Breadboard Baker
This build has been a long time coming for me and means something special. Why? Well, once I got my breadboard up and running over this summer I decided on a whim to put together a Marshall Guv'nor (PedalPCB Guvernator). If you look around in the test kitchen you'll find this build. The stock circuit really hit home for me so I pulled the trigger on a board.
God, I miss soldering! Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy breadboarding, but soldering really hits home for me even from a therapeutic standpoint. The only mods I did were to socket R5 and C5 to increase the gain potential. Right now I've got a 1m resistor and a 330pf cap combo to give it some more gain. This is a simpler circuit to make, but I had a lot of fun.
The enclosure is taken from the Ratchet and Clank video game series. In case you don't know anything about the games it's a more family oriented game where the point is to blow $&*! up with ridiculous weapons. It's a very fun game to pass a few afternoons. I put in a super bright white LED and it can be blinding at times, so don't stare into the light!
Anyway, I consider this my Christmas gift to myself. Now, time to play some Megadeth!!!!
