I took the layout from  https://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2019/07/boss-od-1.html  as a starting point, which seems to use the schematics from fffworks:  http://eu11.stripper.jp/pulcino/blog/archives/cat_boss_od1.html . A big thank you to both of you at this point. The first layout was designed using DIYLC, which like the rocket boost layout received some freestyling in Adobe Illustrator. I finally used EasyEDA to generate Gerber Files for the production of the PCBs Here I got some information about the housing's dimensions:  https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=100340.0 I printed the design on decal water sliding paper and applied it to the enclosure: I find it awesome, how the aluminum shines through the print. A 220K Ω resistor was missing so I took two 470K Ω resistors to create a 235k Ω.

Rocket Booster

Welcome to my new blog through which I will take you with me on my journey to create my first DIY guitar pedal. My motivation was, to learn a bit about electronics. While I already have a good understanding of simple electronics and theoretically know what a transistor, capacitor or resistor does, I always felt totally lost, when it got practical or I tried to understand what these electronic components do in a schematic – especially if it is an audio schematic. To overcome these shortcomings, I followed a tutorial I found on barbarach.com on how to build a clone of the LPB-1 pedal , a simple boost pedal, which works as a simple signal amplifier. To make things more thorough, I wanted to make my custom etched PCB and electricity etched Aluminium housing. Breadboard prototype Before I started to design my PCB, I made a simple breadboard prototype: PCB Layout I then continued with DIYLC to create my first PCB layout: After some hours shifting things in Adobe Illustrator I was able to g...
