Here is his message to me when I asked for the transfer, not realizing he wanted $10 for it:

Hello!

Thank you for your interest for this PCB. I've used 2 Belton Brick's medium & long Decay. In atachment you can find some sound samples made in this chain: guitar-reverb pedal-amplifier-headfone out (amplifier) - line in PC. Hope you like them.
Price for pdf layout - 10$ (payable via paypal).
Best regards,
Sorin

I should have a pcb layout by the end of the week - based on the GGG and his - that I will post for free for everyone. Thank goodness he posted such detailed pics - and I saved them to my HD !

I have no place here where everybody is perfect and want everything free; had to read the rules before posting here. Mr administrators, please delete my account. Thank you very much.

This kills me. "Can you pay me for copying someone else's work?"

Here's my layout that I'm working on based on the GGG/Hermida layout. It is unverified, but I will be etching this weekend.
I'll gladly post the transfer file to scale after building it.
Or if anyone's interested I'd gladly just post the expresspcb file.

Regards,

Steve

I'd just looked at ordering the GGG board and it's OOS, a pdf or the like would be wickid pissah (as they say around these here parts)

Found some critical errors in my layout so I deleted the file. Just an FYI.
Will post a corrected file if anyone's interested although Daniel's layout seems pretty complete.

It was a quick and dirty layout in DIYLC. If anyone wants to improve on it before I get to it - have at it. There are some traces that are different sizes etc. typically I like 'em a bit neater.

And hey - if anyone wants to paypal me 10$ every time they download that would be cool too !! (APRIL FOOLS !!!!)

I was going to clean this up in Express, but what are all the unused pads for? Which ones are the ones for the level pot?

I was looking at a schem for this and comparing it to the byoc reverb schem with the added dwell and tone pots. Could this be easily added to the layout?

I haven't looked the BYOC schematic - but if it's just a matter of replacing specific resistors with pots then I don't see why not.

There is a bit more going on with the BYOC version. Not just a couple of pots. The Tone control is a Big Muff tone control with flat mids. In all honesty, it's not that useful. It's kind of a choice between bass and treble.

Here is the schematic - Beware, as BYOC stuff often has errors on the schematics:

Yeah, probably best to keep it simple. The long decay brick sounds best to me.

Hey Barcode,

You ever get this re-laid out in Express ?

What's it gonna take....10$ per layout ? <LOL>

I don't do any etching (yet?) but I wanted to build this one. I found a vero-layout.

I think I've seen Harald on this forum as well. Can't remember his username though. But thanks Harald. I wanted to make the brick board mounted and to make it fit in a 1590B. I didn't want a one knob 1590BB! So I took the layout and made some changes to it.

It works and it fits. But it's not very pretty! If you are truly, madly and deeply in love with jumpers, you have to give this one a try! If you hate jumpers, this will be your own little personal purgatory...

I'm sure it can be done much better than this. But that's how I did it, and I thought why no share it anyway.

that is a really cool idea.

Oh I forgot. You can solder the brick in directly or you can cut a standart op-amp socket in half and connect it that way. I don't think the "precission" sockets work though - it has to be this type: http://www.banzaimusic.com/8-pin-Dual-Leaf-socket.html

Even if you don't socket the brick there is still enough room to socket the ic's if you want.
