Pork Barrel #2 | Hot Cake

Another couple finished up over the weekend.  A hot cake clone and a second pork barrel with blue LEDs this time.  The chorus uses MN3007 and 3101 chips and a 3PRR to get 12v to the board.  It also has the clear bottom plate and a 10mm LED inside that pulses with the rate control making the bottom plate light up.  Kinda cool.  After playing with both 9 and 12v there is little difference to my ears (same comment in the build doc).  Maybe a bit more headroom and clarity at 12v but it could just be placebo effect.

CE-2 (didn't take a good outside shot... or inside shot actually... my iPhone camera skills suck)





Hot Cake w/ some slight mods





Not much to say.  They both sound great.  I'll be keeping this chorus and likely sending the other to my friends father who is a guitarist.  He inspired me to start playing which is great and I still remember about 5 years ago when I was building effects having a conversation with him about the CE-2 and how he really liked it.  I told him I'd build him one then life happened, several moves and no time to build.  I'm glad I finally got this one completed.  I'll send him the one I put in the BOTY contest except I will unbox it and spray the black box with some silver and/or black hammertone or something to spruce it up.  I don't mind stuff for me being plain but when it's for others, I feel guilty :)

Very tidy builds. Love the transparant bottom on the CE-2. Is that illuminated?

Yep. See the top area near the jacks, there's a 10mm blue led there that pulses with the rate. Kinda cool and something a little different.

Beautiful builds!  Did you make the clear plate?

CE-2 looks sick!

How do you get 12v out of the Road Rage? Is it just using a L7812 regulator, a 12v Zener in D4, and using the 15+ output?

That's sick!

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

That is a great idea!
