Pork Barrel v3

[LaceSensor]

Built this today.
From scratch it was about 4 hours work.

Kept it simple for now, Ive subsequently written on "1983" on the top in blue marker pen
Did the flashy LED mod with a 10k resistor, works really nicely.
Fired up second time as I had the 1n4001 in the wrong way round. It was getting nicely toasty









Thanks for making the porker 1590b, Brian.
Next time I might be adventurous and use a Road Rage for the first time...

Nice! I got a finished Porkbarrel waiting for an enclosure, spend some time playing through it today and I love it! Did you notice you got more depth with the flashing LED mod? If so, I might still do it before boxing it up....

Didnt test it, as I wanted the flashy led regardless.
I did try and 22k and felt 10k was better but its subtle.

I dont go for really deep chorus settings anyway.

Love this circuit!  Nice build and super fast time too!

Nice build lace, i like the blue led!  Where did you get that hammond enclosure from?  Are they pricey?

Clean. I would have left it without graphics probably, but 1983 is pretty appropriate.

Hey

You can get a nice selection from Rapid UK
The B are about £8, so significantly more, but they are nicely finished, and are genuine Hammond.
BB are I think £9.50. They also do a size which is equivalent to 1790ns, which is nice for bigger stuff for example I made the Meatsphere in that size. Its the BBXL one on Rapid, around £11 somthing.

Actually here is a link

Enjoy!

Cheers. Im in 2 minds. I might see if I can find an appropriate 80s sticker sometime.
1983 is my birthyear and also damn appropriate for this
Cool thing is I keep isopropanol and itll take the marker pen straight off so its win win til I decide / finalise.

I'm glad you posted this! I'm working on mine these days and was not sure whether to do R5 as a standing resistor or not. I see you did so I think I will go that route.

Some of the ICs from your holiday PIF will be used on mine by the way! Not to mention the Millenium Bypass board...

Seems there are a lot of Porkers being built lately!  Good thing, 'cause they sound amazing! I did R5 standing up as well, and learned a lesson: standing resistors go on the board last! Man it was in the way while trying to solder in the caps, diodes and other stuff!

Oh man, I think you just saved me some serious trouble! I set that one aside to wait and see how it compares to everything else, height-wise. Sounds like it should basically go in last.

When I looked at Marauder's recent build report, it seemed like he managed to get it flat. I wonder if he put it to the side of the through-holes rather than directly over.

Lace and Paul, did you two use v3207s or MN3007s?

[LaceSensor]

Mn3007 / Mn3101

I can get the pair for <£3 in the UK, genuine NOS.

and yeah I did the standup, 1 teepee for the 33r (I only had 22r and 10r and couldnt be bothered to go to the local electronics rip off store)

[LaceSensor]

used this at rehearsal last night sounded so good
love the rate led too

I used a v3207, after reading all the posts about "magic" IC's here (MN3005/3007 etc) I decided to use the readily available, cheaper versions, at least for now. I'm no experienced builder at all, so I'm more than satisfied if a pedal actually works! Maybe in the future I'll get picky with IC's. Same thing happened with guitar strings: when I just started playing I was happy if I managed to get them on my guitar, now I swear I can feel and hear the differences between brands......

Nice build man!

Just out of curiosity (newb here), why socket the transistors?
