Do you ever find yourself a little bored and killing time with Eagle? Well, I have. And here is the result. It's an MXR Distortion+ with plenty of clipping options. You've got your schottky, silicon, transistor and LED clippers with a switch to go between symmetrical and asymmetrical for all of them. Or it can run with no diode clipping. Nine different clipping combo's, hence the name Distortion 9. I also threw in a Fat switch as an afterthought.
It was originally meant to be all board mounted (except the Fat switch) switches and pots to fit in a 1590A. But I underestimated the width of the switches and they wouldn't fit in line. So I spread it out for a 1590B.

Wow looks like a very versatile OD. You SMD guys are insane.

This is cool.
And yes, SMD guys are insane.

Awesome! What's your favorite setting?
Love the switches space work around- the only give away is the silkscreen. Oh, and that you told us. :)
Sweet job on the c3 wires. Also, amazing that you have parts on both sides but only one via. I know the thru holes are carrying some of that work, but still.
Speaking of which, i think thru hole is crazier than smd, all that lead clipping, hole drilling, etc. (still cool though!)
I may be a little nuts, but smd has nothing to do with it. I think. :)

Oh, and super slick nod to the original color and graphics.
Love the little tag between the switch leads too.

Thanks guys. I also used SMT caps on the Fat switch. They fit nice between the lugs of the DPDT.

Quote from: wgc on July 25, 2014, 12:02:44 PMProbably asymmetrical silicon. Basically the same thing I built months ago without all the switches on a single-sided etched board. Which makes me wonder how I ended up with 2 vias on this one. They are both stitching GND from one side to the other. Here's my Captain Peyote etched SMD Distortion+ board.

Clean, clean, clean inside and out! Very nice!
Where are you sourcing the round nuts for the stomp switch?
Thanks

Who, me? ;D
Bloody tidy work, for the amount of clipping options going on!

Thanks dudes.
Here's a shot of one of the SMT caps on the Fat switch. It's kinda bridged in there. A 1206 package would probably work much better.
