I've Been Doing Adrian's Favorite Thing for Hours!

[Sp8ctre]

...Soldering my Do It Yourself Compressor Pedal!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Nice work.

 

[Truss_rod]

Nice and clean, great work..

 

[Sp8ctre]

I can't go any further prior to painting the enclosure...I'll be doing that tomorrow!

 

[Sp8ctre]

...and thanks for the compliments. I'm not as good as I once was at soldering. Old age and bad eyes are a bitch!

Very nice! Is it modeled after any name brand compressor?

 

[Don O]

What are you using as the cleaning agent?

Here is a blurb and a link to the site. If this turns out well I may build some more. They are not super cheap, but I love do it yourself...

"BYOC 5 Knob Compressor is essentially a Ross Gray Compressor clone with the added "attack" knob mod, but the BYOC 5 Knob compressor takes the Ross clone to a whole new level."

For the solder clean up? I just use 99% isopropyl alcohol. I have these little acid brushes I use. Been doing it that way
for 40 years. It's what we used in the USAF even in High Reliability Soldering. Ever seen a PACE kit? Look it up, very cool,
but super expensive...I wish I had one here!

Yep, I use IA and these brushes I’ve had since 1978.

Same brushes I use and buy in boxes of 100!

I was a tad worried about opening this, worried it would be a masturbation thread, but it was worth the risk - nice work indeed.
(Although, we'd need to see the underneath to be really sure... )

Goid grief! I thought we had descended into more bizarre debauchery!

Pretty cool stuff there. Did an OD pedal kit a few years back. Mostly it works.

However. When I see a thread title like this one and Adrian’s name in the same sentence..... well..... You know.

Looking good!

I have to admit I let out a sigh of relief when I saw this thread didn’t include any junk or the rubbing thereof...

These brushes I like to use for spreading epoxy on firewalls and fuel compartments. This is to fuel proof these areas on my radio control Aircraft Models.

He mixed isopropyl and RUM to clean with after soldering.
