I hope it's not too annoying bumping this thread again.

No please don't share things like this ever again.

Not sure how you feel about S&M... BUT here's some WIP's and I'm gonna chain the Boost to my Dirty Little Secret

Banana for scale if you're into that sort of thing.

Irmcdermott(sp?) has a board for this in the OSH shared, uses the Klon buffer and adds some LED lighting goodness. Great sound, and the LED's are just fun, also helpful on a dark stage. Would have LOVED to have had this on a stereo VP, converted it to Mono and had the glow change intensity via the pedal position.

Found it: http://oshpark.com/shared_projects/5hoMbtgq
Schematic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/neyoxrjhc9lu7mw/Buffer%20Splitter.pdf

Thanks for the heads up.

That's the one! If you don't have a 1x1 3m double adhesive pad I suggest some.

Jacob if you want I have a sacrificial VPJR PCB you can have. I owe you for the PIF.

PM me and it's yours

Wow so, yeah I use a lot of commercial pedals and build a shit ton of DIY to give/sell
Commercial pedals:
Polytune2
Rocktron Hex (Front Volume)
Behringer Noise Reducer
Washburn Bad Dog Phaser
Timmy (does this count?)
TC Transition
EB Volume (Rear)

I have 3-4 commercial pedals besides my Polytune2. I don't think it should count as a viable DIY tuner doesn't exist.

Washburn Mad Dog Phaser
TC Transition (Flashback)Delay
Timmy (does this count?)
Rocktron HEX Volume

edit: Forgot my volume pedal


Nope... new post

All the seller questions only displayed for everyone if the seller answers and chooses to share the question and answer. In effect..  it's shouldn't

@Clayford
No worries. It happens to everyone. It's the classic situation where you would want to count up to ten before speaking... well, actually, typing ahah

Yes. I should have.
I linked to the Warhead OSP in a previous post, sounds like you found it.
Brian's Etcher's Paradise is comming soon, which should be a gold mine for you.

I feel the need to say this, because you mention money so frequently.
You will not save money making your own pedals.
You will however learn, have fun, and have the opportunity to become a part of a rather great(IMO) community.
Minus my occasionally asshattery. :) Thanks for understanding it for exactly what it was, my filter was off and I didn't think before I posted.

As per Clayford, I'm curious to know what you edited out ahah
As for my edit: I was... unkind. After posting, I read my post and said to myself, "Self, there is no way this guy is actually being the ingrate you're assuming he's being. In the process you're being quite the ass yourself. Tidy it up, give him a chance to clarify, and don't run him off". I removed my asshattery hopefully before anyone saw, and apologized for it in case they did. I was in the wrong.

I think Madbean could take the VAT off international orders without losing any money.

Seriously dude?

Why not just build my Warhead project? It is a single sided etching Univibe PCB that goes in a 1590BB.
http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5296.0

You can easily add the optional input buffer from the Harbinger and call it a day.

BTW: I do have many Italian customers. I do not consider the Italian post to be more problematic than other European countries in the sense of lost shipments, etc. It happens once in a while but luckily it is pretty rare. FWIW.

Bean may have meant to link here. I'm not sure, but it's an option as well, and includes the eagle files to make changes if you desire.

Mouser also calls them "Bi-polar" just like my ex-girlfriend.

You *might* get away with a film, but if Brian says non polar electro, I'd say use that, he has a reason.

Madbean doesn't offer double sided layouts....
Previously mentioned are places you might find larger single sided layouts of similar effects.

Maybe your etching skills are up to snuff... as much room as there is for error on these types of builds, I'd stick to a PCB for the extra money.
