Title: Banana! & Blank Canvas
Post by: juansolo on January 29, 2014, 06:23:26 PM
Banana!

Built on a THN Technik board fabbed by Haberdasher. Really good distortion this one. I'm surprised it's not built more. Why minions? Why Reezafratzitz...?

This one came about because Martin snagged mine when he borrowed it to give it a go (I never did get around to reversing the mid pot on that). So I needed to make another for me. No problem I think to myself, I'll make my life easier this time by sticking it in a bigger box. This has resulted in one of my ugliest wiring jobs in ages. I've no idea quite how I managed it, but there it is. All the pots work the right way this time though.

Another SHO built on a Grind Customs FX SuperFET PCB (cheers Rej!) for Bucketshred of the BKP forum. He's going to have an arty mate of his decorate this so specifically asked for a plain white box.

Juan,

Wherever do you find such nameless ICs?  8)

It is ;) When Martin took mine I thought, how hard can it be making it mirrored (as Cleggy has the other one that's the right way around). It's a bit confusing it has to be said. Wait until you see the A1-SP... We trashed one of the reversed boards trying to make that work, but the other is working fine. Actually we have some mods to the PS-1A that make it a bit better, but I'll post them when I put that one up.

it is a bit tense dead bugging the ICs though.

Love the decal, as always. Also, if my wiring was that tidy I would be very content!

Cool stuff. I've been tempted to do a Reeza layout.
