Couple of D*A*M Pedals

[Guava13]

Would any of the following DAM boards be possible?

1. Meathead or Meathead Deluxe
2. Drag’n’Fly

I have found vero layouts for these but not as much luck with schematics.

The thing about DAM pedals is that it's not so much that the circuit is complex, but that the parts are so hard to come by. Vero works well for most DAM circuits because there's usually not that much there!

Right, I know DAM pedals are expensive because of the mojo parts, expert tuning, etc. But the silicon transistors in the Meathead are easy to source and the Drag’n’Fly is a hybrid with a silicon and NPN germanium, both also easily sourced.
Both circuits would lend themselves to easy 125B builds that could fit the standard 3 knob PedalPCB layout (at least the Drag’n’Fly and Deluxe Meathead) and not require a charge pump for the daisy chaining issues encountered with PNP germaniums. And sure, they could be built on vero, but that could be said for a lot of circuits available on this site. I hate working with vero and find PCB building to be a much more enjoyable experience.

Fair enough! I guess I'm just used to vero.

I say put the Meathead Deluxe and DragnFly on the same PCB, for a 1590N1 six-knobber dual-stomper.


That or two separate 1590A boards...
