did you buy a pcb from madbean? if so, use the first layout.

if you are using an etched board use the second layout.

hope that helps.

Nice, I like the 8/octave theme. Clever

Very tidy!

The brushed case adds a bit of class too.

Looks cool.
Had chance to rock them yet?

1590a builds are not so bad once you get the switch and jacks wired in. Check out Pickdropper's guide if you haven't already.http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=8671.0

Looks great for a first build! I'm looking forward to your Buzzaround.

This morning I just finished off a tagboard Clark Gainster clone. I made the board last year, based off the turretboard layout here http://circuitworkshop.com/forum/index.php?topic=249.0.

It's not the tidiest but it took a while to find out where to put everything and I originally used a 10x2 board but found I only needed a 6x2 board. I improvised a piggyback daughterboard for the opamp.

Values are stock and I changed the ceramic cap to a mica between rocking it and boxing it. The enclosure is a gold hammertone 125b which I originally panned to use for a Kingslayer (that one will get a metallic gold case instead), still got room for a battery

I'm probably going to change the knobs for either some brown Fender cupcakes or black retro type.

Oh yeah, and it sounds awesome!







ARF!

Good to hear you're getting good tones!
Those Systech pedals get great Schenker tones eh?
I almost bought the Systech Overdrive once, which has a tone control that's like bandpass boost so it's similar to the Harmonic energizer. Lots and Zappa and Schenker in that one too.

As for the porkbarrel, I'm using a road rage for the 15v.
When I turn the depth up to about 1 o'clock I get distortion/clock noise in time with the LFO.

I removed the board from the case to see if it was interference from the dc jack and the led but that didn't help much. I even removed the roadrage and put it in its own enclosure, still no help.
I've used a 1 spot and a Voodoo Labs PP2+.
I seem to remember that it was ok running the roadrage from a battery but I'll need to try that again, I'm sure it will drain batteries pretty quickly though.

I might just build another roadrage and try that too.

Very Sweet!

I like the honey LED too.

Care to share?

I've got a touch of distortion on my porkbarrel when I run it at 9v, its clean at 15v (though that brings other problems). I have the LFO mod too.

Think of it this way, you did your bit for trying to stop the vintage pedal madness.

nice take on the original design.

now only if you could straighten up that ceramic cap;D

nah I'm kidding
sweet build.

thanks again!
the switches are the standard red ones from mammoth and the colored rubber caps are from small bear, they just push on.

Just mentioning this as I don't think it's been asked yet, is the transformer the right way around?

Nice man,
Super clean and your graphic style is unique.
The blue/silver one would look great on my pedalboard
