Title: First Veroboard and 1590a
Post by: wretched on January 25, 2014, 10:02:00 AM
Yay! I got a delivery today and built my first Veroboard build. I am still waiting on the stomp switch and haven't boxed it up, but I am so happy that it works  ;D
It is a Rangemaster NPN treble booster.

Hey man, that's great!
I built several dozen vero circuits and really had no need for pcbs for the longest time. Only when chinese fab became so cheap did I switch over to pcb...

Keep it going, those can be really challenging when the pot count increases but they are loads of fun!

Thanks guys, I like the sound but would like a bit more bass in it. But then I guess it wouldn't be a treble booster.

The transistor is a AC194

I was happy building on the PCBs but this feels more like DIY. Now I see why people here were interested in something to hold their work steady. I got some blue poster tack and it cut my cussing down about 75%. I was soo happy to hear that guitar when I plugged in.

I am planning on building this one next

I am working my way up to build another Paisley type drive, a Blues Driver, and this cream tone.

The creamtone was on my short 2build list but sadly it fell victim to ITead...  ::)
