Re: Inkscape and Gimp - Tips and Templates for Stompboxes

After some research i have a tip for noobs like me to make simple vectors to make our stompboxes look nicer. The tool to use is "Create Tiled Clone" at the Edit-> Clone menu. You can use whatever you want, dots, traces, stars, and so on ... There are several ways of doing this, i will expl...

Re: BAJA Real Tube Drive pedal project [documentation]

The 30 Amp fusewire I use is approximately 1mm in diameter - it makes a nice rigid assembly. Most Electrical wholesalers stock it here in NZ. Failing that try solid tinned copper wire from your local electronics store. cheers bajaman Thanks!!!! I don't know why but fuse wire doesn't seem to be stoc...

Re: BAJA Real Tube Drive pedal project [documentation]

Grathan, there isn't much wiring to do ! If you check the pcb i believe that there are only 3 wires to connect, one of them is used to ground the chassis ( near the 3pdt switch) and the other two to connect the led near the 7915. Great, now if I only knew where the components went I'd be all set. :...

Re: BAJA Real Tube Drive pedal project [documentation]

I am having trouble finding fuse wire where i am. Could I just use solid copper wire instead? What size would be good for this? I can not find a diameter for 30 amp fuse wire. :scratch: Fuse wire ? Why do you want fuse wire ? Sorry... i'm a bit lost ! I just use stranded wire for my stopmbox builds...

Re: BAJA Real Tube Drive pedal project [documentation]

Well. thanks. ;)
It's easier and cheaper to redraw the pcb to use more common used pcb jacks than order just a pair of them.
In this build i will bend the leads and use epoxy glue to hold the jacks to the pcb.

First, i want to thank Bajaman for this great project. [smilie=a_goodjob.gif] I'm not a TubeDriver lover but i decided to build this one because the sounds samples are great and building a tube pedal that fits an Hammond 1950BB enclosure it's awesome ! I'm having some problems to find the correct au...

I haven't built the DWBH one so I don't know how it sounds.
It works but it's not a "real" S.Duper.
If you want the closest as possible to the original do not choose that one and read the comments on the other layouts available.

I'm trying to get some help on this : http://www.phpbbserver.com/freestompbox ... stompboxes

Can anyone compare the components between the Tonepad and the Fulltone version ? My Tyco Octafuzz is not so "octave" like the Fulltone samples....

Thanks.

Since some wires are missing or disconnected, i'm looking for the schematics to see if i can save it. I also want to ask to someone who have done this kind of jobs if it's possible to disable the bypa...
