Just to offset the amplifier posts for the pedal folks - here’s a set of three Tone Benders that I just finished. By a set I mean a MKI, MKII and a MKIII - and no I did not include a MK1.5.
Off-board wiring for positive ground with the battery draw and LED can be found here and if you want to get a really fancy, tips on cable lacing can be found here.
The enclosure is a Hammond Eddystone available from RS. Instructions for how to do a battery cut-out using simple hand tools can be found here
It's too neat, I really like it. It's even better than many "handmade boutique" pedals that cost several hundred dollars. I'm almost embarrassed to put my own "messy layout" on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ding - I'm sure your messy layout sounds just fine, and probably doesn't look as bad as you make out. You have a blog as well?
DeleteThose came out fantastic! Would love to hear a sound sample if you have time. I don't think I've ever built a mkIII, hmmmmm... :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks. Sorry - no decent sound samples, apart from a clip on my instagram with a MKII. They've all been shipped to a customer.
DeleteYou should build a MKIII. By far the easiest in terms of transistor selection and the results are always satisfying.
The MKI was a little beast and ran very quiet. Zero noise, care of Q3 acting as a noise gate.
