first build mammoth clone

[btbraden]

Well I just did my first pedal build using a versa board layout from sabrotone for the woolly mammoth clone, my first go the board wasn't working so I just decided to try again on a whole new board since my soldering had improved during my first board got it done last night and put back into the pedal enclosure this morning and it worked super awesome dirt fuzz and very verasitle pedal, anyone else have any good pedal build ideas or takes from a different fuzz, building is pretty cool especially when it works and sounds good

Lets see the guts of that beast, if you dare.

Nice job!

Will do not the prettiest since I pulled my first board out and reused all the wire to the pots and switch

Sabrotone is the bomb! Really helpful photos and many awesome vero layouts. Pimp-extraordinaire. Glad to hear you got it working too! It's like wizardry I tells ya, making your own pedal from what is essentially scratch.

This is the bad board

And the next one in the making a systec harmonic energizer

Where did you get those knobs?

 

[btbraden]

I've got pretty much everything from Tayda electronics they are like 30 cents takes awhile to get them here from China though I have some extra I could probably give up if u ask nice and they are the Colors u want

 

[xepher2792]

I probably won't be building anything for a while so I wouldn't want to steal your knobs

hey man, I've just did my clone of the mammoth using the same schematics, but mine don't work very well.. ...it works, but I've got a big loss in volume..is it normal? (hope my english not so bad..)

Definitely not normal. With the volume on that pedal at noon it is VERY loud.

if you're going to build one yourself i recommend this vero layout for the wooly mammoth. all of the resistors lay down flat and IMO, it's a bit cleaner of a vero layout and an easier build.
