Head cold [MoRC]

[fig]

This is not a new build, but with the upcoming creaminess headed our way it came to moo...er...mind. The is a GPCB v.3 layout, sans the release switch for basic functionality.

I call it head cold because yeah...it sounds like your stuffed head feels. ....and it lasts for days!

It's solid straight-up compressionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I got one of those to box up around here somewhere, and I think it's the version 2 board

Great name for your build Fig!
I like the Molex connectors you have, I bought an assortment of them yesterday in various pin-numberings to try them out.
Green power plug factors in to the overall decor of the pedal?



I never ordered the MoRC because DynaRoss just isn't great for Bass (or so I've read ad infinitum), yet I still wound up with a couple of the PCBs — one may have been part of a package deal or like its brother was a freebie chucked in with an order.

So I'm thinking of building one up with an Orange Squeezer (Analogman Bicomp), try to channel some Tony Levin ... maybe add a DI and call it a...
... MoRC & MijnDI

If it was SMD it'd be:
Nanoo-nanoo

So when somebody posts a build without a "gut shot," usually within the first three posts someone else is asking, "What, no guts?"
But when somebody posts nothing but a gut shot we act like nothing is missing??

Nice guts, by the way.

Thank you! Yes, in fact one might say the only decor. Though the 2 knobs are green as well. I think Lawrence had them on clearance at the time.

Thank you! In my case, it's no act.

I think the current release is v4.

Looks like you're getting the remnants of that storm. We can usually predict our weather by N. Georgia, especially snow or ice.

I need to build them and really do a comparison.

Put the squeeze on them!

Splendid looking build that @fig

Very neat looking topside I've got this thing about box film caps all being straight and inline with each other yours look square rule perfect

I'll overlook the 2 bottom 100ns being almost there on this occasion only

I'll put it down to camera angle

But only coz you're a good guy most people would get a severe slap on the head for such a transgression

Thanks! I think the wiring is atrocious, there's flux all over the breakout, some of the resistors are backwards or upside-down, the diode leads were obviously not bent properly, and C2 looks like the leaning tower of Pisa (very odd place Pisa...).

When I looked at it the first thing I noticed were the nice straight caps I'm such a sad individual I'd rather destroy a pad repositioning it than have a misaligned film cap

BTW you missed yer chance to give me pelters......

They're 10ns ain't they haha

Sad? I usually hold the board in one hand with my finger on the top...touch the iron to the lead-side and move it until I'm happy. Sometimes it takes too long and my finger lets me know it.

What's a few farads between friends?

I sort of did that for the Low Tide, lining up the caps, but it was more important to me to have them sitting flush with the PCB — so due to manufacturing tolerances being sloppy, not all my Low Tide's caps are in perfect alignment. Then there's the 1/2w resistors...

Low Tide....slowly I turn....step by step...inch by inch....I still haven't traced my issue (my 'no schematic' excuse kinda evaporated when it became available). It lay unboxed in a collection (hey...don't judge...it's a small one) of misfit toys. Maybe I'll start a fix fig's figamajigs thread? [yes....let THEM fix it Tim!...great idea....shhh they can read this you idiot!]

Yeah a few showers here and there, likely for a week or so
