Title: My real first fabbed PCB, which is not proto !!
Post by: Jean-Rock on November 01, 2013, 03:24:25 AM
Hi everybody ! After a missed prototype (I found the problem and I've fixed it) I have now a great layout for my version of a Muff (which is the GGG's one, it turned to be the one that I prefer...probably cause it do not still sound like a BigMuff...hehe)

I really like the blue !!  :D

You know when you order a small batch of 50 PCB.....just the minute before you hit the switch.....it feels like I was about to die.....but it fired up and sounded perfectly nice !!  :D yeah !!

I called it the JOJO CAKE...because of a friend (Jonathan)
It's the 4th on the row !! You can see my models (I'm very proud of my line up....after only 8 month and a half of building.....and missing.....and spending all my energy to solve the many issues I faced...)

I'll probably film some demos next week with a friend.....and you'll be able to follow me on my web site www.jonnyrockgear.com

Hope you like it !! Cheers  :)

They look amazing. A little Earthquaker-ish, which is good.

They look really cool, like they all have a similar graphic theme

You really have "something" with those graphics. Consistent and attractive looking. You design them yourself i guess?

You orderred from iTead? Or somewhere else?

Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much !

I got the main idea for the graphics but didn't draw it myself...

Yes, the PCB is from iTead.....I'm waiting for the DynaBoost one today, it's red like the pedal. (I like to match the PCB color with the pedal..hehe ;D)

Really awesome lineup, and I love the graphics.  Just curious what program you use to make the graphics?  You've only been doing this for 8 months?  Wow, that is great.

Really nice collection.  All stylistically similar but with their own personality.  Very professional looking.

My friend use the standard Adobe illustrator for the pics (he's working professionnally for video games as graph)....and yes only 8 months of building (started from zero knowledge, I've read "electronics for Dummies  ;D)...but I'm really into it like 25 hours each weeks, I must have build like 30 units since then. Some are nice, some completely s*ck ! hehe  :)
