love it. I was expecting a liquid mercury phaser deluxe from the title. even if it's not, I wasn't dissapointed :) Great job on the SMD soldering

Fantastic!  And extra points for sizing the hole in the "o" to fit your LED.

Man, just looking at that PCB makes me sweat. Amazing job, especially for your first SMD pedal!

Bloody sweet build there! How much desoldering braid did you go through? (It works a treat for cleaning up SMD soldering.)

Didn't use any   8)

Just kinda followed chuckbuick's advice. Solder one pad for each component. heat-n-slide into place. Solder the rest of the contact points.

I will admit that I had to go back over quite a few of the IC legs and touch them up because they didn't make good contact with their pads but all of the resistors, caps, trimmers, diodes, and transistors soldered up just fine  ;)

Looks great, Greg.  I really dig the faceplate a lot, too.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Now that's a way to dip your toe in SMD.


Awesome work dude!

Nice build, Greg.  That's a fairly daring and solid entry into the world of SMT.  Good job.
