Zander:

Here is a list of tools that a tube amp tech typically uses in the process of building / testing / troubleshooting tube amps in order to get them to peak operation.

* [[Schematic]]: This is a diagram of the topology of the circuit in the amplifier. Using a schematic is almost always necessary when working on an amp so that the tech can refer to it and understand how the current is flowing through each part of the amplifier s/he is working on.
* [[Chopstick]](s): Wooden, acrylic, or plastic (non-conducting) probe (basically a stick) to safely move wires in an amp chassis to help determine possible interferences of signal running across the wires that may be inadvertently created by the in-chassis wiring.<br />'''This has been displaced by "El Dischargero".'''
* [[Capacitor Drain Jumper]]: Alligator clips that have been modified with a resistor that are used to drain otherwise dangerous high-voltage filter capacitors.
* [[Digital Multimeter]]: Also called "Digital Voltmeter", this is a digital version of the Vacuum Tube Voltmeter, with a much higher degree of granularity. It also tends to offer more numerous functions and tests that a simple VTVM cannot match.
* [[Testing Rig]]: This is a PCB/Tool from JMKPCBs that allows for the troubleshooting of pedals.
* [[Vacuum Tube Voltmeter]]: Uses a vacuum tube to obtain and display electronic measurements.
* [[Signal Generator]]: Generates a tonal sine wave (a musical note) that is fed into an amplifier, or pedal, for testing or tube biasing.
* [[Variac]]: Variable AC Transformer
* [[Tel-Ohmike TO-10]]: Capacitor Tester
* [[Sencore PR57]] "Powerite": An isolation transformer for testing possible ground loops - also useful for reforming old electrolytic capacitors.
* [[Tektronix 422]]: A particular model of oscilloscope we have here at Thermionic Studios
* [[Tektronix 456]]: Another oscilloscope that we have and probably don't need
* [[Lightbulb Limiter]]: A rudimentary "variac" that uses the wattage rating of a lightbulb to limit the amount of current going to an amplifier, and uses the function of the lightbulb to also indicate when the filter capacitors have "filled" with electrical charge.
* [[Speaker Load]]: Also known as a "Dummy Load", this tool consists of a resistive network that acts like a speaker and can take an amplifier's full output without generating any sound.
* [[Bias Probe]]: Used to measure the bias current to one or more power tubes to make sure that they have been biased to the desired rating.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Headphone Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Giants' Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Power ===
Picked up two rope cleats for winding up and holding the 9-volt power supply and cord that is necessary to make the Giants' Shoulders work:

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
** Positive and negative banana jacks and plugs for connecting the positive and negative test leads from the speakers to the test unit.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Headphone Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Giants' Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Simpson-Strong-Tie-A23Z-Angle-Z-Max/1115047

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Power ===
Picked up two rope cleats for winding and holding the 9-volt power supply and cord that is necessary to make the Giants' Shoulders work:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/National-Hardware-N100-314-4-1-2-in-Rope-Cleat-in-Nickel/5015740459

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
** Positive and negative banana jacks and plugs for connecting the positive and negative test leads from the speakers to the test unit.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Headphone Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Giants' Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
** Positive and negative banana jacks and plugs for connecting the positive and negative test leads from the speakers to the test unit.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Headphone Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Giants' Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Giants' Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Giants Shoulders ==
This particular item has been through a number of names. We believe this is the result of multiple brilliant people and as such has been renamed accordingly.

This breadboarding apparatus has been renamed to "The Giants Shoulders" because that is what it is. The first giant is Orville I. Thompson who was working for DeVry Institute, invented the spring-loaded breadboard that is familiar to those who dabble in electronics prototyping. He patented it in 1960. Thompson essentially democratized the ability of people to dabble in Electronics. Heathkit leveraged the invention to democratize the building of electronic projects to the masses. These contributions cannot be overstated.

The additional form-factor was inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler in his circuit prototyping YouTube videos. He'd shared his apparatus in his videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. His contribution was to be able to wire in toggle switches and potentiometers into the circuits he'd build on this breadboard. Huge leap forward in the conceptualization of effects and pedals and bringing them to the public. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We've drilled out some joist brackets with the proper holes. When this entry becomes its own wiki article the full set of parts will be itemized if you wish to recreate yourself. The final giant, is Brian "Madbean" Aldridge, who developed the [[ProtoRig]], the [[ProtoRigJr]], the [[Strober]], and the [[RoadRage]]. Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Giants' Shoulders" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Completing Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

Reliable power along with the ability to insert a signal into the circuit being built, in our minds, completes the package. This platform, this "Shoulders of Giants" should now be capable of turning raw electronic components into something that a guitar or other instrument can be plugged into, and performed with.

We combined all three to make circuit assembly, pedal assembly (pots and switches) and power access immediately available and convenient. We don't presume that this is the final expression of what a complete breadboarding platform looks like, but we hope that the combination of all three has resulted in a quality-of-life tool that that improves the experience of circuit prototyping, circuit inspection, and unfocused breadboarding. We hope this will result in the kind of activity that will help us troubleshoot and demonstrate certain electronics principles. Whether this is for ourselves primarily, or for the benefit of others remains to be seen. We hope its expression will result in the most generous possible outcome.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:

To protect the corners:

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Purifier" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Critical Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that bring everything together into the whole conceptual package (or "bit of kit" if you're a Limey).
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

Thermionic Studios:Wiki Standards

2026-05-04T22:57:50Z

Zander: /* Our Spiritual Quest */

{| align="right"
| __TOC__
|}
The world-famous [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] has a certain set of standards that the staff and volunteers enforce so as to make Wikipedia (relatively, given the current atmosphere of "fake news") authoritative and respectable. There are also, of course, hidden crazy articles, and articles that are incomplete or don't quite live up to Wikipedia's standards, but continue to be hosted and displayed. This happens because the editorial staff, at some level, has decided that the non-conforming articles provide some minimum level of value.

We intend to run this wiki in a '''similar''' (not exactly the same) fashion.

While we will not use the same set of standards that Wikipedia uses, we will adhere to this published set of standards so that we will also be seen as honest brokers of our understanding of the most accurate and reliable information.

Wikipedia most notably refuses for article authors to inform articles with their own personal knowledge. We will not use that standard. In fact, part of what we believe will make this a good and useful wiki is that the articles can and should reflect the experiences of the authors... within reason.

==Short Version==
===Axioms===
Axioms are the assumptions we make about the universe that we accept as true. Here are the Axioms for our Wiki:
# We have a point of view.
#* Read our site to learn about it. If you'd like to become a contributor, it's because you've been asked, and agree to follow our standards.
# One of our goals is to rent out high-quality and well-described music equipment.
#* We're not against other equipment, but we're filling out this wiki to create the best online guides about our stuff first.
# There is an objective truth to nature, the universe, and everything.
# We don't and can't necessarily know all objective truth to nature, the universe, and everything.
#* For the purposes of this wiki, objective facts are more important than our subjective truths.

===Principles===
Wiki articles need to be more about facts, than opinions. There will be always be occasional exceptions.
# (WHAT) To describe various pieces of equipment and their uses.
# (WHO) To describe different music artists and how these artists have used, and do use, their various pieces of musical equipment,
# (WHY) Articles discussing equipment should always be written based on a piece of equipment offering high value to a musician. Articles on the laws of nature (regarding electronics or materials), music theory, or playing techniques must be grounded in solid, verified, empirical evidence.
# (HOW) Articles discussing artists should include how the artist used/uses their preferred pieces of music equipment.
# (OOPS!) We are human. As content is added, errors will be made. Errors will be found. Don't dwell on them; fix them. Move on.

==Long Version==
===Wiki Axioms ===
Axioms are assumptions we make about the universe that we accept as true. In this case, when we use the term "universe", we mean to refer to the Thermionic-Studios.com website and the "world" of musical instruments, effects, and amplifiers insofar as they map to usage in creating or performing "heavy" music. We do not claim for our axioms to be completely infallible, but we feel is it fair to declare them and use them as signposts for the purposes of having integrity with the work of this wiki.

# '''We have a point of view'''. We like certain kinds of music better than other kinds of music. We like Metal, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Electric Blues, and other forms and genres of "heavy music". Given these preferences, we make no apologies for choosing not to support or cover other genres. If we should decide to cover other genres even if only minimally, we make no apologies for that either. This is our site, our community, and our choice. If you want your favorite country or hip hop music covered, we are not stopping you from creating a website to do so. This is not and will not be a platform for "all music".
#* Axiom #1 provides the perspective on and for our art. Through this perspective we will cover, create, edit, and update the content for this wiki.
# '''We rent out music equipment'''. To the extent that we are working to support a heavy music scene and culture, we're accumulating and renting out music equipment that we believe caters to "heavy" musicians.
#* Axiom #2 provides direction on populating the wiki. We begin with creating, as best we can, the most comprehensive guides of our own equipment; if only so those who rent pieces from us can develop deeper understandings of what they are using, how they can get the most out of what they are using from us in their personal quests, and how they might shape their musical direction. If others own this equipment on their own and get additional insights as a result, so much the better.
#* In addition, if you like this wiki and its mission and want to post articles describing your own pedals and gear, please contact us about gaining posting/editing privileges to the wiki. We delight in the idea of this wiki being more than just a resource for our rental customers. We do genuinely want it to contribute to the mission of helping meet the needs of a larger heavy music community.
# '''There is an objective truth to nature, the universe, and everything.''' The only consistently reliable means of getting to an understanding of the truth of the universe and reality (and therefore gear) is by use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact#Fact_in_science objective facts]. The realm of objective truth and objective facts is the realm of science. While Objective Truth is not the highest aspirational value we use for this wiki, it is most certainly a priority, and it serves to inform our perspective.
#* While Epistemological Philosophers may disagree (which is why this is an axiom), Axiom #3 provides a standard on populating the wiki. Regarding the claims that we make in the wiki, others must have already verified, or be able to verify the facts we assert about the musical equipment, the laws of nature, the music theory, or the playing techniques we describe in this wiki. Opinions should be informed by facts. Therefore it follows that opinions need to follow facts; facts should not follow opinions.

=== Wiki Principles ===
Here is a list of the principles and policy standards we want for this wiki. They flow from the above axioms, from our shared love of heavy music. They flow from the love and passion that other great musicians have, and the from musicianship supporting it.

* Wiki articles need to be more about facts, rather than opinions. As with any human endeavor, there will be occasional exceptions to this. We expect for these exceptions to be somewhat rare. Please see below.

* Wiki articles are to be written and used as follows:
# To describe various pieces of equipment and their uses. Such wiki articles would also be expected to describe HOW to use a piece of equipment, the nature and use of the instrument and/or any controls, and to offer suggestions where in a signal chain a the described piece of equipment could be used.
# To describe the nature of music, or performance, or electric/electronic theory and any associated underlying principles. This could also include auditory theory (how the human ear hears things) along with physics (how a speaker vibrates).
# To describe different music artists and how these artists have used, and do use, various pieces of musical equipment, instruments, techniques, and effects to get their own unique sounds. Instances of artists using different or unique pieces of equipment in their signal chains, especially if unorthodox, are expected and valued.

* '''Articles discussing equipment should always be written based on a piece of equipment offering high value to a musician. Equipment that offers high value is always more important than equipment that demands a high price'''. Our editorial policy, to the extent that wiki articles are about equipment, will always instruct us to discuss equipment that offers value, as opposed to equipment that offers prestige. Some pricey equipment can be bad; some inexpensive equipment can be great. WHILE THIS TENDS NOT TO BE THE CASE, it will always be our primary endeavor to host wiki articles that are about equipment that delivers value to musicians.
** Despite what we've just said immediately above, we are aware that prestige, value, and price are usually highly correlated. Great equipment is neither a substitute for, nor a ticket to great musicianship. In many instances it will not be possible to ignore high-value equipment that, because it commands a high price in the gear marketplace, also offers prestige. In such cases, we will not hesitate to offer wiki articles on such equipment. Great equipment is great equipment. There is a reason certain companies are recognized as great brands - In most cases, it is because of their ongoing commitment to deliver high value to musicians. The only prohibition we apply to ourselves in this respect will be that we do not and will not write sales copy for other companies. If other companies wish to market their products, we do not contest their freedom to do so; but their freedom to do so does not exist within the content of this wiki. This is our wiki, not theirs.

* '''Sales Copy:''' Wiki article authors are not to use marketing-speak. There are to be no superlative assertions made. There should be no "best" pieces of equipment since "best", besides being superlative, is also subjective. Similarly, there should be no "worst" pieces of equipment. If the author of a wiki article describing a piece of equipment wishes to either advocate for, or voice a complaint against, a particular piece of equipment, the means for doing so is to provide a link to an external article to such a review. That review can even be a journal or blog posting on the Thermionic Studios main site. This wiki itself is to house (mostly) dispassionate, practical information and facts, not emotional responses. Judgments of great or crappy musical equipment are for the opinion pages. We have no problem describing great or crappy musical equipment as great or crappy, this wiki just isn't the '''main''' place for it.

* Rather than creating wiki articles about bad or inferior pieces of equipment and then simply, and exclusively, filling them with external links bemoaning their inferiority, our editorial policy prefers that we simply neither write nor host articles describing weak, cheap, inferior, or mediocre pieces of equipment. '''THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.''' These exceptions will tend to be for:
# The occasional musical practice of the intentional use of inferior music equipment due to unique sonic/textural properties,
# Equipment development efforts that are so substandard that they result in almost-unusable equipment (This usually results in #1, above).
# Occasional Humor. There are cases when equipment is so shoddy, or business practices are so negligently or fraudulently over the top, they are fair game for calling out ([https://www.google.com/search?q=freekish+blues+gooping&oq=freekish+blues+gooping Freekish Blues], anyone?).
: Exceptions must be vetted with the editorial staff because documentation of such exceptions MUST BE MEANINGFUL in the context of our mission. Exceptions not vetted but posted anyway will be handled at the discretion of the editorial staff.

* Wiki articles must be original work and cannot be cut-and-pastes of other works, unless such cut-and-pastes are provided as visible quotations and are properly attributed.

Of course, we reserve the right to update or change these principles and policies at our discretion. All changes will of course happen in the spirit of continuous improvement and for the purposes of providing more accurate, useful, and meaningful information.

==Our Spiritual Quest==
We are hard materialists, and soft spiritualists. What does that mean?

# Materialism:
#* Soft: Yes, there is matter in the universe, but there are things that are unexplained that could be spirits, and "things" and maybe there's an eternal cosmic muffin that got it all going and to whom we're all somehow connected...
#* Hard: The only thing in our universe is matter, or "stuff". There has never been any independently verifiable proof of anything that exists outside the "stuff" of our universe.
# Spiritualism:
#* Soft: Suggests that it's an occasion of human biology that causes people to believe in "gods" and "souls". The mystical experiences can be genuinely felt, but the extrapolation of souls, and gods, and an afterlife are not.
#* Hard: We all have personal and durable souls that inhabit the "shells" that are our bodies. These souls outlive our flesh. These souls are all connected to some great, eternal "cosmic muffin".

We are hard materialists, primarily because, despite many desperate searches on the part of many curious individuals, there exists no proof whatsoever for the existence of any kind of "divine realm", or "plane of transcendence". On the plus side, it also means there's no reason to believe there's a "Lake of Fire" where finite crimes are punished with infinite torture.

We are soft spiritualists, because despite our lack of belief in an afterlife, or souls, or Heaven or Hell, we recognize that individual human beings have moments of highly emotional personal transcendence - moments that can consist of different combinations of feelings of: deep personal introspection, and/or broad feelings of connection with other humans, the universe, and the Earth, and/or simply incredibly intense experiences of joy, and love.

Some call this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy_(emotion) "ecstasy"], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_madness#Ancient_Greece_and_Rome:_theia_mania the "divine madness"]. Just about every human being has experienced it, but most people experience it only for brief moments in time. Not unlike deja-vu, it is an indescribably beautiful moment of "magic" or "awe" in an otherwise mundane world. Every part of your mind, your body, and heart aches for the wonderful glimpses you've been struck with in those moments. Many suppose these experiences to be "the ultimate truth" beyond this "veil" of human existence.

Despite the very human desire to achieve an ongoing transcendent state akin to "Heaven", or "Nirvana", or "Paradise", it seems the most that human biology will allow for are these glimpses of transcendence that are disappointingly momentary, personal, and largely unshareable. There are many paths to these moments, but each path is notoriously unreliable:

: '''Positive:''' Meditation, Becoming very very very good at something, Music, Long-term extreme athletic exertion, Loud concerts
: '''Negative:''' Fever, Mental illness / brain damage, Sensory deprivation, Religious revelation*
: '''Contingent:''' Mind-altering pharmacopeia
: '''Accidental:''' Those extremely rare occasions of random, unexplained, "magical" moments of a feeling of personal transcendence that you don't even recognize as such until those moments have passed.

The constellation of these numerous paths only reinforces our conclusion that we exist in a purely physical universe; that "Spiritualism" is not the chase of a universally-sharable plane of transcendence, rather, it is the chase for a feeling of personal transcendence that results from the laborious pursuit of perfection.

Have you ever noticed that loud arena rock concerts, highly-charged wresting exhibitions, evangelical religious revivals, and certain other events all follow a roughly similar form?

'''All of them seem to try to get the audience / viewers / participants to an emotional place where a feeling of "transcendence" can be experienced. It happens very, very rarely, but when it happens, it can be and often is intoxicating to the point of euphoria.'''

This is why we love heavy music. It's the pathway WE'VE CHOSEN to help get us to those emotional times and places that could best be described as "spiritual transcendence". We want to maximize those moments of transcendence for ourselves. We hope we are able to help you maximize those moments for yourself.

==Final Walkaway==
Here comes the assorted and possibly hypocritical gobblety-gook.

There is no objective "best". "Best" speaks to values and therefore opinions, not facts, or reality. Individual human beings are imperfect. As imperfect beings, we have imperfect perceptions and these perceptions, imperfect as they are, are the only tools available to us to conceptualize and realize our personal, or subjective best. Every individual has his or her subjective "best". Despite its inherent fallibility, the most reliable (not necessarily the easiest!) means of arriving at a subjective best is by use of objective facts guided by a subjective lens. It is ONLY through the critical input of others that we are able to independently (and at the same time collectively) come to some reasonable conclusions about the nature of life in general. In our case, this means about music, performance, and gear. Ideally, these conclusions form and inform a positive feedback loop: We hope to use this loop to help sharpen the focus of our perceptions and mold our individually subjective lenses into a communally objective one.

; We want the this to be one of the most highly-regarded, if not the most highly-regarded Heavy Music wiki. We may never get there, but we'll keep trying!

Now that you know the above, if you are a competent writer and researcher, have an abiding love for heavy music, and heavy music gear, and want to join us in this mission, we would love to hear from you!

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Purifier ==
We sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how we felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It was really inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler. He's shared a similar 'construct' in videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We don't think his has the power and probe abilities, but that's because he's a braver kind of prototyper than we will ever be.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Purifier" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Critical Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that really make this whole thing work...
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Staff of Ineluctable Power ==
This staff goes to 11.

The Staff of Ineluctable Power is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

The [[Dunlop / MXR|MXR]] M117R Flanger. This is a flanger that you've undoubtedly heard on all kinds of recordings; In most cases, you just might not be able recognize it. The artist who really made a unique sound associated with the MXR Flanger, and in turn made it famous was [[Eddie Van Halen]]. This effect can be and has been used, not just in heavy music, but across all kinds of different music genres. Unlike the impression that the famous EVH "Swoosh" probably gives when you first hear it, the M117R Flanger is an effect pedal that can also be used very subtly and tastefully. When you learn about all that the pedal can do, it's actually a pretty remarkable little effect. The design and execution are definitely inspired.

If you've followed our site for any length of time, you're probably also aware that we do not hold artist-editions of musical equipment in higher esteem than standard work-a-day instruments and equipment. We think it's important to point out that our favorite, and your favorite artists were only ever awarded limited-artist-signature-edition equipment AFTER they became famous. Everything they did to get famous was most likely standard version equipment that they played or that they tweaked-and-then-played themselves.

...Then again, despite the friendly finger-wagging, we're also just human beings. In rare instances, we've been known to defy our own public pronouncements and consider grabbing a limited edition "something". The rare occasions this happens are if and only if we're able to find an exceptionally good deal. In our own personal gear collections, you'll mostly find us using "vanilla" equipment, including the M117R.

Thermionic Studios owns five (5) copies of this pedal (truthfully, we have too many). We have:
* One (1) Original 1970s M117
* Two (2) Standard M117Rs (charcoal),
* One (1) EVH117 (black and white), and,
* One (1) EVH117SE (red, black, and white).

As always, please contact us if you're interested in renting one!

==Controls==
[[File:MXR_M117RFlanger_front.png|right|frame|<div style="text-align:right">Image of '''M117R''' from [https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/mxr-m-117r-flanger-effects-pedal Musician's Friend]</div>]]

* Knob 1 - '''"Manual"''': This knob sets the center-point of the sweep of the flanging effect. Turn counter-clockwise to make a "bassier" flanger sweep; clockwise for a "more trebly" sweep.
* Knob 2 - '''"Width"''': This knob controls the "width" of the sweep of the flanger. Turning the knob clockwise increases the width of the sweep.
* Knob 3 - '''"Speed"''': This controls how quickly the swell sweeps across the width of the flanger effect. Turning the knob clockwise increases that speed.
* Knob 4 - '''"Regen"''': This knob controls the intensity of the flanging effect. Turning the control completely counter-clockwise makes the flanging effect very faint. Turning clockwise increases the intensity.
* Footswitch 1 - '''"On/Off"''': This switch toggles the Flanger between "active/engaged" and "bypassed".

===Width Knob = Weird!===
The '''Width''' knob is pretty interesting in its function, and the manner in which it works on this pedal is worth remembering.
# Turning the '''Width''' completely counter-clockwise will remove any influence of the '''Speed''' control from the flanging effect. The Speed knob will still turn, of course... It just won't have any effect. At first, this seems bizarre, but consider the following:
#* If '''Width''' is zero then any oscillation in the flanger is, by definition, impossible: the points between which any oscillation could occur have converged.
#* If the '''Width''' or "window" available for any sweep is now zero, then the '''Speed''' control becomes functionally irrelevant (There's no flanging width to traverse!).
# Alternatively, turning the '''Width''' knob fully clockwise removes the '''Manual''' control from the effect. Again, the '''Manual''' knob can be turned, however turning it won't make any impact on the sound. This is because when '''Width''' is turned to maximum, the points between which the flanger oscillates are moved to the furthest edges of the effect. Said another way, as the '''Width''' of the oscillation "window" gets wider and wider, the '''Manual''' control gets forced closer and closer to the "natural center" of the effect. At maximum '''Width''', the flanger oscillation sweeps across the entirety of the effect's time/flange window. This in turn results in no window remaining for the '''Manual''' control to operate.

==Bypass: Buffered==
Most Dunlop/MXR pedals have a high-quality (non-audible) buffer in their design. All versions of the M117/EVH117 also use buffers.

==General Information==
===18 Volts===
This pedal uses an 18-volt power supply, or two (2) 9-volt batteries. Attempting to use a 9-volt power supply will result in failure and frustration. You have been warned.

===Original Flanger===
The original MXR Flanger was first released in 1978. One of the features that made this particular pedal more attractive was the built-in AC power cord (seen below, circled in red). Now, while Boss had also used AC power in the form of an AC adapter for their BF-1 Flanger, MXR took a different tack. While the attached power cord may have telegraphed to artists that the MXR Flanger would be a boon for them (no batteries to chew up), MXR's engineers embraced the tangent: because their flanger drew AC current from a standard wall outlet, they would also be free to design a much higher headroom flanger effect. Most other flangers, Boss's BF-1 for example, may have also been designed to use only an AC adapter, but Boss then also decided to design a circuit that used only 9-volts. Such decisions prevented these competitors from offering similarly lush flanger effects.

Interestingly, [[Electro-Harmonix]], like MXR, also decided that they preferred for their Electric Mistress flanger to use higher power in order to have greater headroom, and therefore a lusher sound.

[[File:MXR_M117Flanger_Vintage.png|center|frame|<div style="text-align:right">Image of vintage MXR Flanger from [https://en.audiofanzine.com/guitar-flanger/mxr/m117-flanger-vintage/medias/pictures/#id:1516770 AudioFanzine.com] <br /> Copyright of image not found. Presumed Public Domain.</div>]]

The modern retooled version, the M117R, attempts to carry on the tradition of high headroom with under-side access for two 9-volt batteries, and a jack for an 18-volt AC power adapter at the top.

Vintage versions of the original MXR Flanger can still be found for what we believe are (now, 2018) "reasonable" prices. They're especially reasonable when compared to the prices for many vintage effects. That said, we believe that vintage MXR Flangers don't sound so much better than the newer reissues that the reissues should be beyond consideration. We think the reissues sound great.

===Tricks===
When you consider how the controls behave, a couple of tricks with the M117R become apparent:

* Easily set a preferred frequency space for your flanging effect:
If the '''Width''' is set not-quite fully counter-clockwise, the impact of the '''Manual''' control becomes far more pronounced. By doing this first, then playing your instrument and listening, you can get a sense of where, frequency-wise, you want the flanging effect to sit in your mix. Once decided, it's not much more effort to adjust '''Width''', '''Speed''', and '''Regen''' to taste.

* Why the first knob is called '''Manual''', or "D.I.Y. Flanging for Beginners":
With the '''Width''' set all the way off, if you turn the '''Manual''' knob back and forth while playing your instrument, you'll notice that you're able to manually sweep the Flanger. Here at [http://thermionic-studios.com Thermionic Studios], we've actually thought it might be a cool idea to put such an effect into a treadled pedal (like a [[Wah-wah]]) so it would be possible to control your flanger swoosh in the same way you can control a wah-wah.

(*) A newer version of the standard EVH117 Flanger Owner's Manual is available on the [http://JimDunlop.com Jim Dunlop] website, but we believe the older manual, that we make available here, offers just a bit more technical information.

==EVH117 Flanger==
[[File:MXR_EVH117Flanger_front.png|right|frame|<div style="text-align:right">Image of '''EVH117''' from [https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EVHFlanger--mxr-evh117-eddie-van-halen-flanger-pedal Sweetwater.com]</div>]]

This is the original Eddie Van Halen version of the MXR Flanger - built for him by Dunlop. It features the original "Van Halen I" black-stripes-on-white motif that Eddie painted on his [[Frankenstrat]]. This version of the pedal differs from the standard M117R in that it offers an "EVH Button" that instantly reconfigures the pedal to Eddie's favorite flanger setting.

We own a copy of this model because we thought it would be cool to pair with our 2-color black-and-white [[EVH90SE]] 35th Anniversary Phase 90 phaser pedal.

===EVH Button===
* Button 1 - '''"EVH button"''': Depressing this button (it's a toggle) overrides the pedal's knob settings and activates the settings preferred by Eddie Van Halen. This provides the familiar "And The Cradle..." or "Unchained" swoosh.

===Eddie's Swoosh===
One of the things that many players hunger to emulate but don't know how to get is the famous [[Eddie-Van-Halen-Swoosh]] (note to wiki staff: get an audio clip of the first 4 seconds of "And the Cradle Will Rock" and link it here). Most players can get close, but there's "something" about the EVH sound that makes the flanger effect so much more pronounced than what usual signal chains can provide. Most of the time, people have come to believe and accept that the reason they can't emulate this sound is because it was added after the track was laid down.

This is incorrect. We have recreated this sound and can do it faithfully.

<blockquote>
<div style="background-color:#222222; border:2px solid #e69710; padding:10px; {{border-radius|8px}}">
The '''EVH Button''' alone will not necessarily get you the Van Halen "Swoosh"...
</div>
</blockquote>

The secret is to put the flanger pedal in between the guitar and the distorting amplifier. There is something about [[distortion]], and in particular (at least according to our ears) something about tube distortion that accentuates the effect and really brings it forward. We wondered about this, some time ago, when we were looking at some stage and pedalboard pictures of early Van Halen arena concerts. We noticed that what EVH has previously shared in interviews about his pedals appeared to be true... "just put 'em on a piece of plywood". Pics showed the MXR Phaser, Flanger, and 6-band EQ. Only later did the realization set in. Of course! EVH probably did with his flanger the same thing that he did with his phaser.

So then we reversed the effect order, chained the flanger into the distortion, and '''Eureka!'''

==EVH117SE Flanger==
[[File:MXR_EVH35Flanger_front.png|right|frame|<div style="text-align:right">Image of '''EVH117SE''' from [https://www.jimdunlop.com/product/evh117se-7-10137-06272-6.do Jim Dunlop]</div>]]

The 35th Anniversary Special Edition or "EVH117SE" was released with what we would consider a motivation to pleasing those who might want to buy a vanity version of the MXR Flanger. Jim Dunlop issued the EVH 35th Anniversary version of the original MXR EVH117 Flanger. The only thing separating this Flanger from the EVH117 is the paint job and a "high gloss" finish. Otherwise, the EVH117SE is exactly the same as the standard edition EVH117 Flanger with the additional "EVH button".

Just like the standard EVH117 Flanger, the 35th Anniversary version also includes the '''EVH Button'''.

We own a copy of this model because we thought it would be cool to pair with our 3-color red-black-and-white [[EVH90]] Phase 90 phaser pedal.

==Phase Inversion: Unknown==
From our view of the schematic, these are the only active electronics that actually touch the instrument signal. We're not yet clear on how the SAD1024 and the CD4013AE affect the signal so the jury's still out on whether a signal going into an M117R gets its phase inverted when coming out, unfortunately:
{| class="wikitable" style="left; margin-right:20px; background-color:#eeffee;" cellpadding="10"
|-
! Schematic ID ||Electronic Part || Action || Phase State
|-
| IC1b("U4.b") || CA1458 || Does not Invert || Original
|-
| IC2b("U2.b") || CA1458 || Does not Invert || Original
|-
| IC3("A1") || SAD1024 || ??? || ???

|-
| IC5b("U1.b") || CA1458 || Does not Invert || TBD
|-
| IC1a("U4.a") || CA1458 || Inverts(?) || TBD
|}

This other list of active electronic parts are also clearly in the schematic, however, no audio signal appears to actually goes through them. From what we can ascertain, their purpose is to modify how the CD4013AE and the SAD1024 integrated circuits manipulate the signal and interact with the controls. Since they don't touch the actual signal, their presence shouldn't affect the audio signal's phase as it goes through the pedal:
{| class="wikitable" style="left; margin-right:20px; background-color:#eeffee;" cellpadding="10"
|-

| IC1b("U5.a") || CA1458 || Inverts || NA
|}

==Schematic==
This is the schematic of the original MXR Flanger. Search as we might, we are not able to find a schematic of the reissue...

The original MXR Flanger used SAD1024 oscillator ICs which are virtual "unobtainium" today. Despite the reverence held for the SAD1024, the reissue is, in our opinion, such a good workalike that the difference in performance between an M117R reissue and an original pedal is practically indistinguishable. This also probably has a lot to do with keeping the price of original vintage MXR pedals down, as compared with other brands of vintage effects.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Purifier ==
We sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how we felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It was really inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler. He's shared a similar 'construct' in videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We don't think his has the power and probe abilities, but that's because he's a braver kind of prototyper than we will ever be.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Purifier" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Critical Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that really make this whole thing work...
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Fetcher ==
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

== The Audition Box ==
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

== The Cutting Board ==
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

== The Purifier ==
We sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how we felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It was really inspired by a similar board we saw worked up by Brian Wampler. He's shared a similar 'construct' in videos where he dissects different circuits to show you how they work. Our version is very similar, just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that we had, cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white. We don't think his has the power and probe abilities, but that's because he's a braver kind of prototyper than we will ever be.

Across the top 1/2" edge, we mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

We purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. We drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets we purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Simpson-Strong-Tie-A23Z-Angle-Z-Max/1115047

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard we obtained a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Purifier" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. We had some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out metal like we did, use blue painters tape (we did!) TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

=== The Critical Pieces: ===
Here are the Madbean PCBs that really make this whole thing work...
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

This is a small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort. Silicone is still electrically inert. Great for a parts tray.

== The Fetcher ==
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-5-3-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Door-and-Gate-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002824857

A 1-1/4" compression ring
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/IDEAL-TRIDON-1-2-in-to-1-1-4-in-dia-Stainless-Steel-Adjustable-Clamp/1001060496

A 4" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Truper-48-5-in-L-Fiberglass-Post-Hole-Digger-Handle/5013548661

Important to note that the storm door handles were reinforced by bending the metal edges 90' degrees to stiffen the ends of the handles where they screw into a door or drawer. We ground off that extra reinforcement on a friend's bench grinder so that the ends could then be gently bent to conform to the handle that they were then screwed into. The compression ring then serves to secure the handles and screws to prevent anything from coming loose.

== The Measuring Stick ==
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

== Speaker Polarity Tester ==

This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how I felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 13" x 19", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white.

Across the top 1/2" edge, I mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could be hung, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-ReliaBilt-4-7-8-in-White-Screen-Door-Pull-Handle-1-Pack/5002395325

To protect the corners:
* https://www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-RB-BRACE-CORNER-1IN-BLACK-4CT/5016140893

I purchased some inexpensive joist brackets, like the kind used in framing houses. I drilled out the existing holes to accommodate the ability to mount potentiometers and switches, and then drilled out some additional holes for the same purpose.
Here are the brackets I purchased to create the structure on which the pots and switches could be mounted in conjunction with the breadboarded circuitry:

* https://www.lowes.com/pd/Simpson-Strong-Tie-A23Z-Angle-Z-Max/1115047

Breadboard example:
This is the same model of breadboard I bought a number of years ago. Repurposed to serve as the heart of "The Purifier" today. Seemed like a better idea than buying a new one. Some difficulty drilling out the holes through the steel plate that the actual breadboards are mounted to. If you're going to drill out like I did, use blue painters tape TO COVER OVER ALL THE HOLES before you drill so you don't accidentally get metal shavings into those holes.

==== The Critical Pieces: ====
Here are the Madbean PCBs that really make this whole thing work...
; The ProtoRigJr. enables you to put an instrument signal through whatever effect you're designing, and gives you the ability to probe, at different places through the circuit to see where there may have been a breakdown:
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/ProtorigJR24.pdf

; The Strober allows one to troubleshoot through a stereo (which in reality is just a two-channel output) on an effect in the breadboard. I have mounted this on the bottom and upside down on the breadboard so all I need to do to test stereo effect, is to rotate the board 180' degrees and assemble and test just as if this were a normal breadboard.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/Strober.pdf

; The RoadrageBB is to enable multiple voltages for powering breadboard designs instead of just being "stuck" with 9 volts. I have two of these; I'll use one for +12 volts, another for +15 volts (in addition to the +9, -9, and +18 volts that the Madbean Roadrage units make possible. These units will be on the board and included in breadboarding activities as necessary.
* https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/BreadBuddies/pdf/RRBB.pdf

Small silicone tray mounted to board with screws to provide a quick and easy holding area for electrical components. Silicone chosen as it electrically insulates components held within. This came in a two-pack from Temu. It was probably designed as a bathroom counter soap dish of some sort.

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how I felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white.

Across the top 1/2" edge, I mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could hang, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how I felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white.

Across the top 1/2" edge, I mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could hang, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one may want for different kinds of activities.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it. Perhaps it's how I felt after making it. We live in strange times.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18", then filled the cracks with wallboard compound, sanded, and then painted white.

Across the top 1/2" edge, I mounted a couple of inexpensive folded sheet metal handles to serve as eyes so this could hang, out of the way, from a couple of rafter hooks:

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18"
Across the top bout, to hang from a couple of rafter hooks:

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/2" compression ring

A 6" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18"
Across the top bout, to hang from a couple of rafter hooks:

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/2" compression ring

A 6" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).

----

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18"

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/2" compression ring

A 6" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18"

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/2" compression ring

A 6" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Purifier ===
I sort of came upon this name by accident. It's not so much about what this platform does to a circuit, it's more about what it does to the human being using it.

It's really just a piece of 1/2" plywood scrap that I cut down to approximately 14" x 18"

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

A 1-1/2" compression ring

A 6" replacement shovel handle (fiberglass sheath over a wood core).

=== The Measuring Stick ===
We wanted a quick-reference guide for the holes that need to be drilled into pedal enclosures to panel-mount various components.

A single piece of sheet, drilled out with the holes:

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Fetcher ===
The Fetcher is an open, double-tined hook or fork that is used to fetch different cables from the various ceiling storage hooks that keep such cables out of the way. It prevents the inconvenient use of a stepladder or step-stool to fetch the cables that one wants for a certain activity.

It was made with 2 stainless "RB" storm door handles / drawer pulls from Lowe's

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

=== Speaker Polarity Tester ===
A repurposed Madbean Roadrage PCB inside a 1590A enclosure combined with a voltage divider and a momentary switch. This is to verify the tabs on the speaker and confirm which is negative, and which is positive. This is being built because using a 9-volt battery can pose a risk to smaller speakers. Guitar, Bass, and PA speakers can easily handle a 9-volt battery, but we may need this for building the Deacy.
; Box: 1590A
Features
* Single "in" power jack to supply power to the internal Madbean [[Roadrage]].
** +9 filtered DC power
** stepped down from 9 volts to 4.5 volts with interal voltage divider.
* 2 terminal wires, one red for positive, the other black for negative with spade connectors for quick attachment to speaker leads.
* Momentary On/Off footswitch for use with thumb.

Tiny Tester

2026-04-08T23:13:28Z

Zander: /* Function */

{| align="right"

The [[JMK PCBs]] Tiny Tester. It's an oscillator circuit that creates a single tone intended for testing and troubleshooting.

We're currently operating with the plan that this PCB will be the basis of our first YouTube video! Woohoo!

== Description ==
This is a small, self-contained oscillator PCB for creating a test signal in order to troubleshoot any problems in our audio electronics.

== Controls ==
* Knob 1 - '''"Level":''' Controls the output level of the generated tone
* Switch 1 - '''"Output Mode":''' Two-way toggle to switch between the instrument jack output, or the probe output.
* Switch 2 - '''"Pitch Select":''' Switch to alter between 2 different pitches of test tone.

== Function ==
Note that the red-highlighted portions of the circuit diagram make a constant feedback loop. There is no "In". This feedback loop causes an oscillation that is tuned by the capacitors for an oscillating signal. This signal is generated at a human-audible level by the choice and placement of the capacitors (designated as C1, C2, and C3) in the circuit. As this is a circuit powered by direct current (DC), that oscillation is actually an AC signal, that because of how it's tuned, will create an audio tone that can be sent through an effect pedal and, ultimately, speakers.

Per the notes in the Tiny Tester documentation, if one doubles, triples, or quadruples the capacitor values of C1, C2, and C3, a lower tone will be generated. This would be helpful if your finding is that the "stock" tone is too high.

The instrument pass-through isn't part of the Tiny Tester's original design. We simply thought installing such in the enclosure might offer some benefit.

[[File:JMKPCBs_TinyTester_Schem.png|center|frame|<div style="text-align:left">Modified [[JMKPCBs]] Tiny Tester Schematic, showing how a test tone is created.</div><div style="text-align:right">© 2011, JMKPCBs</div>]]

== Operation ==
Based on the output mode switch, this signal can be directed to an instrument cable, or to the probe.
=== Instrument ===
Switch the '''Output Mode''' to "Instrument" and use an instrument cable plugged into the 1/4" jack. The Tiny Tester's test signal will be routed through the 1/4" jack for plugging into an effect with an input jack for testing.

=== Probe ===
We think this is the most useful application of the Tiny Tester for troubleshooting effects. Our JMK PCBs [[Testing Rig]] uses a probe to '''LISTEN''' for where a signal stops. When '''Probe Mode''' is switched on the Tiny Tester, the probe can then be used to '''INJECT''' a test signal at any point along a PCB's architecture. The main use would be if you don't have any active electronics installed into your effect, but you want to make sure signal is getting through the various parts of the circuit in between those active electronics. When used to its fullest capability in tandem with the Testing Rig, it should be possible to both inject a test signal, and then listen for the same signal, so as to verify where problems may be happening in our assembly. As such, the Tiny Tester is essentially a continuity tester.

DD-20

Zander: /* Using the Output Modes */

[[Boss]] DD-20 GigaDelay. This is easily the most complicated single pedal entry we've made into the wiki so far. The DD-20 can be a simple pedal; but if you want to get into the details, it can also be a rather complicated pedal. So this wiki page is written in such a way so as to split the simple from the complicated, and as a result, it might be a good bit longer as well.

This double-pedal has been end-of-lifed by Boss. That means that it can be had on the used market for a relatively affordable price. While there are some complaints voiced on different forums about the lack of fidelity of the digital codec in the pedal, we haven't noticed an issue. That said, this pedal is very versatile and has many features that most players might not ever use in the course of the writing, rehearsing, or performing their music. We are a bit surprised that production of the DD-20 was ended, but that the Boss RE-20 Space Echo continues to be produced. It would seem the DD-20 didn't sell as well as the RE-20. After going back and reviewing the Owner's Manual and writing the Wiki entry for this pedal, it's clear that as a pedal, the DD-20 is probably more complicated than most casual musicians first expect. Compared to the RE-20, the configuration and functions available are more complicated. It's a fine pedal for a musician, but it takes some working with and a good bit of familiarity, so it's not hard to see why it was outsold by the more familiar and less complicated RE-20. Creating the familiarity necessary to be good with this pedal takes some time.

Despite the fact that the DD-20 has been obsolesced by the Boss DD-500, it's interesting to note that for 40 years Boss has been successful with pedals employing the characteristic "Boss-style" broad, metal "cap/flap" footswitches. With the emergent success of [[Dunlop/MXR]], and along with legions of boutique and kit builders that employ the simple button switches, it seems [[Digitech|Digitech/DOD]] has been coaxed away from their previous transition to the Boss-style "metal cap/flap" switch and back to the button switch. We believe that much of this seems to do with the fact that players have come to perceive that a button switch on a pedal signals that it's always true [[bypass]]. This seems in turn to have put Boss on the defensive and now Boss has returned to their mid 1970s-era button style footswitches for certain pedals, even if those switches don't actually make the pedals true bypass.

As stated above, the Boss DD-20 Gigadelay is no longer being made.

; Thermionic Studios has two (2) DD-20s available for rental.

==Controls==

* Knob 1 - '''"E. Level"''': (Effect Level) Fully counter-clockwise results in an inaudible delay effect. Fully clockwise results in repeats that are just as loud as the original dry signal before tapering off.
* Knob 2 - '''"F. Back"''': (Feedback) Select the number and intensity of repeats starting at fully counter-clockwise with one repeat and fully clockwise resulting in enough repeats to begin self-oscillating.
* Knob 3 - '''"Tone"''': Turned fully counter-clockwise this knob emphasizes bass; turned fully clockwise emphasizes treble frequencies in the delayed signal. The knob at noon results in delay repeats without any frequency alteration.
* Knob 4 - '''"Mode"''': Use the Mode knob to select from among several delay types ([[#Mode Knob|described below]]).
* Knob 5 - '''"Delay Time"''': This is the largest knob and is used by other features in the pedal, but it's main purpose is to -
** simple knob-turn: speeds up or slows down delay by milliseconds.
** slight push-down with knob turn: speeds up or slows down delay by hundreds of milliseconds.
* Footswitch 1 (left) - '''"On/Off"''': This turns the pedal On and Off; helps set and control other features.
* Footswitch 2 (right) - '''"Select"''': Depending on the modes set for the pedal, this switch selects between the manual, and each of the 4 memory banks.
* Button 1 - '''"Tap"''': Tap this button to set the repeats to match your tempo. Holding down this button toggles the view of delay time from milliseconds to Beats-per-minute (BPM). Top of the unit has a "Control Pedal" jack which allows an additional pedal for use as tap tempo.
* Button 2 - '''"Tempo"''': Allows you to set the delay time in terms of note lengths, from quarter-note to triplets to dotted whole note. Please see Owner's Manual for a more in-depth description.
** Buttons 1 & 2 together: '''"Light"''': This controls whether the backlight on the digital display is on or off.
* Button (red) 3 - '''"Write"''': This button is used to save a delay setting to a preset and how to use this is described below.
* Button 4 - '''"Select"''': Use this button to select from among the four banks of delay settings you may have previously saved.

===Jacks===
* Jack 1 - '''Input A''' (mono): Primary input
* Jack 2 - '''Input B'''
* Jack 3 - '''Control Pedal Input''': This jack allows one to plug in an additional control switch pedal for greater flexibility.
* Jack 4 - '''Headphones Output''': Headphones can be plugged in here for listening.
* Jack 5 - '''Output A''' (mono - dry + wet): Primary output
* Jack 6 - '''Output B''' (stereo or only Input B)
* Jack 7 - '''AC Adapter Input''': 9-volt power supply plugs in here.

[[#Output Modes|There is a table below]] that gives better detail on the full range of possible uses of the input and output jacks.

===Mode Knob===
* '''[[#Using the Looper|Sound on Sound]]''' SOS(Sound-on-Sound): Record loops with facility to record on top of the loop you've already recorded. On/Off light flashes in record/overdub mode, stays on in playback mode.
* '''Twist''': Causes an acceleration in the delay and shifts the delayed note pitch up when the left pedal is depressed. When the pedal is released, the delay slows down and the pitch drops back down. On/Off light flashes when left pedal is held down for this mode.
* '''Warp''': When the left pedal is depressed the all repeats are captured and then fed back to be repeated again. This results in ever increasing repeat feedback. When the pedal is released, the mass of built-up repeats slowly fade until pedal returns to original delay/repeat operation. On/Off light flashes when left pedal is held down for this mode.
* '''Tape''': Results in an effect similar to a tape delay where additional tape heads pick up signal and play it back. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob select between one or two tape heads in the delay effect.
* '''Analog''': Frequency-tuned to sound like an analog delay. Treble frequencies are rolled off for delay repeats.
* '''Standard''': Unmodified digital delay
* '''Dual''': Sort of a slapback effect, not unlike the "Tape" setting but you can set the time (50-300 milliseconds) between the "dual" delay repeats. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob select the spread in the "dual" delay effect.
* '''Pan''': Bounces the delay effect between the left and right stereo outputs
* '''Smooth''': A delay effect that "smooths" the repeats with the addition of some built-in reverb.
* '''Modulate''': Modulates the delay sound. As if you put your delay-wet output through a vibrato pedal. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob to select the amount of rate and depth in the modulations of the delay effect.
* '''Reverse''' : Delay repeats are played in reverse, creating a reverse-gated delay sound - almost like your instrument is a magnetic tape or vinyl record being played backwards.

==Bypass: Buffered==
Like all Boss pedals, the DD-20 has a buffered bypass.

==General Information==
As previously mentioned, this is a complicated pedal so the information and the instructions in this section aren't necessarily offered for just the people renting our DD-20, but for people who own the pedal (and ourselves as a reference!). We reset our DD-20 back to the factory specifications upon being returned from a rental.

If you're going to be using the DD-20 long-term in your signal chain, it'll help for you to configure the different modes on it so that it starts up the way you want when you power the pedal on.

Please note that the information here is the "abridged" version of what can be found in the Owner's Manual. However, please also know that this wiki page is the result of our working with the pedal, and our best knowledge from those experiences. We hope it will get you going a bit faster than it took us in using it in combination with the Owner's Manual, and hope it provides working information about the pedal in a manner that's easier to absorb.

==Operation==
We're starting with Operation, because every time anyone gets a new toy, they want to play with it right away. As described above, this won't make for success long-term, but we agree it's hard to read the manual first.

The DD-20 comes with 3 different pedal modes. The first pedal mode uses all 5 of the presets: Manual, 1, 2, 3, and 4. To get up and playing quickly with the DD-20, this is the best mode to be in. The Owner's Manual has good descriptions of Pedal Modes 1, 2, and 3 along with clear directions on how to set a preferred mode. Pedal Mode 3 is the only mode that requires one to depress both left and right footswitches simultaneously.

; Please also note that the WRITE button does not operate while the Delay Mode knob is set to SOS mode.

===Left Footswitch===
* Tapping the left footswitch toggles the delay on and off.
===Right Footswitch===
* Holding down the right footswitch will toggle between selecting between the memory presets, and the tap-tempo function, as shown by the LED indicator next to the footswitch.
** In '''memory preset''' mode, depending on which Pedal Mode you've defaulted to, quickly tapping the pedal iterates through the memory presets, or toggles between the Manual and your selected preset of the 4 memory presets on the pedal.
** In '''tap-tempo''' mode, by quickly tapping the pedal to the tempo you match the repeats of the delay to the beat of the music.

===Setting the Delay===

This sets the DD-20 as if it were to be treated just like a standard delay pedal with a single delay that can be modified by the knobs:
# Press the SELECT button to switch to Manual Delay mode. Verify by observing that the green LED indicator labeled "manual" is lit.
# Using the 5 knobs, select the kind of delay you want, how long you want it, etc...
# Once everything is set to your liking depress the DELAY TIME knob. This puts all the settings for the delay type and delay time into memory and makes that the default delay for the Manual setting. If the pedal is powered off, this delay will remain in memory and will be the default delay upon power-up.
# Done.

===Setting Memory Presets===
The DD-20 has 4 presets. Here's the procedure for saving a delay setting to a preset:
# Use either the right footswitch or the SELECT button to make sure that the LED indicator labeled "Memory" (vs the LED labeled "Tap") is lit.
# Use the delay settings knobs to pick the delay and the settings to the delay and repeats you want.
# Press the WRITE button. This puts the delay into "write standby" mode and causes the memory preset indicator to begin blinking.
# Press the SELECT button to choose the memory preset where you wish to save your delay configuration.
# Press the WRITE button again. When the delay configuration has been written to the preset, the LED indicator will begin flashing rapidly
# Done.

===Using the Looper===
The Sound-on-Sound (SOS) setting allows you up to 23 seconds of looping time. In the course of the loop, you can record more and more phrases on top of your original rhythm loop. However, the DD-20 isn't really a looping pedal, so it's not possible to save your loops and recall them later. However, you can record some stuff for yourself to play over for practice. It's possible to start a loop, and then change to a different delay mode so you can have a preferred delay type if you're going to be soloing over a loop. However, if you change the delay mode again, the loop will be lost and there's no opportunity to get back to it. It's gone.

====Understanding the Loop====
# Turn the MODE knob to “SOS.”
# Tap the left footswitch to start recording your phrase.
#* Before you start recording your phrase, you will see that the engineers at Boss, to the extent that was available to them, have implemented a visual meter that displays your progress through the available memory. This visual meter is represented as a series of zeroes, starting with no zeroes and building to four. Those zeroes increment to display how much of the 23 seconds of memory have elapsed or are being used. The LCD screen starts blank, and then adds one zero, and continues to build. When you get to 4 zeroes in the display, the 23 seconds are used up, and the loop resets back to the beginning and the visual meter reverts back to no zeroes.

[[File:Boss_DD20_LoopDisplay.png|frame|center|<div style="text-align:right">© Copyright 2003, Boss Corporation. Reproduced here under Fair Use.</div>]]
::*You don't have to use up all 23 seconds to get a loop going. It's certainly possible to record a just single phrase that is less than 23 seconds. The DD-20 will loop just that phrase. The DD-20 will then allow you to build additional phrases on top of that original loop.
::*Once the length of your loop is established, the LCD meter resets so that the zeroes "fill out the meter" according to the length of your loop.

====Recording a Loop====
# Turn the MODE knob to “SOS.”
# Tap the left footswitch to start recording your phrase.
# Play your desired phrase.
# Tap the left footswitch again to stop recording.
#* At this point, when the digital "zero-meter" starts iterating from no zeroes to 4 zeroes, the zeros are now indicative of the length of the loop you've recorded. When the meter gets to 4 zeroes, your loop has reached the end of what was recorded and the DD-20 will be looping your phrase again in a moment.
#* Loop playback of the recorded phrase begins at the same time you press the pedal.
# Overdubbing additional phrases:
#* Sounds are overdubbed during loop playback only while the pedal is held down.
#* So to overdub find where in the loop you wish to play an additional phrase. Then, press and hold the pedal down as you play the new overdubbed phrase.
#* Release pedal to stop overdubbing.
#* If the ON/OFF pedal is held down only for a brief period, loop playback stops, and the recorded phrase is erased.
# By pressing the MEMORY/TAP pedal during loop playback, you can have the delay applied to the guitar sound as loop playback continues. However, you cannot overdub. To stop loop playback, press the MEMORY/TAP button again (Boss recommends Pedal Mode 2 or 3).

==Setup==
Here's the "boring" part of using the DD-20, but setting up the pedal will both set your expectations on how it will work, and will help build the familiarity necessary to work the pedal with minimal difficulty.

===Saving Delay Presets===
It's possible to take the delay you've configured in the "Manual" memory bank and save it to one of the other memory presets. For this to work, you'll need for the Mode control to NOT be set to "SOS" Mode. While this is more of a "Setup" than "Operation" function, this helps with "getting started" right away and so is therefore detailed above in [[#Setting Memory Presets|Setting Memory Presets]].

* Please refer to the Owner's Manual if you require more detail.

===LED Memory Indicator===
Changing the LED lighting of the 4 memory presets was one of the first things we wanted to do, but it took a long time to find. In order to change the memory preset indicator lights from the number of lights changing to the position of the lights changing, hold down the WRITE and SELECT buttons down while plugging in the AC adapter. All the LED position lights will flash. Using the SELECT, you can toggle between Led1 mode (position) and Led2 mode (number of lights). Once chosen, pressing the WRITE button saves this setting. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup with the LEDs indicating the memory presets accordingly.

===External Control Modes===
Setting the control modes on the DD-20 allow you to plug an additional momentary or latch pedal switch into the top and then to be able to use that plugged-in pedal for your preferred function:
# (Ctl1) Mode 1 only works with a latch (on/off) style (example: Boss FS-5L) pedal. Turns the delay on and off.
# (Ctl2) Mode 2 only works with a momentary (tap) style (example: Boss FS-5U) pedal. Sets the tempo of the delay by tapping in your tempo.
# (Ctl3) Mode 3 only works with a momentary (tap) style (example: Boss FS-5U) pedal. Iterates through the memory presets.

To configure the Control mode, when powering up the DD-20 (plugging in the AC adapter), holding down the right footswitch allows one to choose between the three control modes. The factory preset is for control mode 1 (Ctl1), as shown in the digital display. To change the control mode, power up with the right footswitch held down. Use the select button for the desired control mode, and then press the WRITE button to save the control mode. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup in this control mode.

===Output Modes===
Output modes are not to be confused with the control modes, described above. The output mode selected determines both:
# which output jacks get signal supplied to them, and
# which signal level is sent to those output jacks.
This is part of the required "familiarity" described above that this pedal requires in order to make using it easier.

* Output modes 1 & 2: instrument level: use between your instrument and the amplifier
* Output modes 3 & 4: line level: use in the effects loop of your amplifier
* Output modes 1 & 3 ('''odds'''): Input A & Input B are combined
* Output modes 2 & 4 ('''evens'''): Input A & Input B are separated

To configure the Output mode, when powering up the DD-20 (plugging in an AC adapter), holding down the left footswitch allows one to choose between the four output modes. The factory preset is for output mode 3 (Out3), as shown in the digital display. To change the output mode, power up with the left footswitch held down. Use the SELECT button for the desired output mode, and then press the WRITE button to commit the DD-20 to the output mode. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup in this output mode.

===Using the Output Modes===
The Output Modes do a few things:

* Set the pedal according to where it is in the signal chain, whether it's an amplifier effects loop (line level), or between an instrument and the amp (instrument level).
* Set the pedal for panning of stereo signal between the two outputs, or combining dry+wet and sending the combined signal to both outputs.
* Set the pedal's operation depending on whether there are two signals (stereo), or just a single signal (mono) going into the pedal.

While this provides a lot of flexibility, it can be awkward as it appears to have been done in order to cram a lot of function into the pedal using a minimum of controls. This does not lend itself to make the functions of the Output Modes easy to grasp. Even using the Owner's Manual, we had to work with the DD-20 ourselves for a while to ensure we understood how everything worked so we could describe it accurately.

In helping you get the Output Modes functions to work, we tried listing out how to use the output modes with the output jacks individually, but when we attempted to combine this with the understanding of how to use a single input versus both inputs, it got pretty complicated pretty quickly. This is what we mean by it can be difficult to conceptualize how everything's supposed to work. We found that our best solution to this was to build a lookup table. We believe it provides the cleanest presentation to aid understanding:

{| class="wikitable" style="left; margin-right:20px; background-color:#eeffee;" cellpadding="10"

|-
| 4 || +4dB (line level) || Input A<br>Input B || Output A<br>Output B || dry + wet<br>dry + wet || "stereo" *<br>"stereo" *
|}
Additional Notes:
* We're following the unfortunate definition that the Boss DD-20 Owner's Manual uses for the word "stereo". What Boss means by "stereo", in this instance, is a mono signal that is dry + wet. This use of the term "stereo" is incorrect but we've conceded to using it in order to maintain consistency with the Owner's Manual. It will probably more meaningful to your use of the pedal if you give more attention to column 5, '''"Sound Mix"''', than column 6, "Notes".
* If the DD-20 is set to either Output mode 2, or 4, '''*and*''' if the delay setting is "off" then <b>no signal</b> will exit through Output B.

==Pedal Manual==
https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/DD-20_OM.pdf

==Phase Inversion: Unknown==
The fact that there is no schematic available means that we're unable to determine, without an oscilloscope, if the DD-20 inverts the signal phase. That said, the schematic is probably so complicated (and given that there's a digital component as well) that it would be almost impossible for the lay person to be able to trace and determine whether this pedal inverts. Once we get it up on our bench with an oscilloscope, we'll report here if the phase is inverted.

==Modifications==
It is possible to lower the background hiss level that some hear in their DD-20 Gigadelays. We will likely be making this modification ourselves to our own pedal as soon as is reasonably possible.

Recently I became interested in improving the sound of my DD-20 Giga Delay. To that end I replaced the original cheap/low performance M5218 and NJM2100 op amps with modern low noise/high performance OPA1612 and OPA2365 respectively. Additionally, I added film bypass capacitors across the electrolytics which couple the various analog stages. Bypass capacitors help retain transparency in AC coupled circuits.

...

(later in the thread...)

The initial change to OPA1612s raised the quiescent current draw of the DD-20 to over 200ma which was a slight cause for concern; although I tried to track down possible oscillation I was unable to find anything with an oscilloscope. However, after switching to OPA1642s the current draw is now closer to 180ma, with perhaps slightly less background hiss.

Sometime soon I'm planning on revisiting the high-cut capacitors in the delay path because I'm getting a little aliasing distortion when used with my homemade A/DA flanger. I don't mind to lose a little bit of treble on the delayed signal. My biggest reason for making modifications was to open up the frequency response in the dry/bypassed path. Without modification, the DD-20 is a bit of a "tone sucker" IMO.

So it appears that it's possible to exchange the M5218 opamps with OPA1642s and the NJM2100s with OPA2365s. This would require some delicate work with desoldering braid and very clean resoldering in of the replacement opamps. OPA (also known as Burr-Brown) opamps are known to be very low-noise.

==Schematic==
We found a Schematic!

It's in a service manual. Found it attempting to search for the OPA1642 ICs to replace the M5218s that Boss uses. We'll update when we can!

[[Boss]] DD-20 GigaDelay. This is easily the most complicated single pedal entry we've made into the wiki so far. The DD-20 can be a simple pedal; but if you want to get into the details, it can also be a rather complicated pedal. So this wiki page is written in such a way so as to split the simple from the complicated, and as a result, it might be a good bit longer as well.

This double-pedal has been end-of-lifed by Boss. That means that it can be had on the used market for a relatively affordable price. While there are some complaints voiced on different forums about the lack of fidelity of the digital codec in the pedal, we haven't noticed an issue. That said, this pedal is very versatile and has many features that most players might not ever use in the course of the writing, rehearsing, or performing their music. We are a bit surprised that production of the DD-20 was ended, but that the Boss RE-20 Space Echo continues to be produced. It would seem the DD-20 didn't sell as well as the RE-20. After going back and reviewing the Owner's Manual and writing the Wiki entry for this pedal, it's clear that as a pedal, the DD-20 is probably more complicated than most casual musicians first expect. Compared to the RE-20, the configuration and functions available are more complicated. It's a fine pedal for a musician, but it takes some working with and a good bit of familiarity, so it's not hard to see why it was outsold by the more familiar and less complicated RE-20. Creating the familiarity necessary to be good with this pedal takes some time.

Despite the fact that the DD-20 has been obsolesced by the Boss DD-500, it's interesting to note that for 40 years Boss has been successful with pedals employing the characteristic "Boss-style" broad, metal "cap/flap" footswitches. With the emergent success of [[Dunlop/MXR]], and along with legions of boutique and kit builders that employ the simple button switches, it seems [[Digitech|Digitech/DOD]] has been coaxed away from their previous transition to the Boss-style "metal cap/flap" switch and back to the button switch. We believe that much of this seems to do with the fact that players have come to perceive that a button switch on a pedal signals that it's always true [[bypass]]. This seems in turn to have put Boss on the defensive and now Boss has returned to their mid 1970s-era button style footswitches for certain pedals, even if those switches don't actually make the pedals true bypass.

As stated above, the Boss DD-20 Gigadelay is no longer being made.

; Thermionic Studios has two (2) DD-20s available for rental.

* Knob 1 - '''"E. Level"''': (Effect Level) Fully counter-clockwise results in an inaudible delay effect. Fully clockwise results in repeats that are just as loud as the original dry signal before tapering off.
* Knob 2 - '''"F. Back"''': (Feedback) Select the number and intensity of repeats starting at fully counter-clockwise with one repeat and fully clockwise resulting in enough repeats to begin self-oscillating.
* Knob 3 - '''"Tone"''': Turned fully counter-clockwise this knob emphasizes bass; turned fully clockwise emphasizes treble frequencies in the delayed signal. The knob at noon results in delay repeats without any frequency alteration.
* Knob 4 - '''"Mode"''': Use the Mode knob to select from among several delay types ([[#Mode Knob|described below]]).
* Knob 5 - '''"Delay Time"''': This is the largest knob and is used by other features in the pedal, but it's main purpose is to -
** simple knob-turn: speeds up or slows down delay by milliseconds.
** slight push-down with knob turn: speeds up or slows down delay by hundreds of milliseconds.
* Footswitch 1 (left) - '''"On/Off"''': This turns the pedal On and Off; helps set and control other features.
* Footswitch 2 (right) - '''"Select"''': Depending on the modes set for the pedal, this switch selects between the manual, and each of the 4 memory banks.
* Button 1 - '''"Tap"''': Tap this button to set the repeats to match your tempo. Holding down this button toggles the view of delay time from milliseconds to Beats-per-minute (BPM). Top of the unit has a "Control Pedal" jack which allows an additional pedal for use as tap tempo.
* Button 2 - '''"Tempo"''': Allows you to set the delay time in terms of note lengths, from quarter-note to triplets to dotted whole note. Please see Owner's Manual for a more in-depth description.
** Buttons 1 & 2 together: '''"Light"''': This controls whether the backlight on the digital display is on or off.
* Button (red) 3 - '''"Write"''': This button is used to save a delay setting to a preset and how to use this is described below.
* Button 4 - '''"Select"''': Use this button to select from among the four banks of delay settings you may have previously saved.

===Jacks===
* Jack 1 - '''Input A''' (mono): Primary input
* Jack 2 - '''Input B'''
* Jack 3 - '''Control Pedal Input''': This jack allows one to plug in an additional control switch pedal for greater flexibility.
* Jack 4 - '''Headphones Output''': Headphones can be plugged in here for listening.
* Jack 5 - '''Output A''' (mono - dry + wet): Primary output
* Jack 6 - '''Output B''' (stereo or only Input B)
* Jack 7 - '''AC Adapter Input''': 9-volt power supply plugs in here.

[[#Output Modes|There is a table below]] that gives better detail on the full range of possible uses of the input and output jacks.

===Mode Knob===
* '''[[#Using the Looper|Sound on Sound]]''' SOS(Sound-on-Sound): Record loops with facility to record on top of the loop you've already recorded. On/Off light flashes in record/overdub mode, stays on in playback mode.
* '''Twist''': Causes an acceleration in the delay and shifts the delayed note pitch up when the left pedal is depressed. When the pedal is released, the delay slows down and the pitch drops back down. On/Off light flashes when left pedal is held down for this mode.
* '''Warp''': When the left pedal is depressed the all repeats are captured and then fed back to be repeated again. This results in ever increasing repeat feedback. When the pedal is released, the mass of built-up repeats slowly fade until pedal returns to original delay/repeat operation. On/Off light flashes when left pedal is held down for this mode.
* '''Tape''': Results in an effect similar to a tape delay where additional tape heads pick up signal and play it back. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob select between one or two tape heads in the delay effect.
* '''Analog''': Frequency-tuned to sound like an analog delay. Treble frequencies are rolled off for delay repeats.
* '''Standard''': Unmodified digital delay
* '''Dual''': Sort of a slapback effect, not unlike the "Tape" setting but you can set the time (50-300 milliseconds) between the "dual" delay repeats. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob select the spread in the "dual" delay effect.
* '''Pan''': Bounces the delay effect between the left and right stereo outputs
* '''Smooth''': A delay effect that "smooths" the repeats with the addition of some built-in reverb.
* '''Modulate''': Modulates the delay sound. As if you put your delay-wet output through a vibrato pedal. Holding down the On/Off pedal will allow you to use the Delay Time knob to select the amount of rate and depth in the modulations of the delay effect.
* '''Reverse''' : Delay repeats are played in reverse, creating a reverse-gated delay sound - almost like your instrument is a magnetic tape or vinyl record being played backwards.

==Bypass: Buffered==
Like all Boss pedals, the DD-20 has a buffered bypass.

==General Information==
As previously mentioned, this is a complicated pedal so the information and the instructions in this section aren't necessarily offered for just the people renting our DD-20, but for people who own the pedal (and ourselves as a reference!). We reset our DD-20 back to the factory specifications upon being returned from a rental.

If you're going to be using the DD-20 long-term in your signal chain, it'll help for you to configure the different modes on it so that it starts up the way you want when you power the pedal on.

Please note that the information here is the "abridged" version of what can be found in the Owner's Manual. However, please also know that this wiki page is the result of our working with the pedal, and our best knowledge from those experiences. We hope it will get you going a bit faster than it took us in using it in combination with the Owner's Manual, and hope it provides working information about the pedal in a manner that's easier to absorb.

==Operation==
We're starting with Operation, because every time anyone gets a new toy, they want to play with it right away. As described above, this won't make for success long-term, but we agree it's hard to read the manual first.

The DD-20 comes with 3 different pedal modes. The first pedal mode uses all 5 of the presets: Manual, 1, 2, 3, and 4. To get up and playing quickly with the DD-20, this is the best mode to be in. The Owner's Manual has good descriptions of Pedal Modes 1, 2, and 3 along with clear directions on how to set a preferred mode. Pedal Mode 3 is the only mode that requires one to depress both left and right footswitches simultaneously.

; Please also note that the WRITE button does not operate while the Delay Mode knob is set to SOS mode.

===Left Footswitch===
* Tapping the left footswitch toggles the delay on and off.
===Right Footswitch===
* Holding down the right footswitch will toggle between selecting between the memory presets, and the tap-tempo function, as shown by the LED indicator next to the footswitch.
** In '''memory preset''' mode, depending on which Pedal Mode you've defaulted to, quickly tapping the pedal iterates through the memory presets, or toggles between the Manual and your selected preset of the 4 memory presets on the pedal.
** In '''tap-tempo''' mode, by quickly tapping the pedal to the tempo you match the repeats of the delay to the beat of the music.

===Setting the Delay===

This sets the DD-20 as if it were to be treated just like a standard delay pedal with a single delay that can be modified by the knobs:
# Press the SELECT button to switch to Manual Delay mode. Verify by observing that the green LED indicator labeled "manual" is lit.
# Using the 5 knobs, select the kind of delay you want, how long you want it, etc...
# Once everything is set to your liking depress the DELAY TIME knob. This puts all the settings for the delay type and delay time into memory and makes that the default delay for the Manual setting. If the pedal is powered off, this delay will remain in memory and will be the default delay upon power-up.
# Done.

===Setting Memory Presets===
The DD-20 has 4 presets. Here's the procedure for saving a delay setting to a preset:
# Use either the right footswitch or the SELECT button to make sure that the LED indicator labeled "Memory" (vs the LED labeled "Tap") is lit.
# Use the delay settings knobs to pick the delay and the settings to the delay and repeats you want.
# Press the WRITE button. This puts the delay into "write standby" mode and causes the memory preset indicator to begin blinking.
# Press the SELECT button to choose the memory preset where you wish to save your delay configuration.
# Press the WRITE button again. When the delay configuration has been written to the preset, the LED indicator will begin flashing rapidly
# Done.

===Using the Looper===
The Sound-on-Sound (SOS) setting allows you up to 23 seconds of looping time. In the course of the loop, you can record more and more phrases on top of your original rhythm loop. However, the DD-20 isn't really a looping pedal, so it's not possible to save your loops and recall them later. However, you can record some stuff for yourself to play over for practice. It's possible to start a loop, and then change to a different delay mode so you can have a preferred delay type if you're going to be soloing over a loop. However, if you change the delay mode again, the loop will be lost and there's no opportunity to get back to it. It's gone.

====Understanding the Loop====
# Turn the MODE knob to “SOS.”
# Tap the left footswitch to start recording your phrase.
#* Before you start recording your phrase, you will see that the engineers at Boss, to the extent that was available to them, have implemented a visual meter that displays your progress through the available memory. This visual meter is represented as a series of zeroes, starting with no zeroes and building to four. Those zeroes increment to display how much of the 23 seconds of memory have elapsed or are being used. The LCD screen starts blank, and then adds one zero, and continues to build. When you get to 4 zeroes in the display, the 23 seconds are used up, and the loop resets back to the beginning and the visual meter reverts back to no zeroes.

[[File:Boss_DD20_LoopDisplay.png|frame|center|<div style="text-align:right">© Copyright 2003, Boss Corporation. Reproduced here under Fair Use.</div>]]
::*You don't have to use up all 23 seconds to get a loop going. It's certainly possible to record a just single phrase that is less than 23 seconds. The DD-20 will loop just that phrase. The DD-20 will then allow you to build additional phrases on top of that original loop.
::*Once the length of your loop is established, the LCD meter resets so that the zeroes "fill out the meter" according to the length of your loop.

====Recording a Loop====
# Turn the MODE knob to “SOS.”
# Tap the left footswitch to start recording your phrase.
# Play your desired phrase.
# Tap the left footswitch again to stop recording.
#* At this point, when the digital "zero-meter" starts iterating from no zeroes to 4 zeroes, the zeros are now indicative of the length of the loop you've recorded. When the meter gets to 4 zeroes, your loop has reached the end of what was recorded and the DD-20 will be looping your phrase again in a moment.
#* Loop playback of the recorded phrase begins at the same time you press the pedal.
# Overdubbing additional phrases:
#* Sounds are overdubbed during loop playback only while the pedal is held down.
#* So to overdub find where in the loop you wish to play an additional phrase. Then, press and hold the pedal down as you play the new overdubbed phrase.
#* Release pedal to stop overdubbing.
#* If the ON/OFF pedal is held down only for a brief period, loop playback stops, and the recorded phrase is erased.
# By pressing the MEMORY/TAP pedal during loop playback, you can have the delay applied to the guitar sound as loop playback continues. However, you cannot overdub. To stop loop playback, press the MEMORY/TAP button again (Boss recommends Pedal Mode 2 or 3).

==Setup==
Here's the "boring" part of using the DD-20, but setting up the pedal will both set your expectations on how it will work, and will help build the familiarity necessary to work the pedal with minimal difficulty.

===Saving Delay Presets===
It's possible to take the delay you've configured in the "Manual" memory bank and save it to one of the other memory presets. For this to work, you'll need for the Mode control to NOT be set to "SOS" Mode. While this is more of a "Setup" than "Operation" function, this helps with "getting started" right away and so is therefore detailed above in [[#Setting Memory Presets|Setting Memory Presets]].

* Please refer to the Owner's Manual if you require more detail.

===LED Memory Indicator===
Changing the LED lighting of the 4 memory presets was one of the first things we wanted to do, but it took a long time to find. In order to change the memory preset indicator lights from the number of lights changing to the position of the lights changing, hold down the WRITE and SELECT buttons down while plugging in the AC adapter. All the LED position lights will flash. Using the SELECT, you can toggle between Led1 mode (position) and Led2 mode (number of lights). Once chosen, pressing the WRITE button saves this setting. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup with the LEDs indicating the memory presets accordingly.

===External Control Modes===
Setting the control modes on the DD-20 allow you to plug an additional momentary or latch pedal switch into the top and then to be able to use that plugged-in pedal for your preferred function:
# (Ctl1) Mode 1 only works with a latch (on/off) style (example: Boss FS-5L) pedal. Turns the delay on and off.
# (Ctl2) Mode 2 only works with a momentary (tap) style (example: Boss FS-5U) pedal. Sets the tempo of the delay by tapping in your tempo.
# (Ctl3) Mode 3 only works with a momentary (tap) style (example: Boss FS-5U) pedal. Iterates through the memory presets.

To configure the Control mode, when powering up the DD-20 (plugging in the AC adapter), holding down the right footswitch allows one to choose between the three control modes. The factory preset is for control mode 1 (Ctl1), as shown in the digital display. To change the control mode, power up with the right footswitch held down. Use the select button for the desired control mode, and then press the WRITE button to save the control mode. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup in this control mode.

===Output Modes===
Output modes are not to be confused with the control modes, described above. The output mode selected determines both:
# which output jacks get signal supplied to them, and
# which signal level is sent to those output jacks.
This is part of the required "familiarity" described above that this pedal requires in order to make using it easier.

* Output modes 1 & 2: instrument level: use between your instrument and the amplifier
* Output modes 3 & 4: line level: use in the effects loop of your amplifier
* Output modes 1 & 3 ('''odds'''): Input A & Input B are combined
* Output modes 2 & 4 ('''evens'''): Input A & Input B are separated

To configure the Output mode, when powering up the DD-20 (plugging in an AC adapter), holding down the left footswitch allows one to choose between the four output modes. The factory preset is for output mode 3 (Out3), as shown in the digital display. To change the output mode, power up with the left footswitch held down. Use the SELECT button for the desired output mode, and then press the WRITE button to commit the DD-20 to the output mode. From that point, until changed or reset, the pedal will startup in this output mode.

===Using the Output Modes===
The Output Modes do a few things:

* Set the pedal according to where it is in the signal chain, whether it's an amplifier effects loop (line level), or between an instrument and the amp (instrument level).
* Set the pedal for panning of stereo signal between the two outputs, or combining dry+wet and sending the combined signal to both outputs.
* Set the pedal's operation depending on whether there are two signals (stereo), or just a single signal (mono) going into the pedal.

While this provides a lot of flexibility, it can be awkward as it appears to have been done in order to cram a lot of function into the pedal using a minimum of controls. This does not lend itself to make the functions of the Output Modes easy to grasp. Even using the Owner's Manual, we had to work with the DD-20 ourselves for a while to ensure we understood how everything worked so we could describe it accurately.

In helping you get the Output Modes functions to work, we tried listing out how to use the output modes with the output jacks individually, but when we attempted to combine this with the understanding of how to use a single input versus both inputs, it got pretty complicated pretty quickly. This is what we mean by it can be difficult to conceptualize how everything's supposed to work. We found that our best solution to this was to build a lookup table. We believe it provides the cleanest presentation to aid understanding:

{| class="wikitable" style="left; margin-right:20px; background-color:#eeffee;" cellpadding="10"

|-
| 4 || +4dB (line level) || Input A<br>Input B || Output A<br>Output B || dry + wet<br>dry + wet || "stereo" *<br>"stereo" *
|}
Additional Notes:
* We're using the Boss DD-20 Owner's Manual "stereo" terminology. What they mean by "stereo" seems to be a mono signal that is dry + wet. This use of the term "stereo" is incorrect but we've conceded to using it in order to maintain consistency with the Owner's Manual. It will probably more meaningful to your use of the pedal if you read column 5, '''"Sound Mix"''', than column 6, "Notes".
* If the DD-20 is set to either Output mode 2, or 4, *and* if the delay setting is "off" then <b>no signal</b> will exit through Output B.

==Pedal Manual==
https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/DD-20_OM.pdf

==Phase Inversion: Unknown==
The fact that there is no schematic available means that we're unable to determine, without an oscilloscope, if the DD-20 inverts the signal phase. That said, the schematic is probably so complicated (and given that there's a digital component as well) that it would be almost impossible for the lay person to be able to trace and determine whether this pedal inverts. Once we get it up on our bench with an oscilloscope, we'll report here if the phase is inverted.

==Modifications==
It is possible to lower the background hiss level that some hear in their DD-20 Gigadelays. We will likely be making this modification ourselves to our own pedal as soon as is reasonably possible.

From:

So it appears that it's possible to exchange the M5218 opamps with OPA1642s and the NJM2100s with OPA2365s. This would require some delicate work with desoldering braid and very clean resoldering in of the replacement opamps. OPA (also known as Burr-Brown) opamps are known to be very low-noise.

==Schematic==
We found a Schematic!

It's in a service manual. Found it attempting to search for the OPA1642 ICs to replace the M5218s that Boss uses. We'll update when we can!

== Madbean Pedals ==
Madbean power board (Road Rage) was first was purchased to be combined with JMKPCBs Testing Rig. Recognized need for 12v power and bought more for a total of 15 in case additional power needs arose. Will keep extra on hand to make 12v and 15v power supplies as necessary. I screwed up and bought the ProtoRig when I needed the ProtoRig Jr. I should be using the ZY-204 Breadboard I have, not the ProtoRig. ProtoRigJr. + the RRBB makes the ZY-204 way more valuable. Unclear what I need, enclosure-wise for Strober and sProbe.

* ProtoRig - This is a full breadboard and Madbean setup for power. We have this and it is a smaller unit, and so we prefer to use the ProtoRigJr, as it enables the use of our full breadboard on our [[Prototyping Platform]].

* ProtoRigJr. - This is the harness that sets up a conventional spring-loaded breadboard for 1/4" instrument cables and power.

* The RRBB is a Roadrage for a breadboard. It allows one to set power to -9v, or 9v, or 18v, and provides power to the breadboard. When using with a ProtoRig or ProtoRigJr, the power switch from the Proto must be set to "unfiltered".

* The Sprobe Tests a PCB that's already been installed in an enclosure. The switch on the PCB toggles between the "In" jack which presumes that the pedal is fully operational, and the probe, which allows one to touch various points on the PCB to get signal through the probe and to the amp. This is to help identify where the pedal may be failing before taking it out of the enclosure.

* The Strober allows for troubleshooting stereo effects, it is almost a copy of the ProtoRigJr. This is placed upside down on the bottom edge of the full breadboard on our Prototyping Platform. To use, all we have to do is rotate the bottom of the Prototyping platform 180' and now the Strober is "the top". The Strober and the ProtoRigJr must not be both powered at the same time.

Cool Widgets

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

| [[Mod Board]] || 3 || PCB || 1-13/16" x 7/8"<br />46 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Warble Control
|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

| [[Burger Feedback Looper]] || 2 || PCB || 1-1/16" x 7/8"<br />26 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Loops signal back into itself
|}
The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

Cool Widgets

Zander: /* PCB Mania */

|__TOC__

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

|}
The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

Cool Widgets

|__TOC__

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

| [[Burger Feedback Looper]] || 2 || PCB || 1-1/16" x 7/8"<br />26 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Loops signal back into itself
|}
The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

Cool Widgets

2026-03-30T17:50:31Z

Zander: Removed Testing and Troubleshooting Items. They will have their own page and references.

{|align=right
|__TOC__
|}
In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

| [[Burger Feedback Looper]] || 2 || PCB || 1-1/16" x 7/8"<br />26 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Loops signal back into itself
|}
The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

=== The Audition Box ===
This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

I screwed up and bought the ProtoRig when I needed the ProtoRig Jr. I should be using the ZY-204 Breadboard I have, not the ProtoRig. ProtoRigJr. + the RRBB makes the ZY-204 way more valuable. Unclear what I need, enclosure-wise for Strober and sProbe.

=== The Cutting Board ===
So the purpose of this tool is to make the "Rock it before you box it" step of pedal assembly and troubleshooting much easier. We're trying to do a couple of things here:
# Make sure that every kind of power (different voltages, positive & negative voltage) is available for testing, when appropriate
# Make sure that it's possible to not only probe for signal on the PCB being that can be listened to, but also have another probe that makes it possible to inject signal on the PCB. This is because we may not have all parts soldered into the board, or we may want to isolate listing to specific active components instead of the entire circuit. We want to be able to get power and signal into the PCB before it's boxed, and for that signal either to be a test signal, or an instrument. Also want to be able to listen through headphones for late-night efforts, in addition to using a practice amp.
# Ideally, once a PCB has been through troubleshooting with The Cutting Board, any problems with assembly will necessarily be with any off-board components mounted inside the pedal enclosure, making final assembly and testing much quicker and easier.

Cool Widgets

Zander: /* Fuzzdog Pedals */

{|align=right
|__TOC__
|}
In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

| [[Mod Board]] || 3 || PCB || 1-13/16" x 7/8"<br />46 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Warble Control
|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

| [[Burger Feedback Looper]] || 2 || PCB || 1-1/16" x 7/8"<br />26 mm x 22 mm || N/A || Loops signal back into itself
|}
The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

|}
Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

Cool Widgets

Zander: /* Fuzzdog Pedals */

|__TOC__

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals.

The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant.

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

Cool Widgets

In the course of purchasing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for our DIY rental pedal collection, some of the different circuit designers we bought PCBs from also offered some smaller PCBs that weren't effects themselves, but that could be used to do different and interesting things... Things like "blend two effects at the same time", or "add a warble", or "add a switch to toggle between different component values" in order to make the effect more interactive or more expressive. So where it seemed interesting and appropriate, we purchased not only PCBs for whole effects that would be housed in their own enclosures, but we also purchased many of these "cool widgets" (as we ended up calling them) to add function, variety, interest, and perhaps even some uniqueness to any of effects that we would already be building. In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

In some cases, this caused us to purchase more effect PCBs as we became interested in different ideas, and in other cases, we bought them wondering what we might come up with.

We haven't yet decided how we're going to be using all of these cool widgets. We don't plan on using them for the sake of using them because we've bought them. We plan on using them when and where we'll be able to find interesting functions for them. We want to build and rent out compelling custom pedals, not pedals you can just get anywhere else. Let's take that back, we are also making pedals that can be found elsewhere available, but that's because they're good but you may not happen to own them right now.

Here's what we have. Here are our thoughts on how we are intending to employ these widgets:

|}
These Mod Boards provide an additional "warble" feature for other effects, but was created specifically by Josh (owner of 1776 Effects) for the Multiplex Echo Machine. From the initial description of the standalone Multiplex Echo, we got the impression that it's possible to not only warble one of the emulated tape heads in the pedal, but actually both of them. We emailed him, and Josh confirmed this to us, so we're making one echo without warble, another unit with a single warble switchable between the two echoes, and a final unit with the two echoes each getting their own warble and controls.

The Burger Feedback Looper is a small PCB which is used to loop a signal and throttle it (using a potentiometer) back into itself, tweaking the ability to create more noise. This little looper PCB is obviously intended to put into an enclosure and make another control available on the pedal. We're not really clear right now where this control would be applied, but we're willing to experiment a little and see if this is a worthwhile endeavor.

|}
The Loop-D-Loop isn't so much a pedal as it is more of a useful tool to enable the use of instrument-level (-10 dB) pedals in an unbuffered or line-level effects loop in an amp (+4 dB). They have to be built in a manner that's just the same as a pedal in terms of parts and assembly, and despite the fact that they won't function as sound effect, they will be operated as pedals and so we'll count them as such.

If these relayed switches are cool enough, like the Fuzzdog HumStop, these could be put into many pedals. Uses 100,000-cycle Momentary Switch for True Bypass instead of conventional 3PDT which is only rated for 25,000 cycles. The internal electronic relay can go 200,000 to 500,000 cycles before needing replacement. This could make pedal switch maintenance much better and pedal switching much more pleasant. The pure relay takes about 50 millivolts, the

We thought the mod boards would be perfect for the Theremin Fuzzes as the "spooky 1950s" sound of B-grade horror movies typically involved a warbling theremin and we thought it would be cool to recreate this effect even though we plan on building our own theremin too! The RC Boxes are like vintage Resistor/Capacitor decade boxes, but even more functional than those decade boxes as with Parasit Studio RC Boxes you can also chain the resistors and capacitors into both RC or CR filters.

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

=== EQ Development Pack ===
PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with different pedal or effect preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find a better sounding result. Note the Asterisk with the Camber EQ. The Camber EQ PCB was not offered as part of the original EQ Development Pack, so we ordered it later.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.

; NOTES:
Several oddball pedals built out here. These notes are to clarify. Some included in "Miscellaeneous" below.
# Using 2 TOCT circuits:
#* First TOCT (PCB only) to be built into a Wah-wah with GGG Custom Wah PCB (for the "Mouth of Doom"). More than one PCB = Miscellaneous
#* Second TOCT kit to be put into a cheese wedge enclosure to compare to Dunlop Octavio. Counted as GGG since enclosure is novel with 3rd control knob.
# GGG Custom Wah PCB is combined with TOCT to make "Mouth of Doom". More than one PCB so counted as 1 pedal in Miscellaneous.
# 1454F "on-amp" box to house "The Wizard", a switchable Mask Audio Iommic Boost + GGG Brian May Booster. In Miscellaneous Pedals below.
# Tonebender Enclosure for "Goosed Tonebender" in Miscellaneous Pedals below. More than one PCB = Miscellaneous
