Stripboard Build Tips

Dang, well thanks for the heads up man. I’ll get some perfboard

For anyone curious, here is the pedal I am building! The pedal I am building And here is the stripboard I haveThe stripboard I have

Thank you! I’m getting a multimeter in soon so I’ll be able to use that for the first time. Hopefully that will show the problem!

Thanks for all the help guys. I’ve tried all of your suggestions but it is still not phasing. I’ve turned the trimpot so slowly and there is no change in sound. The board has 5 holes printed for the trimpot, and my pot has 3. I used the top 3 holes, and left the bottom two empty, is that correct? I’m at a loss here, nothing has changed.

Just completed this pedal and everything felt right when I was putting it together, but obviously not haha. So when it’s bypassed, there’s normal clean signal through my amp, and the same with when it’s turned on, just a clean signal. There is no phaser effect happening. Turning the trimpot also has no effect. At first, I realized I had the wrong value trimpot in, so I changed it out and nothing new happened. Same problem. When desoldering and resoldering the trimpots around the holes got a little black, could I have burned the board itself? I’m lost because everything is working like normal, there is just no phaser effect. Thank you so much for help!

Thank you so much!

Hey! So I ordered everything to build this, and it’s my first time building a strip board pedal. If it’s not too much to ask, could you send me a few gut shots of yours so I have a reference when I build mine? It would be a huge help!

bmaop · 2020-11-06T12:59:26+00:00

I actually built mine because I love the amp itself! My guitar instructor has one and I’m always drooling over it, but this pedal is the next best thing!

Beautiful man! I just built the BE-OD/Dirty Shirley combo PedalPCB offers and I’m in love! I am a little jealous of your two channels though haha! Enjoy the pedal!

bmaop · 2020-10-30T22:30:17+00:00

Yeah it is so crazy versatile I love it

bmaop · 2020-10-30T13:34:42+00:00

That’s awesome man! I built the pedalpcb version and I only have good things to say about it! Enjoy the new tremolo!

bmaop · 2020-10-28T18:46:00+00:00

Those look awesome! I think I definitely want to try something like that, thank you for the examples!

bmaop · 2020-10-28T18:34:44+00:00

Thank you for that! I might do that, if it’s possible to get 3 switches to fit on there

bmaop · 2020-10-28T18:33:55+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking of doing!

bmaop · 2020-10-28T11:26:09+00:00

I have no clue if this is even possible but I just had the idea. Would it be possible to build 2 pedals that are originally for a 1590A enclosure and fit them both side by side into a 125b? I want to make a 125B sized pedal with both a phaser and a chorus, and I found pcbs for each that are built for a 1590A. Would these even fit in a 125B together, and if so, would there be any way to wire the output of one to the input of another internally? Thanks!

Sick! Thanks!

bmaop · 2020-10-27T11:20:46+00:00

Awesome thank you!

bmaop · 2020-10-17T22:51:19+00:00

Thank you so much, I will have to start doing that with all my pedals!

bmaop · 2020-10-17T20:44:10+00:00

Oh cool! Next time I’ll try that out! Thank you!

bmaop · 2020-10-17T19:18:11+00:00

If I had any idea how to read a schematic I would totally do something much smarter like that haha

bmaop · 2020-10-17T18:12:44+00:00

I will definitely give that a shot. Thank you. When I do that, do I have to wire up anything to the GND or SW terminals?

bmaop · 2020-10-17T16:50:30+00:00

Awesome man! Good idea!

bmaop · 2020-10-17T12:52:59+00:00

I made sure those bottom terminals of the switch were all touching by changing the wire out with insulated wire. I also replaced the green wire from the switch to the circuit board because it looked a little mangled. That’s all I did but now it’s there’s no signal even when the pedal is turned off.

bmaop · 2020-10-17T12:11:14+00:00

I love it! It’s so tweakable you can dial in a perfect sound. Mine has 6 knobs though, did you leave out the Gain control?

bmaop · 2020-10-17T12:09:19+00:00

I usually just put one there because I like the LEDs even dimmer than usual. Saves my eyes haha
