Mesa Grid Slammer

Here's a vero layout based on my own tracing of the original Mesa Grid Slammer pedal. Unfortunatly it's nothing more then a TS-9 clone with a different diode clipping configuration, but a good sounding overdrive non the less.

Dimension P Chorus

Bild
Here is a PT2399 based chorus by Distorque. I was a bit hesitant about this one because of the PT2399, but it sounds great. Very lush and deep. :) Original thread   here .  If anyone wonders, depth lugs 1&2 are supposed to connect from two point on the board. It's not a typo :) Fredrik Lyxzén · dimension_p_chorus

Simple buffer and phaser inverter

Bild
Here is a small utility board - a simple buffer followed by a phase inverter. You can take the output from either stage. It can be very useful if you are adding a clean blend to a circuit that is inverting the phase.  I recommend putting this in front of your main effect, but keep in mind that not all effects will respond the same with a buffer in front.  I didn't include polarity protection, DC filtering and an output capacitor since this is meant to be used together with another effect (not stand alone). This circuit is pretty much opamp basics 1. Could possibly be improved with some filtering caps.

LED VU meter

Bild
Here's a fun and useless little gimmick that you can add to your pedal - a LED VU meter.  This was a layout I originally made for a microphone preamp. But it works well in a pedal as well. Here is a Roger Mayer Moongoose pedal that I built, with the LED meter. I also used a fader for the gain pot that I salvaged from an old broken small mixer.
