@ paparoni & neil_squadron: Mas madali para sa akin mag-export ng board layout into PDF file since ready-to-print na rin siya. Print in high quality lang and page scaling is set to "None". Try mo.

@cacophony..will try that as well..nice..thanks much man..

hmmm ako naman on my way sa paggawa ng ts9 clone ko. sabi ni milzer kaya ko daw to eh, so try ko nga. =)

@ pie-key: GRABE! Pabigat nang pabigat projects mo! Nice DC Brick! Kudos!

@ jmwreck: Very nice as well! As always!

yep man same lang naman yun, pag PDF kasi isang layout lang isang page.
not like when you extract it in .PNG image, pwede mo i-paste ng marami sa ms word, hindi naman magbabago ang reso ng image.
para sakin mas ok ang image, multiple layouts on 1 page.
wel kanya-kanya naman yan, hehe.

@pie-key
bro mukang mas maganda kung ilagay mo yun DC Brick clone sa metal enclosure.

Try mo bro, kaya mo rin yan!  Dami ako natutunan sa tubescreamer builds ko, yung una kong ginawa PCB ni milzer, parang naging practice ko ng offboard wiring.  Pero yung pangalawa ako na lahat.  Sulit na sulit yung TS builds, especially pag inintindi mo talaga.  Try mo basahin yung article ni R.G. Keen.

+1..mas prefer ko din yung image lng..bitmap..

about sa PDF:
hmmm.... sakin oks yun... kasi gaganda yung image quality ng PCB mo..... but for CAD users like us siguro para sakin depende pa din sa printer...... i use LASER printers malini, mabilis, sulit.... mura pa print....

about metal enclosure:
ahhhhh..... nice yun bro.... but for me kasi gusto ko lahat DIY plastics... hehehehe di bale bro im going to do that later.... prototype pa lang naman yun so madami pang mprovements, but you have given me an idea....... and thats great yun nga lang costly..... thanx man.....

about my projects:
mga sir salamat..... i just hope lahat to magawa ko in time and budget... hehehehehe medyo mahal.......
the thing is sana magwork lahat......  MG50clone  magastos although 4558 lang ang amplifier niya mahal pa din kapag nagsum.....


happ DIYing......

ABOT SA DRILL:

bro hindi lang sa alexan may magandang drills..... try mo other shops sa raon... wag ka ng magpakalayo layo pa.... deeco has quality ones......   and some shop has basic ones........


i use basic ones sa pcb drilling...... i use a mini drill RED colred ones..... i bought it for less than 500php...... sulit kasi 5 years old na xa oks pa din...... i use a 3000mA DC adapter to power it... para malakas ang torque at maganda, malinis at pulido ang butas....... i prefer it because puwede siyang i-upgrade into cutter drill.... may nabibiling mga diffrent drills pa for that kaya sulit basta alagaan lang ng mabuti.... hope it helped

You got a point. Here's what I got: export the PCB image into high resolution (i.e. 1000 dpi), open MS-Word, insert image, copy and paste multiple images as long as the page is optimized, and save the document as a PDF file. Hybrid!

next project.....

MARSHALL MG50 guitar amp clone
the schematic was taken from google search.... and redrawn to take out the clean channel
and the overdrive channels only. including the prescribed marshall amplification power supply.

The project will be used in a two 40W, 3inch stereo speakers. it will be then formed into a
mini stereo amplifier.

the design and speakers


at the upper layout is the clean channel PCB
at the middle is the overdriven channel PCB
at the bottom is the power supply unit (marshall)

the speakers



happy DIYing.....

nice,,,

my custom painted DC brick clone..... my gf designed and painted it..... loved it







happy DIYing

sweet nga ng gf moh... hmmmm nice,,,

[wiccan8888]

guys sa experience niyo ano ba maipapayo niyo or mga pointers niyo para saken sa pagbubuild ng ggg ts9? thanks.

first a question: why do you want a ts9? para dre malinaw muna kong pano ko sasagutin

[wiccan8888]

gusto ko lang maghobby hobby ng ganito. gusto ko lang matuto mag DIY ng peds pero meron na din naman po akong ibanez ts9 dalawa pa nga kumbaga gusto ko lang talaga matuto i DIY yung ggg ts9. saka may mga mods ang ggg ts9 din kung marunong na talaga ako mag DIY ng ts9 eh gusto ko itry.

[pie-key]

guys sa experience niyo ano ba maipapayo niyo or mga pointers niyo para saken sa pagbubuild ng ggg ts9? thanks.

magsearch ng possible ways to get the parts.... for example shops, parts, prices, at availability..... madami kasi gawa ng gawa pero sa bandang huli may kulang dahil walang part na ganito ganyan dito...... kung wala your free to ask questions here bro.... were all glad to help beginners like you guys..... kung subs walang problema.....

next thing is, paggawa ng PCB..... if youre lucky to find a way to do your pcb much better, but if your too scared to do it then, do the basic, use a universal PCB.... a bit of a hasstle but it will teach you a great logic.... promise.....

TS9 is a nice pedal..... very basic OD... good luck to you....

happy DIYing to all.....

[Musikerochan]

dadi dan, accessible sayo lahat ng parts, you wouldnt have any problems sourcing them out. i see you want to know what makes the ts9 tick. curious minds get the answers most of the time konting background lang sa soldering and parts ng mga components (pinout ng trannies, caps, etc.), kayang-kaya mo yan papi. i say it's quite easy to have the same circuit based on the schematic. kung wala ka ng parts like the exact ones used dun sa mga units in the market today, i think you couyld get away with some part substitution naman (like placing an electro in place of tantalums).


i had the same syndrome before. what frustrated me though is finding out that the tones i could get werent as great as the hype it received.

for everyone who are making diy distortion or drive pedals, listeners and guitar tone enthusiasts.. which is better, a IC based distortion pedals or a transistor based one??

[plugzzzz]

new build an A/B box para sa pedal shootout

tatapon kuna sana yung enclosure kasi mali yung drill ko tapos naisip kong gawin nalang A/B box ayun swak

[paparoni]

IC based distortion pedals.

IC based = more quiet, lesser noise
transistor based = more noise

yung mga nagawa kong transistor based dist pedals, pansin ko medyo maingay, gaya ng box of rock, bsiab2.
yung dr. boogey, jcm800 emulator, etc, balita ko sa mga nakagawa na, maingay talaga. lalo na 'pag matched FETS ang usapan.

ganun din na experience ko.. xet..RFI

LOLz! Hindi pa rin pala solved 'to Josh?!

Tama si Ron. Based on my experience and IIRC, dapat yung forward bias voltage sa FET is matched doon sa specifications ng FET or else noise would be highly intolerable. Basically FET is like a tube. It always needs to be biased according to manufacturer's catalog. That is why multiturn/ high precision potentiometers are recommended for this. Another way is, if you have good ears, just tweak it to taste until less noise is achieved. However, it would be difficult for you doing so in an effect board consisting of several gain stages. Ooooh! That's a bigger one!

@caco

di ko pa nilagay ung binili kong sheilded cable.. if di parin gumana... try ko ferrite beads.

pag hindi parin tapon ko na lang sa prototype trash.

sayang nga kung di ko na solve.. ganda pamo ng tunog rapsa!!!
