Ok, so i´m proud to share with all of you guys my first Final build (waiting from some components from ebay to finish 3 more ;D )
I had initial problems with a lot of noise coming out from the box but the problem was a crap/cheap power transformer.
Any advice on a nice DIY transf unit?
Change it to battery power and the result was awesome!!!
Combining this pedal to my tubemeister 18 and a marshall cab 2x12" loaded with greenbacks it´s a explosive combination!
Thx Madbean! I love It!!
So after rock it it was time to box it and without the 1590b I improvise and It is the results...
PCB - used magazine paper

the heart ( i wrap the battery and the board with a bubbles bag to avoid any shorts)

after this photos i add a led, at the moment using it without a truebypass but after the new switches arrive i change it.
so hope you enjoy... i´m loving it!

That's a really cool enclosure. Thanks for sharing.
Cool stuff dude, truly unique! Nice box.....

Nifty. I'd keep expecting a jack-in-the-box to spring out.
Thx guys
yea the tea box enclosure gives a nice look! hhehe
I have an supposable replacement for the oc44 transistor that I will try it. It's a af200 germanium trans as well but instead of 3 pin like this ac128 it as a 4pin for the case itself that as to be grounded... what I think will produce less hi gain noise! Let´s see...
what do you mean by "jack-in-the-box to spring out" ? reverb?
sorry i´m from portugal... Never had problems with the English but some expressions....
And what an diy power supply for the pedals?
Jack in the box

One of my favorite circuits in a tea tin. I love this! :)

heheheeh
This build is much simpler than the blue delay that I have waiting to finish.. but the sound is awesome... just hope that the pt2399 arrive quickly hehe
Pedals are great... but the ones that we build have a complete different taste!!
Merry Christmas to all
congrats. That's a great and unique first build. Keep them coming.
Well done, especially with first time build being a self etch! Enjoy 8)
As for a power supply, a lot of guys use the Visual Sound One Spot for pedals... however the rangemaster wont play nicely with other pedals in a daisy chain, so battery might be the best option for now
wow! I love the creativity and that is quite an etch for your first time. I have yet to get one to look so good...
Thx guys
here is a video recorded with the cell.. bad playing and my daughter playing around! Hehehe
Dang, nice job for a first or hell a 100th for that matter.
Whatever you do if you get a one spot it MUST be regulated.
Excellent box.

2 jacks in that box !!!
well..... welcome to the club. now you got the poison in your veins.
after the first build we all come running back with the shakes like a crack whore
might as well take advantage of Brians shipping deals on multiple pcb's !
Want to be really ruined ?
take a peek at Beavis's web page
yea! that´s right! The poison as reach here! heheh
it oblige to read a lot of stuff, making a lot of miles to found some components, a few hours on the attic but it F*** worth every minutes!
happy new year to all.... with a lot of builds!!!

they have there a noisy cricket amp.... hummm... next build?!?!
whats your opinion on this cricket?
reports show the thing driving some big speakers and sounding good doing it !
i built one with not so good of luck. I should of known better, I should of breadboarded it first.
instead i crammed it all in a box and blew a cap. now i need to do a teardown and find where i went wrong.
Lots of cool things on Beav's page
It seems a nice build!
Yes there are a lots of cool builds on the website.
I don't know how to read schematics and start the build... not yet! and there are some builds like this amp but with an 12ax7 that are very nice but without the pcb transfer.... it´s a little bit more complicated for me

I bought the tiny giant kit, smart looking kit, and cheap with all the components! Haven't built it up yet, probably should get one that soon:/
