My Timmy and Tim clones are on vero but used pcbs for this one.
But I don't think it will fit into a 1590B enclosure. Here's a pic of the vero, a capacitor that's yet to be soldered on (actually there are two of these to go on) a pot and the mini switch that will sit between the 4 pots:
Because of the two 47uF electrolytic caps and the (red) wima 1uF caps that will be soldered on, the overall height of the components + vero is about 15mm. The pots will use about 10mm height when in the enclosure so that would be 25mm needed if the vero sits on top of the pots. The inside of the 1590B is 25mm, so no clearance!
I guess I could re-do the 47uF electrolytic caps and bend them down but I can't do that for the red 1uF caps, and there is also a tall green cap on there too below left of the IC socket.
Solder the output cap onto the output jack
Solder the bass cut cap onto the pot
Neither cap needs to be on the board
Why's that green cap so big, what voltage is it 400V or something ?
You didn't need a 39nf cap, 40nf is the common garden value and there will be no difference as like resistors caps are made to a tolerance ... your 39n cap could be 5% each way, so 40n with 5% is close enough
One 47uf cap can go on the DC socket, the other one doesn't need to be anywhere near 4uf ... probably get away with nothing there unless your gonna run the pedal off the worse unregulated pound shop power supply
...and it worked first time! :-)
I think it must be beer o'clock!
It took me a long time figuring out if all my components and the veroboard would fit inside of a 1590B enclosure, and I wasn't sure what the best layout would be so I made one out of cardboard:
This allowed me to do a sanity check because I didn't want to mess up a nice new Hammond box. So, this afternoon I got to use my new centre punch and stepped drill bit and drilled out the real thing:
Now, before I go ahead and solder it all in I want to decorate the enclosure and this is where I need some advice. I'm going to go for the cheesy retro effect and use Posca Pens (https://www.cultpens.com/c/q/brands/uni-ball/uni-markers/uni-posca-markers) to draw directly on the aluminium enclosure and then seal it. So my questions are:
Edit - another question:
Finishing a pedal is probably the most time consuming aspect, that's why I generally just buy a painted box now and put the transfer on.
