Re: building a thunderchief.

That thing sounds great! I for one will be watching this thread and see how it progresses as I've been interested in some of the runnoffgroove stuff myself.
Please, lots of pics, to document your journey, and clips to show off the fruits of your labor.

Re: building a thunderchief.

yeah man, will do. i can't say that it will be the best quality but i guess i'll have solder cleanly now that i have to report to you guys.

this is also gonna be my first etched pc board....so that will be interesting. needless to say it will be an adventure and yes, i will provide clips at the end.

i've got a song in mind as well. linky


the issue is that smallbear takes so long to ship stuff out but i believe in helping out the small(er) guy. especially when the customer service/online store is so good.

so it might thursday before i start on this at all. especially since i've got the etchant on the way and that has to ship UPS ground....

Re: building a thunderchief.

didnt you build a fuzz?

Re: building a thunderchief.

yep....i'll make clips and such of the fuzz. i designed it more or less but the design is an oldy. just a half rectifier/op amp...then a op amp as a volume control after that. so i don't lose lows with el...volume control.

Check with Republic Aviation, but this should help for a starter kit:

Watch out for Jane Fonda. I hear she's a crack shot.

Re: building a thunderchief.

Could you explain, step by step what you are connecting to what and why? I'd appreciate that a lot.

PS: your first song on that thing should totally be AC'DC's Thunderstruck

yeah, that'd be fine. it should come a bit later today (it's 5:00 right now so maybe not......)



but i'm going to a friend's house so it'll have to wait.
