Tonebender mki stripboard

[Johnnyorange500]

Hi,

I stupidly counted the measurements wrong for my tone bender mki strip-board. And cut it by x8 instead of x9. And followed this layout. So the ailments are going to be a little off. I’ve tried to compensate for this..I’ve not committed to soldering it yet., am I best recutting another stripboard. Or is there a way around this.

Cheers

I'd just recut it

Yeah, thought so. I’ve got plenty of strip board so.. thought I’d just check before starting again. Cheers

Wasn’t feeling it. So started again with this layout.

You did good.

Thanks buddy. I’m not gonna lie it took me a while to get it right. Just took my time on it. It was tough but I’m happy how it’s turned out. It sounds not too shabby too. Hopefully will post some sounds soon.

I've always wanted to know two things about the MKI: Did you just twirl the leads together and solder them? And how is the board attached to the pots?

Yep pal. Exactly that.
It’s held by the soldered parts that join onto the lugs of the tone pots. I did wonder the same but once it was in front of me and i got stuck into the build it all makes sense.
