Also, the sell the stuff he uses for $50 (http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/sto...ductId=2113244) but I have no idea if that's about how much that stuff costs or if it is a mark up of a kit. Here are links to 2 tutorials I did on on making your own PCBs on 2 other forums. Its all pretty much the same info on each forum although the second link has a few other details added. I've been making my own PCBs for about 5 years now. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum....php?t=1420953 http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/t...-pcb-tutorial/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members currynoodles Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 My second attempt on painting. I'm not sure if I got it right. What painting process do you guys follow? A Naga Viper build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ShortScaleMike Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 Soldering Irons in the UK. I always recommend this, which is amazing. Replacement iron tips and even irons are reasonable. I have built several hundred pedals with this iron:Used to be cheaper but still a good dealhttp://www.circuitspecialists.eu/70w...2901-p-14.htmlLooks like a decent cheaper optionhttp://www.circuitspecialists.eu/csi...ion-p-266.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tape Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 the beginnings of one. what I hope will eventually be this: that board is just the bare minimum so I can start interfacing with kinds of RAM, the ADC and the DAC. once I know what of those I'm using, I'll design another board with those directly on it. such a looper is 25% hardware and 75% software.

Members Matt Gnarly Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 That looks silly awesome tape, I've been wanting something to replace my M9 (only use the looper on it), this would probably do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WeStartToDrift Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Working on this: It is a three-stager with two 3904s and a BC547. Has a gain control between the first and second stage, VR2 is connected between the emitter of Q2 and ground, and there is a volume control. It sounds huge, but also can get splatty and weird. I might add a sag control too. I just have it on the breadboard, so no cool enclosure shots yet. This is just the mockup.

Members woolyh Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thinking of having two fully loaded Strat pickguards to swap between and I'm trying to work out a way I can swap them over without the need for a soldering iron.Any ideas? It would just be linking up the input wires to the output jack so maybe there is some kind of socket I could solder to each end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 You could use screw terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
