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
i'm working on veroboard for first time and i made a huge mistake: i did the whole work "mirrored", i mean, the components are all in the same position, also the jumpers, and everything; but mirrored (as if this view of the components side, were the copper side view...). my understanding tells me than there is no problem, but i`m a beginner and im afraid, hehe. is there any problem??? ah, i`m building the meathead and sorry for my terrible english, i usually speak spanish
You're not the first to do that and you won't be the last so don't worry. As long as its a transistor circuit, there's no problem it should still work. The problem arises when you do it with an IC build which can't be mirrored due to different pins on different sides.
Built one, but swapped Bass 1 with Bass 3 and Plus 1 with Plus 3 to have an increase of bass and volume when turning the pots clockwise. A 10K log might better for Plus. Anyway, this one is verified.
Swapped the Bass labels , but for plus... The lug 1 goes to ground, so swapping those would definitely mean that the sweep is in reverse. Are you sure about the lug numbering? Here's the convention we use... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Eu1vuXVH3UM/TzGNIkeLuAI/AAAAAAAAAlM/h7re0CGH6A8/s1600/Pot20numbering.jpg +m
wow, killer demo.
ReplyDeleteOnly one i could find with original unit :)

Sorry, just checked again. The plus was a mistake in my build.
DeleteWould there be a possibility to raise the boost level by changing a component?
ReplyDeletetry using a smaller resistor in place of the 470 ohm
Deletewould there be a simple mod to have volume, gain, treble, and bass controls?
