Title: Superlead - OD
Post by: mcalaff on November 23, 2013, 10:08:18 PM
This is the first time I design (from the schematic http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.com.es/2012/01/lovepedal-superlead.html (http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.com.es/2012/01/lovepedal-superlead.html)) and etching myself the PCB.

Is a Lovepedal Superlead clone with two clip modes, a pair of leds and a pair of silicon diodes (should open it to remember what diodes, hehe).

It sounds bad, a lot of bass frecuencies. I use a Boss GE-7 equalizer and it sounds better. In the future i would solve it.

That paint is absolutely amazing.

What do you mean by it sounding wrong?

Maybe, I think, a wrong capacitor value...

A lot of bass=good!!!  :P you're just playing the wrong guitar, you need one with 4 strings, not 6.

My swirl techinc is very simple.

Bill of materials:

- Enclosure (obvious).
- Acrylic paint (primary colors and white).
- Toothpick.

Step 1: Mix colors to taste diluted in water (but remains relatively dense). I let the mixture made ​​to wait 40 minutes aprox. before painting the enclosure.
Step 2: Dropping paint in the enclosure.
Step 3: Tilt the box to spread the paint.
Step 4: Add other color/s and tilt to mix or spread. Random mode!
Step 5: Use the toothpick to spread the paint.

Here are the instructions I use http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=18988 (http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=18988)
