed 4 solder points. Once I found those, it fired up. Laying out the drill template next.

Lehle Sunday Driver?

Well, I am right on track! It does nothing until I aggressively twist the volume knob. Then it goes “scritch scratch scritch scratch, WHEEEEEE” Debug time. :dmm:

It interesting: When I was working in diylc, it was a challenge to pack everything in. But looking at the picture, the board appears to have a bunch of wasted space. Ultimately, I didn’t see how to fit it into a 1590BB. When I moved the footprint up to 1590XX, I had enough room for a...

I decided against the available strip board layout because I don’t enjoy off board wiring and wanted board mounted pots. So I worked out a perfboard layout in DIYLC. Once it’s done and confirmed, I’ll post the layout. It’ll fit in a 1590XX. I triple checked the layout against the...

@sixxtus I have found errors in a few different build docs for PCB Mania. I usually try to double check with a different source. For example if the trace and schematic are on freestompboxes.org I just looked at the build docs. The BOM, the shopping list, and the schematic all show different...

I love the ultra stoner. “Hey bro, you know it’s just a big muff, right?” “No way man! It’s got 4 knobs and a Doom switch. To turn on Doom! It’s a completely different circuit than a big muff!”

Did you remove the wire from Vol 2 to the output jack? (The original one you installed needs to be removed. So that Vol 2 only goes to pin 9. Not both pin 9 and the output jack)

Are the octave diodes installed ok? One of them is sticking up a bit and I can’t see the solder area.

Here it is. I just noticed I don't have the pot values labeled, but they are the same as shown on dirtbox layouts.

Well, this is my most ambitious breadboard. For new breadboard bakers: Don’t get discouraged when your board doesn’t work. This is a monster with 7 pots, 3 different voltages, 2 IC’s, and 4 transistors. And it was crippled by a missing jumper and an out of place resistor leg. Just walk...

I've been conditioned by social media to not think for myself. I expect an article to tell me which one is The Best. So. Which one is The Best? :confused: But an actual question: Were these all through hole components? I've read on the internet (so it must be true) that new smd parts have...

Those skinny boards are pretty sweet! It looks like you could jam even more stuff in there.

I tune in for your unfiltered stream of consciousness. And I quote, "you buy a pedal... and you go on youtube and you go well, lets see what people think about it. Is it a piece of $#!T or whatever" There are plenty of others, but for some reason that one stuck in my brain. It brightens my...

Awesome! Man, I love Doom II.

Nice job, that looks great! If your looking for more strip board projects, that site has a layout for the Grind Customs Ultra Stoner which is an awesome big muff variant. Grind is out of business, so that project is neat since you can’t buy the actual boards anymore.

Looks great! Which germanium diodes did you use? 1&2 are the octave. 8&9 are clipping.

Big sounds from 2 tiny circuits. That sho layout looks like it would drop right into a piece of perf board. I like how it mostly lays over the pot to save space. Did you 3D print the dust covers?
