Title: Off Board Wiring for Abominable Electronics DIY sets?
Post by: trailer on April 03, 2020, 06:29:34 PM
Hey all! Long time no post. With the ol plague outside I've had time to get back into building pedals. I have a handful of PCBs from Abominable that I don't understand the off board wiring for. See the two pics attached. Anybody here have suggestions they are willing to share?

You may have to email Abominable, since pad labels like RI, RO, and the like are not helpful, to me at least.

Their website says they email buyers a zip file containing documents?

To clarify further, the dude from abominable is no help here. He stayed up front he wouldn't offer help at all and I confirmed this with him directly a few days ago.

The page on his site says he'll email a zip containing, among other things, a wiring diagram. Did he send you the wiring diagram?

Did not. I purchased my boards in an old sale not listed on the site anymore. In that sale he made it clear he would not offer help or diagrams. Everyone who builds effects from PCBs were like "no big deal, I can off board wire." Here we are though.

He probably added the "wiring diagrams" after people complained about the weird pad labels/wiring and parts completely missing off the BOMs.

It's been a year since he started selling these PCBs so you'd think there'd be some info out there but I've been scouring the web all day looking for anything and it's still pretty scarce.

Well that's lame.

If you have a continuity checker you should be able to suss out the connections.

Ignore the "R" you have Ground In Out LED . I don't know about the ones not labeled.

I would say RI = Reverb (=board/circuit) In, RO = Reverb Out, GO, GI, G3 = ground pads.

Nope, it's a double effect with two footswitches, reverb and fuzz

Checkout the pics from the reverb links above
