Build Reports / DirtBag Deluxe build
December 14, 2011, 09:45:32 AM
I just finished boxing this up tonight.  Thanks to Brian for the great boards and the detailed instructions, it's a challenging build but well worth it.  Sounds absolutely luscious!  After calibrating the trimpots, I found myself playing guitar for about 40 minutes at the test bench (ie the kitchen table).  Lovely pedal.

It's a tight fit in a 1590BB size case, but it's doable.  I used low-profile electrolytic caps on both the main board and the roadrage power board too.  Not much room to spare!  I mounted the roadrage on the lid.  It took me ages to work out how to mounting everything though, and plenty of designing on the computer and measuring carefully to make sure everything fit.  The label is a laser-printed water slide decal using a design I put together.  Not exactly original though!

The other board you can see in the pictures is an IO and power board I made, and also the footswitch mounts onto it as well.  I know it's not the most conventional jack layout but I wanted a 'landscape' type orientation for the pedal.
