Bixonic Expandora

[zombiesonore]

Hello everyone!A guy asked me for a clone of a Bixonic Expandora, which I didn't know about, and I've discovered an interesting circuit.I designed a PCB and ordered it with OSH Park. I've choose to use a 2P4T rotary switch in place of the original internal DIP switches.
Everything turns great and you can see the results.
I've 1 PCB left over If someone is interested.
Thanks for reading!

Congrats on a tidy build.

Holy crap that's a clean build.  Very simple and elegant looking inside and out.

That looks really great, nice job.

Good idea to use the rotary switch.  Is "bite" like the Ruetz mod on rats?  How effective is it? Do you notice anything when in "forbidden" mode?

Cool looking box, great looking PCB. What did you use for the opto? H11F1? I might be interested in that spare board by the way.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
The sticker is plain because the buyer just wanted it like that. I like to do simple and clean but I also like to put some graphics with it... another time... Maybe for the one I will build for myself ;-)

Is "bite" like the Ruetz mod on rats?  How effective is it? Do you notice anything when in "forbidden" mode?

Yes "bite" is the Ruetz mod. I find it very effective in the 3 "normal" gain mode. In "Forbiden/insane" mode it does strictly nothing.

What did you use for the opto? H11F1? I might be interested in that spare board by the way.

No, I've used H11F3. Banzaimusic have it. If you want a board, shoot me a PM. I've paid $29.85 for 3 boards, so 10$ + shipping for a board? For the rotary switch you'll need an AlphaSR1712F-0204. Mouser sells them.
