Muzzle Classic

[flemming]

No problems assembling the PCB. The THAT4301 came from Mojotone (before they went OOS), everything else is from Tayda. I feel like the drill template (or my drilling) was just slightly off. I needed to tweak the LED a bit to get it to line up. Since I was using stereo jacks everywhere, fitting in the side chain ones was a little tight. I was worried about the unused contacts touching the IC, so I just snipped them off leaving the tips and switched tip in place. With those rotated toward the top, I don't think there's anything to be concerned about. I'm going to throw every damn 9v power supply I have out the window and finally buy a proper isolated one because once again there was random noise that I started trying to troubleshoot before testing with a battery.

Nice!
I still have parts to build two of these, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I love what you did with the graphic!

Looks good and love the graphic.

I built one of each and like the classic better.

Looks good and love the graphic.

Thanks, I feel like cobbling together the graphics is half the fun. My 10 year old would disagree with you on this particular one though So far I feel like I've been pretty lucky and I haven't had any major issues. I'm still sorting out my process and learning along the way. There's a large gap between being able to assemble these and actually knowing how they work, so I have a long way to go.

right there with you - I promised myself a one-and-done, and have already purchased and received my second PCB

o.0

I grasp how they work, but I don't have the knowledge of if I change a component for another value how does that affect the circuit.


This is my graphic on mine.
