Had this board sitting around for what feels like forever, i even have a second fully populated doing nothing right now, but anyway - here's the build (sorry no gut shot at the moment);

Sent you a PM regarding this board, still no reply. Would it be possible to buy one?

Thanks

Will this also be produced as a fabbed board in the future? I ask because im curious with future releases will there be the option to either etch our own or buy the fabbed versions?

Thanks

Got the collectors edition pre-ordered. Pedal building will be on hold for quite some time!

Have you perhaps got the battery's + lead on the wrong lug of the dc jack? Try swapping them around.

I'm sure you can do your own easily mate its not rocket science, hell I didn't even use heat shrink! Just some electrical tape.

Started with 2 small squares of tape and put the legs through the tape peircing it and bringing them upto the bases of the ldr and the led. I then placed both of them together and wound some more around it tightly making sure there was no leaking of light.

If I get time I'll to a pictorial.

Great Sucess! Here's my little experiment;



So i bought another VTL5C3 to test if i had received a dud, still the same sound.

I got me a VTL5C9 and voila! Working like a charm!

Also Rolled my own up top and am kinda stuck between that and the VTL5C9, both sound fantastic!

So not much of a real update here, I've ordered a vtl5c9 and I'm going to roll some of my own and test this out. The plan is to set the ldr's up on my bread board and use hookup wire to jumper them to the pcb. I'll post my results here and I'm open to any other sugestions to test out.

Sounds more like the tremorama and less like the ooh wah.

Thanks but the tapers are linear and im using 100kb's They are listed on the schematic.

Bump for ideas! Thinking maybe the opto isn't working as it should? I'm really stumped on this one, I've etched another to test out we'll see what happens there but some input from anyone who's sucessfully got this going would be great.

So i just finished my Dig Dug! But alas i have some trouble, seems that the filter and all of the range pots have little effect until they are in the very end of their turn. Works great at full turn but all i get is that - Speed knob works great though! Im wondering if its actually the IC's im using that are causing the problem.

IC1 - HCF4017BE
IC2 - HEF4093BP

I have ordered what i now hope are the correct IC's per naming convention anyway. As far as other parts go they are all original values including the LDR VTL5C3.

I see no wiring problems or no solder bridges, all input is welcome.

All in for me i'd say it ran me £30-40 + 3 hours. Wads of change! £220 i beleive in the UK for one.

Got this just done, working great. Need to get more time with it tomorrow when its not 1am! I'll paint it at a later date.

Here's some porn;

Hmm,

the longer lead is + (anode), the shorter one on the flat side of the led - (cathode). The cathode should go in the square pad.

Wouldn't always go by that rule, i've had many LED's where it has been the opposite, by looking at the LED the cathode is the flatest (largest) part visible in the LED. Always best to check that than go with the legs.
