Vicious Cricket WARNING VERO CONTENT!!!! NOW WITH NOISE!!!

[jimilee]

This is my first vero project evar!!!! I chose the noisy cricket for testing pedals because,although it's convenient,my ipod touch with my irig is just too many cables and adapters. This was quite the learning experience for me,had a few solder bridges to sort out surprisingly,apparently it's easier to create the than I though on vero. The only mod I did was a switch for bass or guitar, pretty straight forward this one.The housing is just a project box from Radioshack,didn;t want to waste a good metal box on this one,I just grounded both jacks and we're good to go.The soldering is smooth and easy though,looking forward to a few more vero projects.

Lovely stuff Jim!

Those little amps are surprisingly loud running into a big cab.

I haven't used vero in a while, but it is certainly 'instant gratification'.

You can get a layout and build a circuit all within an evening, rather than wait for 6 weeks for some prototype PCB's to arrive, by which time your attention has already moved on to something else (talking from my own experience  ).

Looks awesome! I love the knobs and the big ol' switches.

Thanks,I got the knobs from Tayda and so far don't like the way they look on stomps, Grit and power switch came from bitches love my switches and bass / guitar switch came from radioshack too.

I like em big knobs on pedals.

Looks nice.

Yep tonight or tomorrow. The cleanest is really clean and the dirty is pretty smooth.

Very  cool. I've never used Vero myself. What size and impedance speaker do you run it through?

Well tonight I ran it through an 8ohm line 6 10" speaker. I use it as a floor wedge. It sounded really clear and clean,color me srprised. I'm going to do a video tomorrow I think. The layout came from tagboard effects. there are a couple of videos with it running through a marshall 4x12 cabinet. Like I said earlier,it's really just for testing pedals and goofing around.

Somebody asked for an audio clip so I did it bump.

Ive been meaning to bust one of these for awhile now. Sounds really good Jimi!
Vero wasn't so bad huh? I like soldering on those strips, I find it forgiving and I love how compact it can get.
Whats the bass/guitar switch? Input cap?

Yep input cap switch.

Nice.  I need one of these.  My 18 watt is just too loud for knockin' around after hours.

BTW, you must be the reason why Tayda is always out of stock on those knobs

MAYBE!! I bought about 6 or 8 of each. Not crazy about them, but they look ok on some projects so far.

stupid question time!! what's "vero"?
