Title: Orange Attitude and Smoke'nMirrors
Post by: cooder on April 25, 2015, 05:44:34 AM
Here's two of Jubal81 / Jason excellent and superbly designed pcbs, first up on the left the "Orange Goblin", had that populated for awhile now, high time to give it a well deserved box and a good run on the pedalboard!
Nice growly Orange tones, sounds tight and gives it attitude and grit of the well known amplifiers!
Dig it, let's rawk!
Very useful tonestack too. I went with smd jfets (except Q1 BS 170 TH).

On the right side it's the faawnkeee "Mirrorball"  envelope filter, very cool sounding! Highly recommended, good fun to play with for sure!
Really reacts well to playing style and working the vol pot and tone pot to get different attack. Nice one!
I omitted the BS250S voltage protection circuit since I didn't have the tranny handy. Replaced R1 with a 1N4001 for the old school simple voltage protection instead.

Thanks Jason for those super projects and boards!

Switching on both with 1776 effects excellent "Finish Line" relay bypass board. Love those!

They are both beautiful, but the Mirrorball really does it for me!  Looks like a photo from the Hubble that went nuts.

Thanks again guys, much appreciated!  :)
I think and know that the swirl look is not everybody's thing really and I totally appreciate that, it's more of a niche thing. So glad you like it.
It's just how I like my board to look, chaos in colour...

Well, i think they look kick ass Cooder!  I have about 10 sample pots in the garage from when we extended recently.  Not sure how 10 shades of grey/white will look though? lol

You could do at least 50 shades of Grey with that if you're into that... Mahahahaha
