Title: Crazy Tubes Ziggy
Post by: Ralfg on December 02, 2016, 02:24:01 AM
Built a Crazy Tubes Ziggy Overdrive from Perf and PCB Effects Layouts http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2016/05/crazy-tubes-ziggy-overdrive.html (http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2016/05/crazy-tubes-ziggy-overdrive.html)

If you haven't checked out the site you should totally do so, some great layouts on there and drill templates.  Thank you for a great site.

I'm super impressed with this community, so many people willing to share knowledge and experience.  Gotta throw a shout out to Madbean too for all the work he has done to educate and provide resources to people.

I etched the enclosure using some tips and tricks from this site, thanks to all those who posted all the great tips and special thanks to m-Kresol for saving my lungs and health by switching me over to ferric chloride for etching.  I have found that you can get so much more control and quality out of the etches. 

Alright enough of the love.

Had a little bit of trouble with the pcb only because there was a little bit of solder that overflowed to ground and it took me a while to figure that out.  But... this pedal sounds great!  The gain and tone controls are really usable and I can get some really cool sounds.  And, you can totally dial in that Ziggy Stardust sound if you want to, which was the inspiration for the etch.

Nice work man! I've had a Ziggy board populated on my bench for like 3 months and I keep forgetting about it. Glad you dig it and thanks for your kind words about the site.
