Stage centre reverb build (COMPLETE!)

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

:mental: Here is the beginnings of my attempt to build a reverb pedal that featured in a 1976 guitar player magazine.
Again, it is op amp powered with a little TL074 .

I don't have a printer or any way of making a nice pcb so I hand wired on perf board.hope this is ok.

Damn it...just realized I'm not gonna fit it all in that enclosure...
I'm going to at least need 170x120x55 mm. None in stock at RS and $40 at jaycar! Crapola.
