Title: Dual Drive Pedal
Post by: she sells sea shells on March 29, 2014, 07:03:14 AM
Hi everyone I bought this pcb of a member on byoc forum.
I think one side is supposed to be an MI Audio distortion of some sort and the other side some kind of analog man king of tone.
I am not too sure but have an internal dip switch for different clipping diodes and has a 9v-18v switch with 18v provided by charge pump
Enclosure is mammoth powder blue, love this colour.

My first job without pcb mounted pots. Has orange leds. Nice colour but not very bright.

one of the 3dpt switches seemed a little low quality. got it from tayda. didn't have as much red goo on it.

sounds really good. one side can get more heavier sort of tones I don't use often, but it is very cool to use to bring the harmonics out. You can squeal playing any note pretty much. Other side is less heavy and great for rock tones.
Very versatile box

Looks great man! Hopefully you found the board easy to put together. Having everything on board is a hand thing that I'm doing that I really like. BTW, the left side is a Crunch Box. I modded mine to have less gain (aka Guv'nor specs) and it's my favourite drive pedal right now.

yeah dude I saw the colour on madbean and the example photo was with these knobs and brown! saw it and had to do it.

I think your circuit layout is really well designed and offers great functions.  (shhh don't talk about the pcb mounted pots, I may have made an error)

I am finding so many good tones with this pedal, especially when playing with the presence. Kind of makes me think if I should use an external pot. Sounds really good with two different sounds each side then stacking them.
