Title: Kingslayer completed!
Post by: jalmonsalmon on October 01, 2012, 03:46:34 AM
Hey all, I finished my kingslayer today and many thanks to Haberdasher for the tip on using 2 resistors to get the proper value for R19!  Got it wired up and it worked the first time!  I get the motorboat thing on one of the diodes as indicted in the 09.17 update and will try the R11 mod later if needed. So far I am loving the pedal and will try it later tomorrow with a deluxe reverb and give it a workout! One question I have would be about the D2, D3 and D8, D9 diodes. I am using Bat 46 and red LEDs and am wondering if you have to use all of the diodes? They sound good to me as is....  Pedal is sort of like a hotter version of a bad monkey or something with more dirt!  Clips posting later and thank you Madbean for all the hard work you do!  Here are the guts!  Excuse the rats nest because I am still a noob at wire management LOL
I chose the buffered version and I did not have the resistors for the 3PDT switch and had to pair up to get the proper values there as well...
LOL

A win indeed! I'm impressed that you were able to do that on the footswitch! Don't worry, the wiring will steadily get better--I've been doing this for a year and am still not that great with it. The main thing is that it works and you like it.

Woop!  I always feel a little nervous until those first sounds are made... well done! :)

Oh I forgot to mention how when soldering the main IC, I accidentally went too far and soldered the holes for R19! That was the value that needed to be tepee'd together with 2 resistors = 392k  Doh! ::)
I was saving that one for last so when I was cleaning up my mess with a desolder braid, the end of C2 got the iron and is melted on the end LOL   ah well...
I inspected the board with a good magnifying glass and everything is clean, no shorts.

WHEW!   
I have a clip of the boneyard (not even going to go into the issues I had with that one!) with the kingslayer boosting it and it is pretty gnarly
fuzz is a tonebender mk1.5
If I get time I will try to make some GOOD clips of the kingslayer in all its glory

guess I am a cowboy now!  cannot wait for the warhead and zero delay coming out !WOOT!
Thanks ALL!
