efficiency and heat dissipation of the TO-220 style may be more appropriate in cases of circuits with
higher current draws.
How to use the Road Rage:
I need -9v output to power a fuzz circuit
Solder D1, D4, C1, C2, C6 and C7 to the PCB. Omit D2, D3, C3, C4, C5, and REG1 . Connect your
DC jack to the “DC” pads and take your output from the -9/G pins (-9v and ground). BTW: ground is
ground. No matter if you are using a positive or negative ground circuit always connect ground from
the Road Rage to the ground on your circuit. In the case of a fuzz, we just connect -9 to the -9v
supply pad on the fuzz circuit board. It is that simple.
I need +18v output for my overdrive pedal (or whatever)
Solder everything except C6, C7, REG1 and C5 to the Road Rage PCB. Connect your DC jack to the
“DC” pads and take the output from +18/G. Jumper the two C7 pads to connect pin5 of IC1 to ground.
I need +15v output for my overdrive pedals (or whatever)
Solder everything except C6 and C7. Connect your DC jack to the “DC” pads and take the output
from +15/G. Jumper the two C7 pads to connect pin5 of IC1 to ground.
I need all the voltage outputs to use a power supply for my breadboard or really weird effect pedal
Solder everything. Connect all the outputs.

If you pruchase the Road Rage panel there are 6 PCBs included. This panel is v-Scored so you
will need to break the individual boards apart. Gentle finger pressure is all that is required to
separate the boards.
