New test rig thoughts

I have been rolling the idea around about building a new test rig and I have been reading up as much as possible on the subject. I have come to the conclusion I need to list out what I expect from it. So lets try this.

Most of this will be common knowledge but I wanted to get the thought process out.

Testing:

• Ability to hook up a PCB via clips and play an instrument through it.
• I would like to use headphones also. Added a switched headphone amp would be ideal.
• 1/8″ input for iPad/iPhone input to test with.
• Ability to bypass the circuit all together like a normal boxed pedal.
• Voltage sag control
• Charge Pump with -9v +9v +18v
• Connection buss for all test leads

Troubleshooting:

• Tone generator to use in conjunction win a oscilloscope.
• Switch between input jack or a testing probe.

Here is what I’m thinking of using so far:

Madbean’s Charge Pump “RoadRage”
R.G. Keen’s Quick and Less Dirty Oscillator
