Build Reports / Blue Wave reverb ... in and out.

« on: July 23, 2020, 03:47:18 PM »

Hello people ... hope you´re all doing ok.
Just finished this BW reverb from effectslayouts... one of the pcbs I got from the past BOTY thanks to storybordist. Works like a charm. Image inspired by the Kanagawa illustration.

Again, thanks to Brian, storybordist and all sponsors for the botys.

Build Reports / Whole lotta Aion

« on: September 02, 2019, 02:42:12 AM »

Got these boards some time ago. Finally got around to making  something with them.
Stratus, TS based, went with the optional clipping and "flat mids" toggles.
Crescent, Crunch Box with optional 18v charge pump, also added.
Vector, Deep blue delay. Added a volume control or you might say boost. This one doesn´t have the mod onboard, but it should :wink:

Took quite a while, but I finaly got this finished.
Tagboardeffects Boneyard, with dual volume, gain and EQ controls, switchable via 4pdt. EQ boards modular so to use a single pole on switch. After that a  Thunderpuss boost.
Graphics are UV printed on an aluminum plate.

Build Reports / BOTY 2016 Sunking ... finally !

« on: July 16, 2017, 03:15:43 AM »

So I finally got around to building this. Thanks again to bigmufffuzzwizz for the pcb and Brian for hosting the botys.
Practicaly stock except for the tone cap (6n8). Diodes are germanium in the 0.25 Vf neighborhood.
I usually prefer the pcb with components facing up, but I went with on-board(ish) 16mm pots and flipped it .
The graphics are of a statue in Mexico City and several others called La Diana Cazadora (Hunter Diana). Took an image from the interwebs, GIMPed the heck out of it to get a kinda siluette and off to a local printing shop.
On-board gain and volume pots.. or something like that... used solid core wire to roll my own

Gutshot

La Diana Cazadora, I think this was the image I  used, don't remenber exactly

Build Reports / 80s(er) Chorus. MBP Pork barrel

« on: May 13, 2017, 04:39:46 PM »

MB Pork barrel. I didn't use the wet switch, instead I added a dpdt switch with 100n and 33n caps to increase rate (R20 in this layout) from this post:

Build Reports / Tagboardeffects 5KC

« on: April 24, 2017, 05:09:22 AM »

The very nice people (Mirosol in this case) drew up a layout with an added clean blend to the Ross/Keeley 4 knob compressor. tight fit for a 1590B, but doable.

And and independent board to add to any Ross based compressor:

Graphics are printed on an aluminum plate later drilled to match the enclosure.
