Title: BJFe.org Folk Boost/Buffer Project -- The Cherry Buster
Post by: cajone5 on February 03, 2013, 11:19:42 PM
At long last, my Cherry Buster is finally complete -- although I put the wrong date inside   ::)

It's an always on buster with variable input and output impedance along with a boost.  The controls, left to right, are input Z, boost (bigger knob), output Z.  It was a group project on the BJFe forums that I helped set up along with help from Bjorn on the circuit design, Donner on enclosures and a friend, Bill, on board layout. I sourced boards and parts for "kits" for several folks and did the build docs.  If anyone might be interested in boards I have a few extras (I need to ship a few more out to folks who expressed interest way back when that I just now realized I never shipped  ??? yikes) and I can post the build docs.  I will post something in the FS forum soon when I figure out how many I have left.

Anyway, it was definitely a lot to fit in one box but I'm really happy with how it all worked out.  Pretty clean although it could probably be cleaner -- I'm used to having more space to work with.  Anyway, here it is in all its glory.  Gonna get a spot at the front of the chain if/when I ever wire up my board
