It never ceases to amaze me how many bootweakers can't even do something as simple as a board layout. Shit, for a dirt box you could just throw parts on at random with fucked up trace routing and still probably not end up with many problems.

I just wanted point out that the "Home of Heavy Guitars" gave Whitesnake the 2011 Album of the Year.

First:

Did I read that correctly? Did the guitarist for Whitesnake/Dio DESIGN the pedal? As in... did HE rip off the GGG design?

Second:

Did anyone else notice the "blacked out" portions of the boards? Wonder what thats all about?

Doesn't look like goop. More like a "slight discoloration" thanks to MS Paint!

He´s been workin´on a pedal with a killer tone "

2 years for a TS with Miniamp : great work...
I think he´s a better guitarplayer than "pedal designer"...at least

349:99 USD for custom paint-

I believe what we are witnessing here, ladies and gents, is the WORST STANDOFF METHOD OF ALL TIME

I don't think you could have done something less effective with a brillo pad

wow, this dude really knows shredder endorsement deals move more pedals.

I think I like this majik box better.

Hey Guys

There was a couple errors in the previous...namely the green and yellow wires needed to be swapped out and two caps on the overdrive board needed to be orientated in the opposite positions with ground facing the edge of the board. Thanks to boby6kiler for pointing this out. I deleted the old files in the directory and uploaded the correct one's.

This is a link to the correct layout -

This is a link to the entire new slide show and I included the schematics and stripboard layouts that should be correct.

I'm very interesting in the Rocket Fuel pedal, the only veroboard layout is in that link above. Can someone tell me if the layout is verified for sure?

I found an alternative layout for protoboard, but is still unverified: http://effectslayouts.blogspot.it/2016/ ... -fuel.html

Thanks a lot!
