Full Size DoppelGanger clone

Post by Gigahearts_FX »

Hi

Here is my contribution to those of you more interested in DIY than buying clones
I developed this document from my own v4 Dopp, which I've subsequently shrunk down

Everything you need to make your own full size Doppelganger clone is in the attachment.
This is what it sounds like:

Have a blast.

Here's one I made earlier...

This is a great project I've had my eye on for a while. If you don't like etching your own boards, word is that Haberdasher at the Madbean forums can hook you up.

(Kind of have been hoping that someone would step up with a smaller footprint double-sided PCB layout sized for Alpha pots and rotary switches. I've actually been looking into CAD software options to dive in myself next year. Foolish. Very foolish.)

The rotaries are kinda redundant apart from aesthetics on the dopp as they are just acting as SPDT switches

Ha! Well that will help my tracing efforts immensely and make for a simpler layout. With all the weird trace paths for all those jumps I already knew things could be much simpler as a two-sided fab'ed PCB, but that just throws gas on the spark of the idea.

And I found your Sharktank forum just now and your own fab'ed PCB version. Looks very good, though naturally a bit less "Big pedals to trip over." (That's the old Lovetone slogan, as GHFX we'll knows.)
