Title: Muzzle Loader
Post by: chuckbuick on June 20, 2014, 05:56:55 AM
This is a BE Musket fuzz done up in SMD.  Lots of knobs and lots of variation.  I haven't played with it too much yet but I'm looking forward to exploring it's possibilities.

Would it be weird if I said that layout reminded me of a satellite view of a city block? Because it does, and that's awesome.

Not weird at all.  I use the Google Earth library for Eagle ;D

Only thing missing is a screwy intersection where everyone runs the stop sign. :)

Love it!

Google creeps me out, so I don't think I'll be using that library anytime soon...

Brilliant. Especially impressed with the mechanics - 16mm pots, room for top or side jacks.

Luckily there is one of those about 100 feet from my front door so the mojo is in there.

Yeah, that stuck out to me as well.  Very well laid out for practical building.

Great job, Mark.

Thanks guys.  After all these builds I'm still caught out sometimes by how much time it takes to wire pots.  I try to use board-mounted pots where I can.  As far as top-mounted jacks go, I'm so used to using side mounts that I just don't think to do them up top when I do my graphic layouts.

Wow, what a layout! Your SMD skill is showing big time! I really love the exterior too. Sweet graphics and the knobs look great with it. And a knurled nut on the stomp. Classy!

You wouldn't have this board available for sale, would you?

SMT, it's like some sort of alchemy. Messes with my mind how neat some of you guys do it.  8)

That is awesome! How the hell did you make the layout so damn neat?

As above though, if you're selling any boards, gimme a shout!

my take is that using tants instead of electros aids big time in visual acceptance of smd. easier to solder, too. :)
that said, this is all sorts of amazing.

I'm not planning on selling these mainly because the Blackout Effectors crew seem like cool cats.  But I do have 2 boards left over from my OSH Park run.  PM me your address and I'll get one in the mail for you.

Lots of time.  I try to layout boards following the schematic.  After I do that I just start arranging things by turning them this way and that and pulling them closer together until I get them as compact as I can.  It's a decent system until you get it all done and realize that you left out a few components and they don't fit in.  I ended up with 3 components on the bottom of a Triple Wreck layout because of that.

PM me your address.  I'll send you my other leftover board

Thanks, man.  Yeah, no electro's makes for a much neater looking board.  But the sticker-shock when purchasing tants and high value MLCC's (like the 47uf at C19) is still a little unsettling to me.

Truer words were ne'er spoke.  Still love to look at this one.

Weird thing about tants is they are so much cheaper in qty, but the break is still a pretty big investment.   Group buy anyone?

(Now you know why I want get y'all into smt- to save money on tants.)  ;)
