Τhanks for the reply. Just what I was afraid of. I kinda knew it, but I had hopes. Either way, I think I'll buy one and see what comes out. I'll keep you guys posted.

I have used a similar module, but the step down version to regulate down from 14 V to 9V and it works great.
No problems with hum so far for me.
Maybe you give it a try and see. They are obviously pretty cheap.
Yes indeed they are! I would give it a try eventually, but I just wanted to see what you guys think about them and if anyone who has used them, had hum problems.  ;)

But that's a good sign! Thanks cooder! :)

*bump*

Noone?  :(
Maybe I'll try to build this thing either way, and see...

So... I was wondering. I have this wall-wart 5V power supply that I don't use at all and I lack a pedalboard power supply. And I found these modules. They can step up anything higher than 2.5V with decent output current. And the output is adjustable. So with the same module, you can have any voltage (up to ~32V). And this could also work for a portable pedalboard with a 5V USB power bank (I think RobA posted a similar idea like a year ago). They would be great if the DC ripple is not too high. What do you think? :)

Thank you guys!  ;D

Is there any interest in you, making this? Do you want me to post schematics and maybe PCB (if I find the time - I'm a working man now!  :P ) for this? If so, tell me so and I'll make a thread in Member Projects and Tutorials section. And maybe together, we can make it even better!

Nice find! That sounds cool! I'll just wait to see what you, designer-guys, come up with!  :)

Yes guys! We did have fun and we did spend a lot less money for rehearsals! I stopped playing with that band, but I sold it to them and it still serves them right until now.  :) It's a great solution for guys like us, who don't have money for studio rehearsals, but do have electronic drum sets. :P

I haven't designed a PCB, but the whole thing is made up from three different circuits:
1) GGG's Mini Mixer with 10 inputs (or whatever number of inputs you need :P ), leading to
2) A TDA2050 amplifier circuit (like the single supply one in the datasheet), to
3) A simple Splitter/Buffer for 1 input / 6 outputs.

It's quite simple. If I made this thing, anyone can make it. :D

That engraving looks awesome. I honestly thought it was laser engraved!
I also had to serve in the army for half a year. Was the biggest waste of time ever
No no! But I wish I had a laser engraver or a CNC machine..  ;D
Indeed, the biggest waste of time. This delayed my studies for almost a year.  :-\
However, it was nice to learn living away from your parents and home (I'm 22 yo, I still live with my parents) and meeting new people.  :)

Thank you! It's good to be back, guys!  :)

Build Reports / Hawaiian Boost - Bacon Bits
February 08, 2015, 12:31:54 PM
Hey guys! At last! After a lot of time, I post a build report! I've been away of building pedals the year that passed, because I served my duties in the Greek Army. Yes, it's mandatory for every Greek  man older than 18 years old to serve in the army for 9-12 months. So, I've been away from home, and building.
However, I did follow your builds here on the forum, and it made me want to build more!  ;D

So, I'm back.. With a build that I'm very proud of! It's a simple pedal, but the engraving job on it is quite perfect, I think!  But you'll be the judges! ;)

Here it is: the Hawaiian Boost!  :D I used the Hawaiian Airlines logo as you'll see. The engraving was really difficult, and my arm was aching for days.. ::)







Hope you like it!  :)
