nick Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Thought I'd post a bit on an SFT clone I've been building for Bassbod This is the third one I've built so far, previous two I did on veroboard, but thought I'd try a ready made PCB from [url="http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/Faultline/docs/Faulltline_ver1.pdf"]Madbean[/url] Got the already painted box from Banzai (Duncan wanted purple ). Drilled holes etc... just waiting the knobs to arrive. Wired up the switch, jacksockets & pots. As opposed to the schematic, went for a reverse 1m log for gain & 100k linear for volume, as with previous builds all the warmth & grindy action was bunched up at the top end of the pots travel. The build worked great first time no issue. However, as per many recommendations on Freestompboxes & Madbean, this thing opens up with more headroom when powered by 18 volts. So I'm going to add this little voltage doubler inside. Next steps; wiring up the voltage doubler, tidy up wires with some wraps, fit knobs, battery compartment... To be continued.

Gareth Hughes Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Nice one. I love my SFT - tis a lovely pedal, with an inspiring sound. Fair play - I'm in awe of folks that can get their head around stuff like this. I regularly plague Bigwan with newbie questions and 'what if?'s. Any soundclips coming?
