Cool, so what are you going to make?

And when to get the potentiometers from? I can get resistors/caps & some other stuff from hobby2go or rhydolabz, but those I'm forced to import for CTS ones especially

 

A Marshall JTM-45 based pedal, TS808, EP Booster, etc
for pots, try kitsnspares.

 

Ah cool. Goodluck
That's one painful site to browse through

 

Yeah, It is a pain, go to shopping.kitsnspares.com, search with part numbers and you should find all that you need these. its pretty simple and you can pay by CC, Net Banking, but then the prices are too high....

 

So here is some progress........parts soldered onto the PCB......Back hurts now and so does the eyes.....had a hard time looking properly, too much glare off the PCB traces and the light color PCB made it even worse to see better.......
Here' the picture.

Dude any update on this? Are you done with the pedal or not yet?

 

Hey dude, i got the missing capacitor yesterday, done with soldering etc, now need to finish the wiring, which is going to be done tonight.....I am hoping to have all the wiring etc done and it should (hopefully) will work at first fire up.

 

Got the pedal to power up.....

So the pedal is done, working and tested out, i am still working on tweaking the voltages on the JFETS to hit the sweet spot.

Here is a clip I recorded off my laptop' mic, let me know how close you think the tone gets to a Marshall Plexi.

LOL - here is one, but i bet it wont sound like the plexi for sure.....A Plexi is a Plexi Sirji......BTW the video is of a 1969 Plexi.....

Just out of curiosity, where did you manage the circuit design and layout from?
Is it available on the internet...

 

Yes, but the mods are not......

 

Brilliant!

I have a great idea what to do for my semester project now...
