ok, my first completed madbean peadal.
great stuff! thank you all

made the pcb at a small electronic store in Lisbon.
some componets already had from previous projects, box, swtich and stuff all from musikding
the other project (hope soon here) is the, guess what!, the aristocrat. also a octafuzz coming up

decided to do the layout like the ocd, not the kind of pacient guy for this stuff. Instead of fulltone you can read 'Luistone' (yeah, i'm Luís!)

and now, some pictures!

put all components ready to solder


cleaning pcb


drilling and testing


box painting


pcb populated


wiring


final work and working


after some troubleshooting, it's working (bad capacitors?)
comment =)

Now that Build-report is just as awsome as the actual pedal ypu've built! great job!

Nice build and congrats. What is the cleaning(etching) solution? I don't think I have seen blue before.

[bandit]

thanks, it's just cleaning.
the etching was done by professional people (don't have the time for that!  )

after i've got the pcb, there was a thin layer over the cooper that i think protected it against the acid. the lady at the store told me to use alcohol to remove it after drilling the pcb.

I've always meant to do a step by step picture series of a pedal coming together (first resistors then capacitors, etc) but everytime I sit down to work on it, I only think of it like 4 hours later as I'm drilling the enclosure....
