Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals. Enjoy the builds and please also visit us on Facebook and Twitter
Another one to keep you busy for a while. This version is the effect only and no gate so you'll have to use an ISP Decimator or something with it if it's noisy :o)
180pf instead of 2n at Q5,is really really better !! I tried 2n7000 instead BS170 for all transistors,this is little more accurate. I'll try 220nf input capacitor,to use it with a bass. I will keep you informed of what happens.
Never mind I answered this one myself!! I have to say though, between this and the Dr. Boogie, I'm really disappointed in the Triple Wreck!! I hope it's still something I've done wrong but haven't found the mistake yet!!
I put a Vero layout with a working gate over at freestompboxes http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3911&p=247046#p247046 Please build and comment. It works fine for me, but it needs some fine tuning.
I can't see stuff on freestompboxes, don't have permission or something...cannot be bothered to sign up for another blog. This one is the one for me. Can you upload it to here for the scrutiny of the fine community? Thanks sir!
Just built the vero version on freestompboxes with gate and it works fine although bass doesn't seem to do much? Just got to figure out how to squeeze it all into the 1590B box!!!!
Verified,works great !!

Any update?
ReplyDeleteThe Bass mods with the 220nf,works fine !
ReplyDeleteAre the 2n7000 better than BS170?
ReplyDeleteNot really...
ReplyDeleteBoth works fine,2n7000 sounds more tight and makes the Box of Metal a little bit more accurate,but that's all.
Amy chance of seeing a drawn layout for the gate part also??
ReplyDeleteJust wondering where the other lugs of the Gain pot connect to?? Hope this one works out better than the Triple Wreck!!!

Cheers Thommo.
I've been wondering that myself. Do the empty lugs connect to ground? Thanks.
DeleteYes,it's Gain 1 & 2 to ground.
DeleteWhat is trimmer for?
ReplyDeleteIt allows you to set the gain for Q5, too much will be noisy so it will let you fine tune it.
DeleteThanks. :-)
DeleteSorry, but i have some silly question, what is the thing on the top of Q5? The 5k with 3 pin on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is 9v1 Zener?
thx alot
It's a 5K trimmer, and a 9V1 zener is a 9.1V zener diode. You'll find both for pennies on eBay.
DeleteCant find any trimmer and 9v1 here.
ReplyDeletecould i swap it with something else?
Thanks
What wattage should i use for the 9v1 zener diode?
ReplyDeleteAnd how can i deal with the noise later? Since i dont have any noise reducer or decimator
Thx btw

Hi,
ReplyDeleteGreat vero, thanks. Just one question tho, my bass pot seems to do nothing, everything else is just fine. Any idea ?
