I made some PCBs for the ROG Thunderbird, being legit and following Brian Tremblay's licensing agreement (think i might sell a few). I tried to follow good layout technique, but to be honest, all i know is to try to keep the power separate from the signal, then after a while of routing, that is out the door (I think i ran the Vcc right under one of the voltage diodes).
First build sounded amazing, but had a high pitch noise, and the white noise was too much. Tried shielding and that did not work, finally figured out I have bad batch of LT1054's (ebay) (5 KHz switching freq) and once i found a good charge pump, it was much more quiet. I'm going to avoid charge pumps for a while, struggling with bad ones in a few other builds (although TC1044SPCA's at mouser are like $1 right now).
Anyway, this thing sounds awesome, and super loud. Octagon enclosure, water slide decal, graphic I got from a "one sixth warrior" forum, a guy in korea made a 1/6 scale jimmy page with this suit and I found his suit graphic. I wish i could still find the photos of it, it was insane, little Jimmy with little LP and pedal. I'm trying to pay him as well if I sell them, but he's not responding.

The pics aren't working, but it certainly sounds like a great build.
ah crap! stupid google photos. I hope it's working now. I'm signed out of google and can see them.
Nice! Cool design. But are you also going to pay Jimmy Page for using his name? ;D
Is the wiring complete? There's a jumper to that middle row, assuming you just haven't wired up the LED?
That's fantastic looking.

cool
That's some incredible attention to detail. Well done!
It is a very loud circuit.
Haha, i should try! Yeah, I had not put in the led yet.

Juansolo did something cool with a noisegate on a thunderbird build. The thunderbird is notoriously noisy.
Wow! That's beautiful.
Just loving the artwork here. Great job!!!
