Title: Name Dropper
Post by: derevaun on October 16, 2013, 09:02:09 PM
I scored three sweet OC75s from badgerific in his holiday PIF, like nearly two years ago, and finally got them into a tonebender mkii board and boxed up. I did the layout in Eagle, starting from culturejam's layout (http://www.forrestwhitesides.com/node/71) (the image is no longer online), with board mounted vertical pots from Tayda. The enclosure is a B sized trapezoid (1590TRPB); I used a laser printable clear label and hastily sprayed on a few coats of clear acrylic. It sounds great to my ears--nice and smooth. I don't get a lot of range from the Attack pot (1K), but it cleans up nicely with the guitar's volume pot.

I mounted the board so that the signal flow is left-to-right, as are the jacks. I may regret that eventually, but I doubt it. In any case, the board can be mounted right-to-left (the knobs would be farther back that way).

The board layout is shared at OSH Park (http://oshpark.com/profiles/derevaun). A BOM is in the works. It measures 60mm/2.3" from the pots' outside edges when they're mounted. They need at least 23mm/.9" of vertical space when mounted inside a box.

I have a few extra boards, including some that are slightly longer (70mm/2.75"; same vertical). I'd be happy to trade for similarly small and simple boards!

Very cool, I just love the PCB layout and the curved traces. I may have to pick up a few on Osh Park sometime. Thanks for the share.

Nice work!

I, too, love the curvy traces. I've done a few that make rounded angles around parts, but nothing that overtly curvy. Love it.
