Tyrian Distortion

[ErickPulido]

I decided a long time ago that no circuit was gonna defeat me. Sometimes troubleshooting took a few minutes, sometimes it took a few months. Once it took a year; turned out to be an intermittent switch in a piece of test gear.

that's a great thinking, I finished already 4 builds and want to finish up some more, only the 33 is noisy and has to get an update I got the bc550b instead of the C version gotta change that and had a problem with a bad soldering in a cap that was giving me no sound, never give up, it will work

Oh I’ll get it going ! I’ll try that test you wanted me to....I’ve made quite a few rookie simple mistakes but you learn from them...I opened up all my builds and I seen my progression from my earliest builds to now...I’m starting to understand things now...only been at this for 2 months

in the end you will understand it and will love to build more, I also started 2 months ago but just finished my builds

Test fitting in the enclosure from the S.D , it looks like header pins maybe the way to go..again this is a mockup its going to be a tight fit !

Sure hope i put the LED in right this time ...lol

Talk about 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack...
- that's 4.54 kg in a 2.27 kg sack for anyone outside the US -

You definitely wanna get that running right before it goes in the box!

Chucky DB with the metric!

Um yea ! Lol

i think I might use sockets for the LED underneath....for some reason I get it wrong , then solder it in the socket....was going to use a blue enclosure but this red one is predrilled from the S.D treble box / fuzz I built....head scratcher for sure

Its a very tight fit ! Start it this weekend

IMO the easy solution to tight component layouts is to mount any offending part on the back side of the PCB. That lower tl074 would easily fit on the back out of the way of any pots and switches.

True. It's done with surface mount components all the time. A little more challenging with thru-hole parts, but doable.

i used three DIP14s. Snip the inside of the DIP14 on the right.
