Etcher's Paradise - Release Announcements

[matmosphere]

That is just badass Brian thanks! I'll probably buy the pcb if I decide to build one though.

If we're talking about crazy layouts, I'm pretty sure RG Keen did a layout for the Ludwig Phase 2 that is pretty insane. And a vero layout on top of that.

Awesome additions to the etcher's paradise!  Luvs me some EHX pedals!


edit:  noticed the many un-verified projects.  I'll make it a priority to verify some of these!

Some are verified but not listed as such. I really need to update that part.

I've verified the Deadringer Jr, Boneyard, and Aquaboy - BL. Super pumped there are more projects added. I've tried the Ankh twice and both failed for me, but never got any further on debugging. Would love to hear if anyone figures this one out.

I'd like to tackle the horn dog and the band wrecker, but I have never tried etching. Maybe I need to drop a line to our resident hat specialist.

I love to etch, so if the status of the projects were updated, it would be nice.
My participation:
I've tried the Zygote, and I ran on 2 issues, one is that the Fuzz Pot is wired backward.
The other was a noise problem at max gain setting, I've never found if it was a problem from my build or from the circuit. I think it's not from the circuit because the problem was that I was hearing radio interference and it was unboxed...

D'oh! I'll fix that pot. Noise could be from being unboxed, also the lighting situation where you are building (certain types of lights can make a lot of noise on unshielded circuits).

Hi Madbean, thanks for all these recent additions!
I wanted to ask you what was your rules for single sided layout? Trace width, clearance, ground plane, I/O placement, etc. I make single sided layout with KiCad and I want to use your type of design as a kind of standard, to be able to share them with everyone here.

Trace width is usually 24mil except if it's really tight then I go down to 20mil. Ground plane is also 24mil width and isolation except when it's tight then I use 16mil width. I set my grid to the same thing for all layouts - 25 mill size with a multiplier of 4. I/O is generally 9v jack on the left and everything else in the middle (using the bypass supply pins in the MBP library). Sometimes it's a better layout to have the jack at the top but it gets a bit harder to route single sided boards that way in some cases.

Thanks!
I hope I'll be able to share some design soon.
