Build Your Own Clone Message Board

if i wanted to put two screamers into one box (obviously a bigger box). what would i need to do to power them? and how would i connect them without the center jacks?

There's nothing special that needs to be done with the power. The two can share.

Wire the out of the 1st screamer to the in of the second screamer.

ok, well running them in series is easy. you simply connect the "out" from lug 8 of the first 3pdt to the "In" that jumpers between lugs 4 and 9 on the second 3pdt. there ya go. i have included a diagram.

however, i am sot sure about power. i don't know if you can split the power from the 9V like i showed in the picture

thanks alot. can anyone confirm the power supply deal?

edit: so the out jack eyelet on the first screamer board wont have anything attatched to it?

huh? there are two eyelets: 1) out, 2) jack.

both are wired like normal. the "out" from the circuit board goes to the switch, then the switch goes to the next switch.

the "jack" is just a ground, and needs to go to the sleeve of the phone plug

roughly how many circuits could be daisychained in this manner before one starts incurring grounding problems or other noise?


i have an idea for wiring up all the modulation pedals into one box.. the space box..

There is no limit as long as your power supply has enough current. There is no grounding issue. You are basically creating a daisy chain inside the enclosure rather than outside and eliminating all the extra in and out jacks. As long as you view the project as several seperate pedals that just share one box rather than residing in seperate boxes, it's really very simple.

i think as many as you want. when you hook all your pedals up next to each other when they're in separate boxes, it's pretty much the same thing as daisy chaining them in one box.

awesomeness.

Well, guess it is time to start saving those pennies for a massive order.
Guess i need to spam up my pedals for sale on HC

what would be a good size box for two?
has anyone here done three?
what size box for three?
any stories or pics for any generally ridiculously large sized projects?

Why wouldn't you just build two? The price isn't going to be that much different.

Then you could move them around idividually to different locations in your effects chain, or use them with an A/B amp switcher so you have different tones for each amp... etc... doesn't putting two in one box kind of limit your versatility a bit?

yeah. it's more of a curiosity thing.

You should be able to comfortable fit 2 in a typical 1590BB enclosure.

Seems like using the second stage with the Landgraff clipping mod in 'off' position would give you a nice clean, solo boost built in to the screamer. Then you could always flip it on for stacked OD sounds. Maybe you could use a stomp switch to flip the clipping from clean to standard symmetrical or asymmetrical.
