Still the best chorus out there. Road Rage lurking underneath running the effect at 15v.

Agreed, particularly with MN3007! Great job 8)
Beautiful artwork. Congrats
First: Love your taste in women, errrr, graphics juan! Lovely as always. Second: you do the same as me, orientate resistors so the colored bands match up! ;) Third: I got to build me a 15V, MN3007 Porkbarrel!!
It's an OCD thing I think. Though I usually abandon it when I get one in the wrong way and it becomes a little more random.
Which annoys me slightly.
Also the cap at the top left that isn't straight so the back fits on. I can see it a mile away and it's mocking me.
Bezels on watches that rotate have to be central also.
hmmmmm... :-[
Good catch Dutch, I'm going to try that I like the way it looks.
Juan, As for OCD, ya man you have all the signs. :'(
There is a group support thread here somewhere called "signs of terminal buildage" or something. Check it out.
:)

Nice build!

I'm guilty of putting the tolerance bands all the same direction as well, but I'll throw 1/8w carbon comps in an otherwise all metal film laden pedal without hesitation so maybe I am some sort of super selective OCD person. The thing I always go nuts on is getting the wiring really straight. Straight runs, wires crossing at 90 degrees etc. Pedal looks fantastic btw.
Nicely done as always. Cool graphics and cleanly built inside.
Very nice build, love the graphic. Really have to start getting into artwork for my builds.
Good to see the OCD thing is common practice, and certainly must be evolutionary. I orient all my cap labels the same way and generally colour code my wiring the same way, but I haven't got to resistor orientation yet, although I'm sure it's coming.
That is a beauty; even the 9v v3207 one I built is the best chorus I've personally had the chance to play.
Oh wow, you are much braver than I am! No sockets on the ICs...

I know. I saw the MN3101 all non socketed and I was like... glad it fired up first time! I would very much dislike removing that sucker.

simple low part count project- I'm sure he breadboarded it first.

Inspired by this half an hour ago, I went back and retrospectively added a Road Rage to my v3 porker..sounds just as good bit more headroom which is handy :)
Really cool graphic!
I knew that the effect is awesome and I'm reasonably competent at soldering so I didn't bother socketing this one. Just to give my confidence a nice rattle it didn't work properly first time. A couple of 1k resistors had made it in there when they should have been 100k...
Very nice build and I love the graphics.
Nice job! You definitely have a unique style all your own. I can't wait to finish my pork barrel. I'm checking the mail box twice a day waiting for parts. Maybe tomorrow... :P
Nice build dude.
Nice lady too.
In my experience Goth girls tend to look a bit different to her :-X ;D
Lol, it was a small enclosure...
LOL :D :D ;D
There is a reason they usually hang out in dark places...
I better stop now :D
First time I've clicked on your blog dude. Some cool stuff there!
How you liking the Ampmaker kit? Seriously tempted to do another myself, but am leaning towards the PP-18 at the mo.
Two words: DO IT!
If you are gigging then the 18Watter may be a good way to go.
The SE-5A sounds really good with my Les Paul, plus a booster goosing the input a bit.
For clean tones, you can't really go wrong with the WF-55 (I think its called that)
Anyway, to cut to the chase... I HIGHLY recommend Ampmaker stuff ;D
An 18 watter is going to be my first foray into amp building. Was hoping for 2012, but looks more like early 2013 now.
Tasty and Sexy as usual! 8)
I'm also a victim of having all my resistors in the same order and having the band matching.....also for NP caps, so the writting on them is always oriented the same....
I finished/tested my Current Lover earlier this week...., only thing i did'nt solder directly to pcb is the MN3007....., now removing the socket ;D
I think that it comes to a point where you want your pcb populating to be professional as possible and also reliability......
I have a friend who play in Heaven's Cry, a prog rock band, they went in Europe for prog festival....he had one of my klones on his board...and his overall tone is based on that pedal..........Well....went they hit the stage, he setup all his stuff, went to fire up the Klone........nothing.............................
Chances are that it's true-bypass, because he would have needed to take is whole pedal board apart...
Once the show finish, he takes the Chimaera off the board, open it up...........Charge Pump had popped out of his socket.......Lesson Learned!
Yeah, things I know are going to be gigged I tend to want to solder everything in for reliabilities sake. The lad I made the CE-2 for (fella who made my head cab and is currently making me a 2x10) certainly will gig it so, yep, that's another reason I soldered it in. I solder them in on all the Klones I've sold also. My own stuff I tend not to bother unless I know it's a keeper.

Yup, made the Double Six. I just fancied doing another ;) The Double Six is REALLY good if you want a low wattage primarily clean amp.
Of course; I totally forgot about that build mate.
Double Six is next on the list for me (when it is back in stock).
That will take the Ampmaker tally up to 3 (someone please cure my addiction!).
I looked into sourcing my own parts etc. for a custom build... but with Ampmakers prices you can't really go wrong (or beat it).
Likewise. I looked into pricing it up and there's actually not a lot of saving in sourcing it all yourself. Especially as most of it would come from Barry anyhow ;)
Might build the PP-18 as an SL-18 anyhow, to make it a little more interesting... He's out of stock of them also at the min :(
