Stomp Box Developer DIY guitar effects breadboard prototyping platform

Stomp Box Developer removes all the friction from getting a guitar or synth effects idea together quickly – the power, audio and switching are ready to go. It’s portable with an onboard battery, and robust enough to move from the bench to the floor to be stomped on.

Designed for ease of getting ideas down fast, the board features:

• Huge, highest quality 2490 point breadboard from BusBoard Prototype Systems (BPS)
• Robust 3PDT switch for true audio bypass with grounded enclosure
• Clean audio in and out – power switched with IN jack, preserving the battery life
• Power supply can be 9V (onboard battery holder) or external (via DC jack) up to 18V
• Reverse polarity protected using a high power PFET for minimal voltage loss
• Mid-rail (nominally 4.5V) or 9V available on all power strips – color coded shorting links included! (Or disconnect and create your own bias / negative rails locally)
• Color-coded test points on all power rails, input and output for ease of debug and analysis
• 2.1mm DC jack and 9V battery power (DC jack overrides battery when plugged in)
• Robust physical construction, rubber feet – won’t slip!

I first built these for my own development efforts, and didn't spare any expense - eg the BPS boards selection, Alpha switches, Rean connectors, 4 layer PCBs and ribbon cable etc.

They are reliable, robust and modular, allowing repairs if you damage something!

I also sell a 3PDT bypass switch kit - uncommitted wiring with a ground screen) using the same Alpha switch, a PCB and ribbon cable - so you can rapidly (and cleanly!) build a prototype. Check out my other listings and effects units!
