Hi Folks,
Here is my Ego Driver I finally got all decal'd and put back together. I've been using this for a while and really liking it a whole lot, so it took a while to finally decide take it off the board long enough to get it decal'd and clearcoated. This build had a lot of "Doh!" moments. For example, I forgot to drill a place for the clipping switch, stuff got soldered on backwards, can't remember it all now but there was a bunch. Anyway, I like the stock clipping as is so I just jumpered the solder posts & left the switch off for now. This is the first build I've had with board mounted pots, love it!

This looks so good! Nice build man, I love my Egodriver as well. Only thing I can think of to make it even more orange is an orange LED, but never seen one of those....... Being from Holland, I have to like orange (we are ruled by the House of Orange, you know!), and if you've watched the olympics and seen the Dutch women's hockey team, you'll understand I love it! ;) Cool pedal!

thanks Paul! The LED looks yellow when it's off but it's actually orange when lit. I thought the all-orange theme, including LED, would be cool but unfortunately the LED kind of blends in with all the other orange stuff. Another "Doh!" moment. :D
Cool, an orange LED! Where did you get that? Still, you need to check out the Dutch women's hockey team, hot! ;D Hope to see some more of your builds here! BTW: we all have our "DOH!!!" moments!

Nice one gginther! :)
I have a question concerning this circuit, the original can be run on 18v, could we run this one on 18v if all capacitors are rated over that voltage?
Or it needs a «special» part to be added.
I know the IC can take it, so that's no biggie.
Thanks

thanks guys! Paul, I'm not sure where I got the LED, it's either from Mammoth or Futurlec.

I see what you mean about the Hockey team! :o
Rej, seems like I read somewhere it can do 18v. Here's a build report:

Let us know if you hook something up!
I'll try to populate one of my boards tonight, they're not Egodriver, but they share an almost same layout.....couple differences but nothing major.
I'll let you guys know ;)

Yes, it's good for 18v!
