I'd be up for a board as well. Fantastic demo!

[Pcb 1]

I just dusted off the old workbench and have 2 pcbs I can't identify.  I know with our pictures it'll be tough.  I'll work on uploading them.

Pcb 1 has "Santa distortion hohoho" on it
Pcb 2 has 7 diodes, 3 trim pots,  a dual gang gain pot,  along with bass/mid/treble & master pots. 



I'm stoked to be back at it and any help would be appreciated.

I think I have a spare Jfet matcher etch board I could throw your way if that helps any.  The other option would be to buy a matched pair from guitarpcb or other sources.

What is the additional jack at the top of the box for?  inquiring minds want  to know 

just mouth in hand guts? Still Glory 

question 
swirl first then drill? no worries scratch the swirl?

**Good Catch; edited to include guts.

Swirl first and then painters tape to protect he finish while drilling.  No issues.

I never post build reports, but this one was done for a friend.  The request was for a phaser and maybe something green & orange.   The thing sounds gorgeous, so lush and plenty of phase on tap.  The on/off indicator doubles as the rate indicator and is hidden within the clear shaft pot.  Its hard to tell but there is orange, silver, & green foil layered with  the swirl.

check out the PIG/P19, sounds great and the pedal description includes: "Specifically tuned to the sound of a block-buster 1979 album (okay, it's "The Wall") and emulates the "magic" 70's era fuzz pedal"

Looks terrific,  Gordo!  I really like your choice of knobs, the black really pulls out the little bit of black that's in the swirl.
Thanks for the mention also,  .

schematics are still up on the VFE facebook site

My recommendation would be to put it in a frame & wall mount it, get a new backplate.

Love it well done.  Where did you source those knobs?

Don't spray the back plate keep it raw.  No ones ever going to see it anyway.

Aren't the pads between the rate & depth pots for the switch?  They are labeled sqr/blank/sin.

I'd be interested in a board.  Do you have a link (& wiring guide). To the arcade buttons used?  What would the pcb cost (I'm in the US)

Thanks,
Jon

GuitarPCB sells "pcb mounts"  that attach to the PCB and use tape to attach to the enclosure.  http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/6644498

Foam tape is thick enough to act as a standoff AND double sided.
