With the parts count and complexity of a 4 stage Ross phaser, you still used relatively bulky through-hole resistors, caps and IC's to fit it in there. What circuit would have a high enough parts count to make through-hole parts nonviable, needing you to work in all SMD to fit it within a 1590A chassis?

I don't think there is one tbh.. the only reason I did the ross is cos I love the sound of it so much, I didn't want to lose it when I moved to my 1590a board. smd have sometimes become a necessary evil (here on the ross, and on the dr. boogey for trim pots), but they're certainly not my go to. the trim pots weren't so hard actually.

years ago I used to solder smd stuff all day for a living, and it's a piece of cake with a) the right kit and/or b) done in a timely manner. the time it takes for me to get to a board after I've etched it means sulphur attacks the copper making it tougher to solder to.. not so bad with the bulk of discrete components but smd really needs a good clean surface.. if I had some decent liquid flux like I used to have in my job I'd be happy, but I don't. so instead I paint the copper and the heat from the iron melts the paint, but it's still nowhere near as clean as a nice bit of copper that's been fluxed... a nail polish type brush of flux along a 100leg smd chip and I could just skip the iron along the legs following the solder in a second or two... flux=win... harder to find these days though

the latest result of my co-op with Jez5 from welly, a madbean loophole looper into a parametric eq.,.

[GrantB]

Very nice ...

[alanp]

Impressive lookin' thing, I'm assuming you included the Detune feature?

How are you going to label the controls?

[Kev77]

I never label nuffin - Didnt do the detune, I have it on another looper

[Cdog]

Woo that looks like fun, nice enclosure!
Any guts to show us bro?

Moar diy pedal spam:

Lavache (Les Lius but better)

Deep Blue Delay clone with trails and buffered bypass

[Snarblinge]

very perdy

[SammyD]

Very very cool. Would love to hear the Lavache.

[Cdog]

thanks dudes
both are handpainted by my belov'd. sam the lavache is really tasty... plain and simple good tone. i'm gonna build a couple of these i reckon, we should do 'nutha gearfest sometime

[Kev77]

is that delay a pt chip or what? looks cool

[Cdog]

PT2399... its a fabbed pcb based on the sea urchin by madbean, which is a clone of the Mad Professor 'Deep Blue Delay', which in turn is a tasty mod of the Rebote. Dark musical repeats, self oscillation, etc... Lots of fun, very usable

[SammyD]

Yeah I'm up for the next gearfest now cricket season has ended can't say I have much new gear though... maybe a good excuse to buy some lol

[Cdog]

Mogwai Boy's custom Distortron...

Switchable Kl0n output buffer/tru bypass
Hi/lo gain switch
Bass response knob
Lots of fiddly wiring, but all jacks up top and room for a battery!
