Title: Pork Barrel
Post by: bscur on February 18, 2016, 11:40:38 PM
Here is a Pork Barrel that I built. I waited a long time for these to restock, so it was even more of a treat when they became available. I had an old black label Boss CE2 that I loved. This sounds a lot like what I remember. Now I just need to find an Ibanez AD 80 pedal pcb  to replace my long lost pink beauty.

That's awesome! I love what you did with the LED's on that one.
I want to build one is f these but have been holding off ordering the board because I already have sooooo many others waiting to be built.
Thanks for sharing this one, looks great!

Killer, I bet that really lights up the pedal board.

Nice build!  The pulsing rate LED is very weak on mine.  It's more bright>less bright than on>off.  Did you do anything different from the build doc instructions to get yours so defined?

Hi, thanks a lot for the positive comments. I didn't alter anything, just wired it right to the pcb. Maybe it is the LED type? I used the Hi-Bright 3mm type for the eye and 5mm for the blue corners. I've used others that were diffused and not as powerful on my first couple of pedals. I bought some boxes of assorted colors off ebay. It was fairly cheap and I don't feel bad if I fry one now and again (because I certainly earn that diode destroyer label).
