Title: L.E.M. & The Guvnor
Post by: juansolo on January 16, 2013, 07:59:12 PM
L.E.M.

This is the first half of a pedal re-house that I was never happy with the internals of. This one is the GuitarPCB Lunar Module clone with the two trimmers as pots like a LM DLX.

The other notable thing about this build is that it's on a black enclosure. I really don't like doing these as it means using white labels which are a bit of a pain to deal with. However we have a new supplier for labels so thought we'd give it another go. Yep, it's still a PITA.

The Guvnor

Built for Martin of MJW Amps using a Tonepad Gonader (really) board etched by Haberdasher.

It's odd that we've never got around to building one of these. It's just one of those that's passed us by. I like it, so will probably end up making one for me.

Love that Guvnor...what's the IC on those anyway?

Happiness is a freshly etched Haberdasher board...still in honeymoon mode with my Cosmo even though I finished it this summer! Keefe, I need to think of an excuse to order something from you again.

Those are both awesome! Bit of a shame all the knobs are set to "zero" though, crank those mothers! The wiring on The Guvnor is sick, so tidy!
