Title: WIP: new testing rig
Post by: madbean on April 04, 2011, 06:24:55 PM
I've been meaning to build a separate rig for build testing for quite a while. The hope is to leave my prototyping board ready for long-term breadboard action instead of having to dismantle it to test out if my builds work.

Here's the little fella. He'll have bi-polar power supply on the small BB, and there's a 1/8" jack on the enclosure to plug in an audio probe. The larger breadboard is to plug in wires to connect/swap PCB mounted pots out.

Hopefully I will get to wire him up this week!

Looks great Bean! I still have to build me one of these. I get my bread board all loaded up then somehow seem to knock it over.......everytime. :P

Nice... love to see an action shot once you get a circuit on it too, love to make one of these myself :)

This is such a must have! That box is the perfect size for this and perhaps a rat clone. Where did you get the little box?

I love the 1550 series...especially the the black powder coated. Total industrial paint job...it will be very hard to scratch.

That one is quite a bit smaller James. It's close, but not the same enclosure.

I did a little research and found some on pedalpartsplus called 1590LB but they are also smaller than the one you used. They are so perfect for little boosts/one knob fuzz types of pedals.
