Riotous 2.0 to devils tone(second smt pedal)

[copachino]

well where do i start this, billy(WGC) designed a pedal i always wanted to build but with no luck, and his lovely project build caught my eyes, and ask him on the thread if he got any spare board to sell me, the many said the same and Billy redesing the board and carefully make a perfect beginners project, even the mouser cart, was so good, i had many trouble with the board, since i live outside US and a fedex cargo company ships from miami to my door, and the board got lost for a month or so, since the packet was small they didnt take it and forget about it, after that i forgot to but the pots, then i have many problems with the led, and got the bad idea to unsolder with a sucker pump, and lift a pad, the i got sound but no distortion, the i gave up on the board, and solder another one(this)the friend make me a great logo on photoshop and had some tiger red sparkle from mammoth, and got it to my trophey store, and etch the enclosure, but i did bad my corel layout and it wasnt center, then i drilled bad holes and had to wait for low profiles jacks to make the fit because the normal boss style i use on 1590a enclosure were to big.

finally after more than 4 months i have complete the project and woww so amazing i wish i was cleaver on enclosures since the clipping leds, bright so high on the board, that could look so amazing on a clear enclosure...











not so cool the drilling and the bad aligment, but man i love the pedals, ps... i did unsolder the cp resistor for the face melter, i didnt like that one

It sounds like everything that could go wrong did go wrong.  Nice job sticking with it and getting it finished.  Cool build, too.

haha, i know but its a really good start, for the smt soldering, and its kinda tricky but im so happy with the results.

thanks Billy

Yay!  Looks great, glad you got it working. You can probably save that other pcb if you add a jumper. At any rate, the next one will be that much easier.

Thrilled to see it and that you had so much persistence.

Soldering looks great for your second! May be unconventional, but if you heat up one side of a passive that has too much solder, you simply bang it on your workbench and the melted excess solder comes off. Pretty neat for clean up, but kinda violent. I'm working on my smd stuff too, it's not easy but very fun!!

i was considering in use this, but not on this pcb since i cant damage the board too hard to make it work for that jaa
