Title: A few builds
Post by: Droogie on June 12, 2017, 06:32:56 PM
First up is the Alpha Dog, with spiffy new 470R resistors instead of 470k—makes a big difference!
This thing sounds great, and will definitely be living on the board.

Pale Horse
Me: I couldn't believe how stupid it was to use the wrong value for those resistors in the Alpha.
Also me: Hold my beer...
Me: I KNOW I got two LP2950s from Mouser!
Also me: Can't find them anywhere
Me: guess I'll have to order more.
Also me: Ordered
Me, that night: Oh shit, I soldered the 2950 in the BS170 holes!
Desoldered, replaced. Fired up. Nothing. Voltages way off.
Me: I can't believe I used a 7660 instead of 7662!
Also me: Ordered
Parts arrive, replaced. Bingo!
This thing is also going on the board! Really nice overdrive

BYOC Crown Royal on vero (seven pots/four switches!!!) from Tagboard FX, minus booster of the original. It covers a lot of overdrive territory as promised. Originally had the switches and the level pot wired underneath but it was too cumbersome to fit. So break out the parmesan.

nicely done. You just gotta love when things work out in the end. Also, hammertone enclosures and clickless bypass for the win!

Hi! Nice pedals. I would ask you a favor. Could you link or post the veroboard layout of the Crwon Royal? I have not my internet connection, and I have no time to find it, sorry.
Thanks a lot! ;)
