My Audio Lab - Moon Boost
« on: September 24, 2011, 05:06:19 AM »
My apologies if it's uncool to post builds from other companies?

Anyway, I found this guy from France who's business is called 'My Audio Lab'. Ordered a couple of his guitar effects PCBs. Built this one today. It's a SHO style boost (hence the name). Sounds good!

Nick.

You are welcome to post any DIY related builds, of course! This one looks great...that knob...mother of god!

Well... I think the knob suits the name also ;)

Cool build.

It's interesting how all of the parts are mounted right onto a PCB that mounts to the switch. That's a clever design. I'll have to try that sometime...

I agree; thats a pretty cool idea having the board mounted on the footswitch.

Makes parts placement etc less flexible though I guess.

Nice knob too (reminds me of a moog)!

Mounting the footswitch to the PCB is good because a) it reduces a lot of the wiring involved with a true bypass switch, and b) saves you having to work out a way to seat the PCB in the case without it shorting on anything.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I agree. The only reason I can think of that it isn't done more often, like board-mounted pots, is that maybe the physical force of the footswitch might be jarring to the solder joints.

BTW, I can't wait for those relay switching boards Aziltz is working up.

Absolutely, and occasionally those 3 pole switches do die and to replace one mounted to the board you have to desolder it from the board which is a bit of a pain. I'll try my luck!

The whole theme really makes me laugh. I must admit its very clean with the footswitch attached like that. Great job!!

Flixiblity is the biggest issue.  But now this has me churning about having the footswitch AND the pots BOTH being board mounted.
