Sunking

[plesur]

Here's some pictures of my Sunking build. Managed to get it in a 125B quite easily. Just don't call it a Klon, that's the name of the company! 

I'm a sucker for top jacks, more space on the pedal board. 

Many thanks to Brian for the great PCB.

Awesome, I like top jacks too...  The gold paint seems to add more tone too!

very nice build.

[eniacmike]

that looks awesome.. what is the name of that font? I love the way it looks.

Very nice build mate!

Nice and clean and a bit different from normal I think!

I have ordered a sunking board as well... although the BOM is a major PITA 

I'm intrigued to see what all the fuss is about with this circuit.

How does it sound to you?

[gtr2]

O yeah, whats the led mounted in?

Thanks for the compliments 

The font is Deutsch Gothic http://www.dafont.com/deutsch-gothic.font?text=centaur and it's free.

The LED bezel is from Banzai http://www.banzaimusic.com/LED-Socket-5-IN-BK.html a bit expensive but a quality one.

You're right about the BOM being a PITA, I had to order from Mouser for the first time to get some of the funky resistor values. I made sure I ordered some other strange components at the same time, like those little trimpots for the Aquaboy. Still, it all adds to the authenticity.

As far as the sound goes, I've only played it through Guitar Rig and my stereo but as far as I can tell it's a pretty transparent overdrive, it doesn't seem to affect the guitar tone too much. I've got no idea how it compares to the sound of the 'real thing' and I probably never will. The closest I've come to one was at a Sonic Youth gig.

Very nice build. Sehr schön und ordentlich. So muß es sein.    I've not seen ICL7660SCPA at Banzai. Where did you get it?

[plesur]

The 7660's right there for €1,01 http://www.banzaimusic.com/ICL7660-SCPA.html

Same here brother!!!!!!Thing that sucks though is that I've got most of the parts so just to wait for the couple of days is killing me Peace. J.J.B.

Lol after sending several death threats and hate mail (j/k) my sunking finally showed up! Took me a about three hours to put it all together and it totally rocks!! I will start my own thread soon; having trouble getting it off my pedal board to take pictures. I can't stop playing it!!!
