Title: Warhead #2
Post by: geekmacdaddy on October 22, 2012, 12:53:56 PM
2nd of 3. Got it all wired and got the bulb lit, put the thing down, and all went dead. Before I panicked, I checked the power supply (brand new OEM Jim Dunlop 24v AC 200ma) and bam. It's dead. Either I shorted it somehow, or it sucked. Gotta order more. Going with Electro Harmonix 18v DC center tip positive (I'll wire the jack in reverse) this time.
I'm going to file down the bottom of the board, use a compressed air can to blow out the dust, and reinforce the electrical tape at the bottom. Dammit. The bottom of the board was hitting metal from the stompswitch, as I didn't insulate there...wonder if that shorted the PS....either way, I DID HAVE BULB! Almost there.

Very nice mate!

I love the assymetrical knob layout.

Now all you need is some cool graphics on that beauty!

That little cage you made for the lamp is really spiffy.

Thanks guys. I used to be a lot more vested in graphics than I am now...
