the new craze for obfuscating circuits? when someone would go and open it up they'd only find "weird green blob component that is connected directly to switch", add a bunch of buzzwords such as transparent/warm/creamy/etc... and you've got yourself a $400 overdrive pedal  :icon_razz: :P

Imagine buying a pedal and finding that inside...  :-X

Or opening up a vintage pedal and seeing that.

Oh well, gotta call the pedal customer support and order another Blobular Cluster for 200 bucks. :)

Actually, this is just another step up from StewMac's Black Ice.

That's darned cute.

I can see that one as something to go in "Dirty Tricks".

Potted modules have been around for a long time - like the 50's - but that's a really good application.

Clever.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

man, i give this guy way more credit than that.  at least it would be sort of challenging.  the black ice is just two parallel schottky diodes, so i hear.  both are pretty lame anyway.

I was just stating the fact that the dipping method isn't anything totally new and there's a product applying that method. Going active is quite a step up, gotta admit that. He gets loads of credits from me. :)

Ooh ooh, what about cement-dipped IC's? Lots of exploring as far as dipping materials go. Now you have a chance to make your own Integrated Circuits dipped into... silicon! (you know, the rubbery stuff they use on constructions) :icon_idea:

Looking at the rest of his site, I don't think he is "blobularising" to be cute, it's just that he builds minimum size stuff to put circuits inside jacks & mod commercial audio stuff... the advantage of blobbing for that application, is it stops stuff shorting out afterwards.
