Thanks guys!

Three pots... sure, this just makes things simpler to determine the value being used or dial in the value needed. With pots you 'd need to take them out of the circuit to measure the value or set the value with a meter, with this you can read the resistance directly from the counters while in circuit and not much chance of getting nudged to a new value accidentally.

I used to really be with it!  That is, until they changed what "it" is.  Now, I can't find it.  And, I'm scared!  --  Homer Simpson's dad

Components look close....   ;)

Awesome work as always.  I can hardly fit a KLON in an oversided enclosure.   :P

More proof that pickdropper is not human!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.

Not a real Klon.   :icon_mrgreen:




I don't think I would even attempt to put a Klon in anything smaller than a 1590BB. I especially love the artwork. Sir Pickdropper (if you haven't been officially knighted you have now unofficially), you will always be one of my favorites.

EDIT: My wife was looking over my shoulder as I was drooling over the gutshot, and she just said "Why don't you build your pedals like that?"  :icon_redface:

Beautifully laid out PCB pickdropper I love it, but where the heck do you get 1/8th watt resistors from, I've been searching for ages and can only get my hands on 1M 1K 10K, that size.

There are quite a few places to get them from.  A while back, I got a nice 1/8W kit from eBay.  These days I buy them all from Mouser or Allied Electronics. Mouser has more values, but Allied has really good prices.  Make sure to verify the package size.  Some companies (like Vishay/Dale) have 1/8w resistors in the package size normally associated with 1/4w.

Check out Farnell, Mick.

Oh, sorry.  I missed the UK part.

Yeah, you can get 1/8's easily at Mouser... But, I am in the USA too...

Again North America, i use Digikey for most things, they've really extensive search filters so doing a search for 1k's, ≤0.138" in length returns  1/8, 1/6, 1/4 & 1/2w versions so maybe widening your search parameters will get you the size  resistor you need.

Thanks for the links guys, Farnell is good for me in the UK, I also have great results with mouser as long as my order is enough value they send to the UK free delivery and within 4 days I got my last order. Mouser has been the best USA to UK I have dealt with. Highly recommended. :)

I have been getting the 1/8 Watt size from bitsbox, although there 1/8th Watt size they are actually 1/4 watt resistors ? Strange but true. Limited range :(

I made a rebote delay 2.5, only adapted the copy cat layout, thanks solderman for that layout!. I tried to make a clock inspired etch.

I think mouser has a UK side too..

Hi, thanks for that guys!
made my first attemp with a reversed etch for a phase 90, kind of magic circle/moon cicle inspired, hope you like!



Cheers, Thomas
