Hey All,
Here is my latest creation. The enclosure was from a kit from General Guitar Gadgets. A TS clone if I’m not mistaken, however I wasn’t happy with the sound it gave since there was always gain on and wanted to use it as a booster if needed. In hindsight I think I just soldered the gain pot incorrectly.
Anyways, this is a Boss SD-1 on vero from tagboardeffects with clipping selector. Fired up the first time which gave me more confidence in my soldering abilities. The only issue I had with this was that it was pretty quiet and had to turn my other pedals down below 9 o’clock to get unity. The guys here at this forum suggested to tack on an LPB-1 booster before output and fixed the issue.
The enclosure is older which is why you see a lot of dings and scuff marks. The wiring inside is kind of a mess, but I am getting better with wiring the more I build. Now I definitely see why PCB builds are crisper looking and more professional.
I would definitely recommend vero board for anyone here looking for a new challenge. Definitely learned a lot too since I decided to trace the schematic on the layout diagram before building. All in all a great success! I included a pre-booster pic just to show how small it is to tack on to virtually any build that isn’t too large.
