Mxr Headphone Amp + ROG Condor Cab Sim

This is  my silence practice rig, it is an mxr heaphone amp (layout by mirosol) and a runoffgroove Condor Cab Sim in one 1590bb box. Each one has its own input and output jacks, but I used switched jacks and the output of the cab sim is internally connected to the input of the headphone amp when neither of them has a cable connected. This is not one of my best looking builds but its the most used one.

I did my own layout for the Condor, and included a switch to select between condor and marshall simulator. I used a bicolor led.

Deep Blue Delay with TAILS mod

Update 03/2015: see this post for and alternative daughter board.

I have modded my Deep Blue Delay because I really think that having tails is an essencial feature for a delay pedal. I took the idea from the Merlin's Small Time Delay. By adding a FET analog switch at the input of the PT2399 we can bypass the input of the IC while getting the output in form of tails.

The analog switch is in a daugther board. Terminals A & B are interchangeable in the main and daughter boards. Using a DPDT on/on and a 3PDT footswitch we can select between buffered bypass with tails and True Bypass.

Using the layout by Mark the mod include adding a cut, moving one leg of a resistor one row down and moving one 1uF cap. The A and B wires have to be soldered in the middle of the board instead of on the side but there is enough room for them without moving other components.

This is the layout with mods.

This is the daughter board with the off board wiring.

I built mine without the volume mod, and this is how it's looking, with a few scratches on the paint but I like it.

In this pic you can see the daughter board next to the output jack.

Ghost Echo Reverb

This is my first reverb. It has a nice feature with the attack pot which delay the reverb effect. This time I used a bright led and tried a new paint work in the enclosure. This is my best enclosure so far. The layout is from Harald Sabro at sabrotone.com

You can see the belton brick under the board. I added a few colums to the board and soldered the belton directly to it and used jumpers to make the connections to the pins.

PC Timmy Overdrive

This is a really good overdrive with a lot of tonal options and different clipping settings. As usual, I took the layout from Mark at Guitar FX layouts. I'm getting better with my decals save from that little scracth near the footswitch.

Mictester Really Cheap Compressor

This is a really simple Optical Compressor designed by Mictester on freestompboxes.org. Go to the thread there to read more about it. I used the layout for the bass version by IVIark. This is my first 1590A enclosure and I really love how it looks, and how it sounds!!!
