'78 IC Muff, Green Ringer, Saltbooster +

In general does anyone who has them find that Green Ringer's suffer from a little volume drop?
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 10:22 am
Not the way I build 'em - a little poke more than bypass if anything.

That's interesting, as the one in the pedal you built for me does once in a while, but I'm not really sure in what senario it does. I'm still moving/adding/removing pedals about on my board and not finalised anything yet.
Needs more testing

Hmm. If you wanted it tweaked to definitely give it a punt with a resistor swap or an external boost stage I could do that for yuo no worries. But it is going to thin out your sound depending on what you're playing (pickup, guitar, volume/tone controls)

It's fine Mike, it’s just something that’s been bugging me recently so thought I’d ask seeing as you have just built a Green Ringer.
Majority of the time it's ok but just once in a while when stomping on the GR switch volume drops. Like I said it's probably more to do with something I'm doing or something in the chain that is interfering. Once I've worked out what it is I'll stop doing it or remove it.
TBH you can't really predict what this pedal will do, everytime it's stepped on it does something different

Rapes the bloody ink cartridge though

At MadeByMike HQ we now have PCBs!
Erm.. and an ink stamp?

PRO SETUP.
Selling well, then, these Dream Boxes?

Yup, they seem to be, which is nice. They're a bunch of work but I'm really proud of it as it's something I can claim design rights to more than anything I've done in the past, since my Dist2 is a complete re-engineering of the original, not just a straight warts and all clone.

Le wow. Not sure if I knew you had PCBs coming.
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:08 am
they look snazzy mike, how do they sound? are you happy with them and does it cut down on production time significantly?
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:14 am
These are my first ones. I've been chatting to other Tim about this and he gave me some hints. I've designed them for the Dream Box, '78 IC Muff and a Green Muff/Ram's Head Muff version also and had these manufactured for test.
I'm going to hopefully get a batch of each of these made up but getting a test batch made involves a degree of risk (and cost).
Chris, they sound the same (I saw you ask Tim this question too), a PCB is just another way of connecting components - there is no sound change. They do increase production time significantly and completely eliminate any chance of error basically.
