DEFX Hooke (clone of the Spaceman Effects Orion)

Board size (approx) 160 x 30

UPDATE 18 MAR. 2020 - ADDENDUM ADDED - BUILD NOTES AND PICTURES OF SPRING
MOUNTING OF REVERB TANK.

THIS PROJECT IS A CLONE OF THE SPACEMAN EFFECTS ORION SPRING REVERB.

IT RETAINS THE SILENT SWITCHING BYPASS SCHEME. WE RECOMMEND USING
A 1590D SIZED (OR SIMILAR) ENCLOSURE, AND SPRING MOUNTING THE TANK,
AS PER THE ORIGINAL FOR MAXIMUM NOISE ISOLATION. PICTURES OF THE TANK
MOUNTING OF THE ORIGINAL UNITS ARE IN THE BUILD NOTES. WE DO NOT HAVE
PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS AS TO THE TYPES OF SPRINGS THAT WERE USED IN THE
ORIGINAL UNITS, BUT WE SUGGEST SOURCING THEM FROM YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE,
OR AUTOPARTS STORE.

- REVEB TANK - ACCUTRONICS

AMC2BF2 - MEDIUM DECAY - 1.75 TO 2.5 SEC.
OR,
AMC2BF3 - LONG DECAY - 2.0 TO 3.5 SEC.
TANK SELECTION IS BUILDERS CHOICE.
FROM OUR DETERMINATION, SPACEMAN UNIT
USES THE AMC2BF3.
NOTES:
- IC1 IS PRODUCED BY MOLTEN VOLTAGE, AND IS AVAILABLE AT SMALLBEAR, OR OTHER AUTHORIZED
DISTRIBUTORS.
- Q1 MAY BE J201, OR ANY OTHER SUITABLE N-CH JFET AMPLIFIER THAT BIASES TO THE VOLTAGES
INDICATED INTHE SCHEMATIC.
- SW1 - IS SPST MOMENTARY.
- IC3 MUST BE TDA7052B - NOT TDA7052, OR TDA7052A!!
- LED1 IS BICOLOR, COMMON CATHODE LED.
- RE1 - RELAY MAYBE SOLDERED DIRECTLY TO BOARD, BUT MOUNTING WITH DIP10 MACHINE
SOCKET IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE FOR EASE OF REPLACEMENT (PICTURED BELOW);

MISC. PARTS:
- TANK MOUNTING SPRINGS - QTY. 4
- STANDOFF - QTY. 4
- SCREWS/NUTS/RUBBER GROMMETS FOR TANK MOUNTING SPRINGS - SEE TANK MOUNTING

 BUILD NOTES FOR THE HOOKE PCB.

- WIRING THE REVERB TANK (LOWER BOARD - WIRE PIGTAILS SUPPLIED WITH REVERB TANK) -

- INTER-BOARD CONNECTIONS - USE APPROPRIATE LENGTH HEADER PINS, OR MALE-FEMALE

SOCKETS FOR EASE OF DISASSEMBLY. ENSURE THAT STANDOFFS ARE LONG ENOUGH SO AS LOWER
BOARD COMPONENTS DO NOT CONTACT UPPER BOARD SOLDER POINTS.
- INSTALLING REVERB TANK IN ENCLOSURE - YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES. THE EASIEST IS TO SIMPLY
WRAP THE TANK IN SOME TYPE OF SHOCK ABSORBING MATERIAL (LIKE BUBBLEWRAP) AND INSTALL
THE TANK INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE. USE ENOUGH WRAP SO AS THE TANK WILL NOT MOVE AROUND INSIDE.
THE OTHER WAY IS TO MOUNT THE TANK WITH SPRINGS, LIKE THE ORIGINAL SPACEMEN UNITS ARE
BUILT. THIS PROVIDES THE BEST NOISE ISOLATION, AS PER THE IMAGES BELOW;

ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE BOARDS, OR BYPASS SWITCH. THE
1590D ENCLOSURE PROVIDES AMPLE ROOM TO PREVENT ANY SUCH CONFLICTS. ENSURE THAT THE
BOARDS AND THE BYPASS SWITCH ARE MOUNTED FAR ENOUGH APART TO ALLOW ROOM FOR THE TANK
TO FLOAT BETWEEN THEM.
- RECOMMENDED MOUNTING LAYOUT - PCB ASSEMBLY AS CLOSE TO TOP OF ENCLOSURE AS
POSSIBLE. BYPASS SWITCH AS CLOSE TO BOTTOM OF ENCLOSURE AS POSSIBLE. TANK LOCATED
BETWEEN THE PCB ASSEMBLY AND BYPASS SWITCH (EITHER WRAPPED, OR SPRING MOUNTED TO
ENCLOSURE COVER). 1590D ENCLOSURE SHOWN;

 ADDENDUM

THIS ADDENDUM FOCUSES ON SPRING MOUNTING THE REVERB TANK. THIS BUILD IS ENCLOSED IN A HAMMOND 1590D ENCLOSURE.

PARTS LIST;
- 1/4" THICK UNDERLAY FOAM (COMMONLY FOUND AT FABRIC STORES, USED AS UPHOLSTERY UNDER PADDING). - QTY. SEE PICTURES.
- #6 x 1" FLAT HEAD MACHINE SCREWS - QTY. 4
- #6 NYLOK NUTS - QTY. 12
- SMALL RUBBER GROMMETS (SEE PICTURES FOR SIZING) - QTY. 4
- 1/4" DIAMETER x 1/2" OAL x 0.020" WIRE SIZE SPRINGS - QTY. 4

SPRINGS;

THE SPRINGS THAT WERE USED IN THIS BUILD WERE SOURCED AT A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. THEY CAME IN A 1" OVER ALL LENGTH (OAL),
SO WE CUT THEM IN HALF, AND BENT UP THE LAST LOOP TO CREATE A 1/2" OAL SPRING.

1" SPRING CUT INTO TWO 1/2" SPRINGS. NOTE LAST LOOP BENT UP TO FORM END.
ONCE THE SPRINGS WERE PREPPED, A RUBBER GROMMET WAS INSERTED INTO ONE END OF EACH SPRING. THE END LOOP MAY HAVE TO BE
OPENED A BIT FOR THE GOMMET TO FIT.

NOW, WE MUST PREPARE THE COVER PLATE. THE FOUR MACHINE SCREWS MUST BE INSTALLED TO SUPPORT THE REVERB TANK.
POSITIONING OF THE SCREWS MUST BE SUCH THAT THE TANK WILL SIT BETWEEN THE PCB, AND THE BYPASS SWITCH.
INSTALL TWO STRIPS OF FOAM INTO THE ENCLOSURE, AS SHOWN BELOW. FOAM MAY BE SECURED WITH CONTACT GLUE (MESSY), OR DOUBLESIDED
CARPET TAPE (CLEANER). CUT A PIECE FOR THE COVER, BUT DO NOT INSTALL THIS PIECE YET. INSTALL IT AFTER HOLES FOR MACHINE SCREWS
ARE DRILLED;

ONCE TANK POSITION IS ESTABLISHED, MARK THE POSITION OF THE HOLES FOR THE MACHINE SCREWS. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE
SPRINGS WILL HAVE TO HAVE SOME TENSION ON THEM, SO ADD APPROXIMATELY 1/4" MORE TO THE DISTANCE FROM THE REVERB TANK'S
MOUNTING EARS TO ADD SOME STRETCH TO THE SPRINGS. IN THIS CASE THE HOLE LOCATIONS WERE AS SHOWN BELOW;
USE THREE NUTS PER SCREW. THE FIRST ONE TO TIGHTEN THE SCREW TO THE COVER, THE SECOND SHOULD SIT ABOUT 1/4" ABOVE THE FIRST.
ATTACH THE FOUR SPRINGS TO THE REVERB TANK, AND THEN MOUNT THE REVERB TANK TO THE SCREWS.

NOW INSTALL TOP NUTS. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO KEEP THE SPRING GROMMETS IN PLACE. NOTE SPACE BETWEEN TANK
AND FOAM.
WITH THE TANK NOW MOUNTED, PLUG IN THE TANK, ENSURE WIRES DO NOT IMPEDE TANK MOVEMENT, AND SECURE COVER TO ENCLOSURE.
