Upcoming Yellow Cobra Compressor!

[k.rock!]

This is going to be the MOrC project from guitarpcb.com. I haven't received the PCB yet but I just finished laying out the graphics for it and it looks so cool that I got excited and wanted to share it with you guys!  

The enclosure is a 1590B in honey wheat yellow from mammoth. The graphics are just the waterslide decal kind

I'm hoping to receive the PCB next Monday/Tuesday so as soon as I get that I will post the gut shot!

Thanks for looking!

Here it is completed!! It was incredibly hard to get it into the 1590B...Specially cause I had some big 1uF WIMA caps in there...Sounds great!! Hope you guys like it!

Here it is next to the White Rhino (Egodriver )



Here's a gut shot I took at some point:



The finished guts . Had a few solder mishaps here and there but I was so desperate to play that I just cleaned it a little bit and gave up haha...(works perfectly though! )

Pretty cool!  What's the circuit based on?

Thanks Josh! It's a Modified Ross Compressor (MoRC) project at guitarpcb.com
What I'm not really sure is what the switch does yet   i tried asking that question in their forum with no luck...

Anywho, here's the PCB:

The switch bypasses R17, adds in R17 or adds both R18 and R17. Usually the circuit utilizes just R16 to affect the release of the comp, meaning the speed at which the sustain/compression effect lasts. Neat control that's easily introduced.

Cool! Thanks for clearing that up!

cool color scheme and drawing, i love those green knobs! you do know that cobras are not constrictors right?   well maybe they are in the pedal world.

lol! I did not know that!  hahah that's hilarious....Well I guess they are now! in the pedal world as you say, at least

My girlfriend drew that cartoon for me...I think she did a great job using the mac trackpad! I really suck at drawing in computers in general...

wow, with a track pad? it looks great.

Cool man! I really gotta learn how to do these waterslide decals. My first attempt was very pitiful.

yeah my first attempt I think I sprayed way to much of the clear coat and ended up with some little bubbles that looked like a rash hehe

It's not bad one you get the hang of it. I use the full face layout rather than cutting each labels, it's a lot easier and looks great. For this one I only sprayed 2 coats of clear on the label before applying, applied the graphics and let them dry for about an hour and then I sprayed 2 heavy coats with 1 hr in between. Give it a shot! I'm sure you'll do great

I mean the initial printing them out. The paper got stuck in my printer and fused to the roller..ughh I read the manual it says the paper must be able to withstand 356 degrees for 0.1 seconds. But none of the papers sold have anytype of spec sheets or anything like that. I got the right type of paper for my printer. Maybe i forgot to do the cardstock setting. Considering getting a printer that i know will work well with this, as this will make it possible for me to pump out enclosures.
I salvaged the printer this time but not sure i'll be so lucky if it happens again
