Did you bite the board to size?

Snip snip with the cutters. Why does it matter? There are wings for me to put my stand offs.

I don't have a vice to saw stripboard in. In any case, fuck off.

Not criticizing







just saying, ya know, score and snap on a table edge

I picked up my vice for about £4 in Wilko. That place is so cheap it's unreal.

Don't really care.

To be fair it was a pretty decent line.

Such a pouty mongrel, Livesley.

Let's be fair, there'd have been a riot if NoHo produced something like that. :roll:

Eh?

it's the CIRCUIT BOARD. It's inside the fucking pedal. You can't see it.

it functions PERFECTLY.

Cretins.

I'm not really annoyed, but likening my work (which I take a great deal of pride and effort in) to the hackery of NoHo is just an insult to me.

I offer to fix anything that might ever go wrong on my pedals as long as you didn't open it up to fuck with it for life. For free.

If anyone is unsatisfied they know they can contact me and we'll work it out one way or another.
However I will try the score and snap method next time I make a stripboard.

If that's it, it looks simple enough. Two knobs, fairly simple circuit although I need special transistors. £45?

that will be the next pedal i'm after. though maybe the supa tonbender version, which basically adds a tone control.

This one? the colour sound version?

the initial one was very simple, this is quite a lot more complicated, but still doable... more like £75/£80 though.

is the simple one the same circuit as this

Yeah, identical, just compared a gut shot to the schematic - all component values and circuit layout looks the same.

Bear in mind this design is positive ground (i.e. it ain't gonna daisy chain with other pedals) - so battery or own supply a must.

In case you didn't see this before the edit.

i think that shouldn't be a problem.

been using fuzz a lot again lately, though cant wait to plug my box of rock back in soon.

OK. I could probably do that in a small box (saltbooster style) with the footswitch moved up to accomodate the battery underneath it. I'm getting a lot better at minaturising my builds as much as possible.
