I built my Small Clone using Mark's layout. This in theory could fit in a 1590b but I wouldn't try it again, I used closed jacks and mounted the board with component side down but I still had to force it a little when screwing the lid, and it did felt wrong to me. But it sounds great. I included a Mix pot to reduce the wet signal which helps when using it with a bass.
I built my SFT using sabro's layout, this is another amp like overdrive which is often compared to the ROG Ginger as it also tries to emulate the sought after ampeg-near-break sound. I like this better and is my favourite bass overdrive so far. It has a great dynamic response, I feel like I can control the clipping with my playing style, more so if I use a pick. I think it may be because of the mu-amp jfet gain stages. The SFT is also very versatile with a wide range of tones going from mild overdrive to a doomy distortion, and has a massive amount of lows in it.
This is really a great sounding reverb designed by DeadAstronaut at diystompboxes. Go to the original thread to learn more about it. This has a couple of features not usually found in a reverb as buffered bypass with tails and feedback oscillation switch. It also has a unique mix control where you have to adjust the volume control depending on the mix to match effect/bypass volume.
I drew my own veroboard layout and built it with a medium belton brick, but with the decay and oscillation controls you can achieve a lot of depth effect.
This is how it looks at my first atemp doing a silverburst painting.
This is my verified layout. In the revised version added the need to ground PIN 2 and PIN 4 of the brick and removed and unnecessary cut.
This is a high gain beast with lot of knobs and wires. I went creative with the painting this time. Built using the layout by Harald Sabro. It had very bad RF interfence, really loud and clear radio signal bleeding in so I tried a common solution of adding a 100pF at the input to ground and it worked, I soldered it on the track side of the vero.
The Snow White Autowah is the best autowah I have tried, the Nurse Quacky and the Seamoon Funk Machine both have too much ripple in the decay, and the DOD FX25 lacks a bit in the envelope detection. The SWAW has good control over the effect and sounds fantastic.
As usual I used the layout by Mark at tagboareffects to build it, but modded it to have a sidechain input for the envelope detection, like in the Chunk System's Agent 00Funk. This feature helps a lot when you want to put the SWAW after a distortion or fuzz but responding to the original signal. I use a signal splitter with one output going to the fuzz and the other output to the sidechain input of the SWAW.
I used a switched jack for the sidechain input so it works as stock when nothing is connected to the sidechain.
This is my modded layout with the sidechain input, I canibalized Mark's layout so all the credits goes to him.
This is the layout for the signal splitter I built.
I recorded a video to demo some of my pedals, it contains crappy playing but I like the different sounds I can get with my toys. The audio is coming from that old radio on top of my pedalboard, it has a Punch 1W amp with a Simple CabSim and the original 4ohm speaker.
