EP + OCD v2

This is an EP Booster and OCD v2 in a single 125 enclosure.

You can buy a PCB here. Alternatively this repository contains everything you need to build it on your own.

Warning

This pedal fits a LOT of components into a very tight space. It requires some tricky soldering and a bit of planning.

Most notably:

  • fitting the top-mounted jacks might require leaving longer legs on some caps to bend them out of the way. And/or cutting unused legs off the jacks.
  • soldering the pots requires working in very tight spots. You can make it a bit easier by leaving some capacitors off before adding the pots, but just be sure their holes aren't blocked by the pot.

Assembly

  • Sorry I don't have a detailed assembly guide, and probably won't write one, but email me if you have questions: mark@mas-effects.com. See the documents in these folders:
  • Note: The "lighthouse" LED is totally optional, and you'll probably want to omit it.
  • Black PCB: FIXES required: If you fabricate your own PCBs from the gerber files or have purchased a blue PCB they will work without modification. But if you purchased a black PCB from me there are 2 important fixes to make:

Fix 1: Boost Pot (BLACK PCB only)

  1. Cut off leg 2 of the boost pot. i.e. don't connect it to the board.
  2. Solder a jumper from leg 2 to leg 1

Fix 2: Missing trace (BLACK PCB only)

Solder a jumper wire from the base of Q2 to middle leg of the SW2 (bright switch).
