Beauties!  I like the unusual LED placement.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

But the thought of all that SMD work... eeeek!

It wasn't too bad.  I like the trade-off of not having to bend and clip leads.

Nice bunch of builds, man.

Howdy fellas.  Another build that wouldn't have happened for me if not for the good people of the MB forum.  It's pretty much straight from the schematics and info JOK3RX posted for the Dragon Armor.  So thanks to him and all the people at FSB that were involved in taking this from a picture of a PCB to a working schematic to a finished build.  The result is I have a new favorite metal pedal.

I was doing a couple 18v layouts so I also did up a little voltage-doubler board.  ICL7660 on one side and LT1054 on the other with spots for regulators for 12 or 15 volts.

Super clean work on the board, and the enclosure is awesome, how did you do it? Printed decal?

Thanks.  Yeah, it's just a waterslide decal.  I ran the box under a 3M burr wheel to give it a poor-boy polish.  No sanding or painting and the decal sticks to it surprisingly well.

Sweet man, how do it sound?

Plenty of fuzz.  I've never used a FF or Sil TB so I can't compare it to them.

You're gonna jump in on one these right, Jimi?  Come to the darkside?

Hey Madbeaners!  I don't normally post over here but being that this is in the Madbean family and it seems there is some love over here for SMD I thought I'd toss this up.

It's the No Mo Jo Fuzz from the Function fundraiser bundle.  I used MMBT2222's on both sides and used an on/on/on DPDT for Fuzz Face/both/Tonebender settings.  Both together are a little over the top but it's do-able.  Thumbs up to pickdropper for a sweet layout.

Great build, man.  All around.

Very nice!!!  I'm planning on doing a Chunk Chunk when the boards are available again.  This info will be a great help.  Thanks a lot!!!
