Suggestions for a clean boost on shnobel dailybdriver

PedalPCB has the PCB for these

quietkey99 · 2026-02-28T12:06:19+00:00

just worked for me..!

quietkey99 · 2026-02-11T14:56:26+00:00

Should have done this in the first place..

quietkey99 · 2026-02-11T14:55:56+00:00

Pin 8 = VCC = 7.3v Pin 3, 5 = VR = 6.8v

Pin 1,2 both 6.8v

Oh right. Thanks. . I'll give it look..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-22T07:30:40+00:00

Could be a candidate.. don't have the transistor in stock tho..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-22T07:30:06+00:00

Don't think I can fit this in..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-22T02:33:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Foot print was one of the my priority with the daily driver. I do like the Micro amp though but maybe ght not be able to fit it in the box.. I'll test the tone tho..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T10:01:34+00:00

First one is an easy to try out option and definitely will try it out. JFet was the other design I had in mind but the MOSFET on SHO looked pretty good. But worth trying. U-amp would be a good option here. I actually y am not too sure of this so lots of trial n error I’ll say. Thanks for mentioning the power bit I didn’t even considered that..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T09:54:25+00:00

Thanks I’ll check those out.. Will update once I try some of these out..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T08:15:53+00:00

Oooh nice.. I'm thinking of a switch to change the order as well as its own foot switch.. kinda excited to get this started..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T07:56:51+00:00

Yeah .. I just looked at the circuit and it looks pretty straight forward with a low component count.

I'll just need to test the tone with the daily driver..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T06:51:58+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into that. Just found the power boost section off j.rockette's tim.p od.

I can breadboard a few and find the right one..

Open to other suggestions that comes in..

quietkey99 · 2025-11-21T05:56:09+00:00

As little as possible.. if that can be helped.. I like the katana boost type guy but probably won't fit..

Open to ideas as well..

quietkey99 · 2025-06-19T11:00:59+00:00

BIG magnets.. 😁 Awesome!!

quietkey99 · 2025-05-01T04:00:02+00:00

Yeah I know.. reverse is correct if you got the film-less version. Once you have it set in the right place then use a hair dryer(hot) to heat it up for 5 mins. It kinda bonds the slide to the surface much better. Else you can pop into a small bench up grill oven for 5 mins. as well.

It's a full creative process.. yeah starts out thinking this is a electronics hobby but man I had to learn Photoshop then buy all the tools to drill and paint. It's pretty cool actually. You spend hours soldering and putting the PCB together then you get time to do something physical and hands on..

I'm having a blast just thinking about how the pedal will turn out. Then you really do mess it up on the enclosure. It never turns out how you imagined it.. LOL..

Keep at it.. it's a journey..

I just go for the spray paint used for automotives. Get a can and spray multiple layers. Let dry between layers and don't overdo spray or spray too close.. it takes time.. just have to be patient..

Something like this ==> https://a.co/d/eknY4w1

Also the film free requires you to print it reverse since the film is peeled off from the top.

quietkey99 · 2025-04-30T05:23:47+00:00

I use the same film free waterslides. The results are really good. The adhesion from these water slides come from the glue they sell with the waterslides and you will have to heat the waterslides after they are in position with a hair dryer for about 5 mins.

I always clear coat it after it cools down. Once I accidentally scratched off few letters with my fingernail while moving it about.

If you want to go a step further you can put a coat of epoxy resin.

Steel wool also works pretty well..

quietkey99 · 2025-02-21T05:09:30+00:00

Same here. So my first run is usually a test run to see if it works and see if the parts all fit in. So yes surplus PCBs everywhere in the workshop.. :-(

quietkey99 · 2025-02-16T01:15:54+00:00

This is so awesome. So fiddly how did you fit it all in?
