Title: Purple Wrinkle 666!
Post by: GrindCustoms on October 21, 2012, 08:38:26 AM
Well..............another mini! Can't get enough of these....hehe.

Used IvIark vero layout of the Lovepedal Purple Plexi 800, low part count and it sounds terrific!

It's a JRC386/LM386 based circuit, thanks to atreidesheir for helping me with the IC's  ;)

Just have another mini to built to complete a trade deal i have with a guy who runs a used «booteek» pedal store. 4 mini's against 3 pretty cool pedals that i don't think that i would have bought... :D

Really like your signature enclosure style!

Do you do the sanding by hand or with a power tool?

GC, you're the new face of finishes.  How many of us have buggered up a paint job and sanded it back to get to where this is?  Hat's off, I'm liking it!

I continue to be jealous of your ability to fit 16mm pots and fullsized jacks in these. Even with a laser sited drill press and a template I'm not accurate enough.

Them's just 47uF. They are pretty big compared to other tants, but they look so cool.

Hand drill FTW! ;D No joke!

Yeah, they're pretty big, but it's mojolicious! the lead spacing is also to wide for most pcb, i bought quite a big lot of those........got to find place to use them and what is better than a mini with oversized caps..hahaha
