Pork Barrel......Finally

[CODymmoT]

Ok so a short back story on this build. I grew to love the sound of the pedal this is based off. Last year I went looking for a CE-2 only to find they have a ridiculous price tag against them these days. (I now wish I'd picked one up 15-20 years ago when they litters the second hand sections of music stores)
Any way, in my googling I stumbled across the madbean site along with a number of others.

I've wired plenty of guitars and countless cables so I figured I'd try to build a clone of a CE-2 rather than forking out 100s. In a way you could say that this build was indirectly the catalyst for a new hobby. I attempted a couple of other simpler builds before tackling this one and when I got round to ordering a board the terrible twos decided to come to our household and present its own set of life challenges.

I started this is November 2016 and after some troubles with myself putting the wrong transistors on the board and an Unshielded dc input, finally buttoned it up tonight! It sounds great and am really happy with the final result.

The etched enclosure was a bit of fun after rewatching Sin City

Love to hear your thoughts

Cheers Tommy

Looks great man. So I see you socketed C21. What do you have in there now and what other values did you try?

[jonnygreentrees]

that looks awesome! can you tell me about the shielded DC input? I've just finished mine and get a subtle ticking when it's boxed up but not outside the box. I think it's to do with the offboard wiring being too close to each other

Nice build, great etch!

Thanks mate.

I didn't get any ticking with the unshielded D.C. Input. It was just a bone head maneuver on my behalf with the negative shorting to ground.
