Title: Harmonic Overdriver thanks to Lubdar
Post by: Dminner on September 20, 2016, 02:31:46 PM
I didn't really do much on this...but it turned out cool.  I bought something from Lubdar recently and he was awesome and threw in a loaded circuit.  He did all of the real work.  I just made an enclosure and loaded it.  But I did wire all the jacks and the footswitch board to the pcb (for that I even used fancy ass wiring like I have seen on here haha)  ;D

Very cool effect.  It is his evil fuzz/interstellar overdriver/harmonic transformer hybrid thingy.

That is awesome. I love the enclosure, they're always super impressive.

Great job! As always the enclosure is beautiful. Great job on the wiring too!

thanks man!  Sometime I need to find someone that can help me build a MINI with the layout you posted on your site  ;)

What do you need? Just a board etched? Etched an populated?

I normally do labor trade with people. I make two enclosures and they make two circuits :)

I was getting ready to buy a mini the other day and noticed you had a schematic

great work as per usual Dan. I hope the day never comes that you figure out electronics. This would mean a stop to awesome enclosures for the rest of us ;)

I am going to try my first solo build in a couple of weeks.  Ordering components is a bit overwhelming, but a buddy on here is helping by putting me a component kit together :)

Heh, I hear ya on that!!!I have so many extra components from not knowing how to read things correctly or doublecheck what I first started ordering. You probably already know, but if you're in it for the long haul I'd suggest buying bags of resistors.  SOOO many times I purchased 20 resistors to later learn that buying the bag of 200  would cost the same as 25 resistors...

Best,
  Lubdar

It's a learning experience. That's what I tell myself on my many, many oversights and screw-ups.

Dminner, awesome work as usual. I'm not sure that it's yours, though -- I can't see any wires going to the pots and switches! ;) :) ;)

Haha, he wired that part. But off board wasn't nessecary. As long as there is room for at least one oversized knob I'm happy ;)

Actually I recently bought a new pedalboard and I starting to realize my love of huge things doesn't always work out so well haha.

I am actually loving this 125b size since it is small and allows for top mounted stuff :)

I went though this same thing when I first started building. I love HUGE pedals but when you start stacking them and wanting to travel with them it becomes cumbersome quickly. This pedal came out great!

yeah, that is exactly it...travel.  I bought the board so I could easily travel to a buddies how to play...I have 2 two knob pedals in 1590dds!  Haha, they look cool though.

Ha, that beast of apocalypse pedal probably could have been in a smaller enclosure, but the artwork....
I've got a couple b sized enclosures I think I'll designing things with small size in mind for the future.
