Breadboard station for pedals/audio projects

Post by bobiron »

Here is my new breadboard for pedals and audio based projects. Been meaning to finish this for a while, but just painted it over the holidays....mmmm John Deere Green my favorite.

It has sockets for inputs and outputs and power, power and bypass switches, plus a zillion holes for pots and switches as required.

Thanks I was waiting for that one, the toaster attachment is still being designed. I know there is not much to see here but it may inspire someone else to build one as I saw this idea executed by someone else too.

That's so cool.

A few months back I was digging around in my electronics boxes and realising I can't find any of my old Breadboards and then I realised that DSE don't stock them anymore which made me sad.

The addition of a proper set of plugs and pots is a great idea for prototyping pedals though, must put that in the memory bank for when I get back round to playing with the soldering iron again

Its for prototyping small pedal circuits without using solder, i.e. with the solderless breadboard.

Thanks Kev et all, of course a fuzz must be built first, but I need to build a Ruby test amp and a test oscillator first....oh and procure a silly scope too.

Very sweet. Yeah, I was planning one of these a while back, but never got to building it. You may just have inspired me.

this, so hard to actually prototype stuff when you've got loosely wired pots and switches hanging around the circuit and stuff

I'd be tempted to build the Ruby into the Breadboard station

Yeah good idea, but what if I want to gig the Ruby?
