Title: RustBucket
Post by: MADWAGNER on April 12, 2016, 08:32:28 PM
I finally finished my RustBucket, and it sounds awesome. I think it's my favorite pedal I've built. I biased it rather quickly. I turned the blend all the way up, picked my guitar, and rotated the trimmer until a got strong glorious swell. I'll probably fine tune it later today, and label the pots. But it sounds great as it is.

Great build.. this is still a PCB that I really want to do but really am afraid of messing it up... I have been sitting on a PCB since release. lol

You made it look easy man. Great job.

Thanks Cody!
I went slow with it and measured every resistor. The hardest part was ordering all the different IC's. Some I had never used in a build before. And I had order an 18 volt wall wart. But it all went pretty smoothly.

Thanks man! I used nail polish and acrylics. I want to start using decals soon. I'd like
to get a more polished look eventually.
