What's a logical next build? Little angel or green ringer?

[gnort_2]

I have built a kill switch and the begginer project boost pedal.  Both were successes!  (With alot of help from you guys).  I would say I have taken the step from novice to begginer. 

What would be a good next build?  I was thinking the green ringer or a little angel chorus.  Which is easier and more foolproof of a build?  Which is a more dynamic sound?  Any other tips/ hits would be appreciated.  Thanks as always

Both are great pedals but completely different. The GR is slighly easier to build. It has a FET which is a bit confusing (to me) since the scheme symbol pin locatioons don't correspond with the actual FETs pin locations.

The Little Angel is a great easy to build (for a chorus) chorus pedal. You'll want to build one a some time.

Good luck!

I'm pretty new to this (in comparison to most here), Just finished a Green Ringer and it's not quite right. I think matching the components is a real need, so if you have a Multimeter that reads Farads (capacitance) then I don't think you'll have a problem, but if you've not then I'd maybe suggest the Little Angel?
Might be time to crack into the love of fuzz though! Get a DAM Meathead built, you'll never turn back...

i can't speak for everybody, but i'm glad that i tried a few things that were probably a bit out of my league earlier on in my still-early DIY "career". i failed quite a lot (and continue to do so!), but then i tried again and things worked. the Little Angel was one example of this - i got it the 2nd time round. i guess i just had no interest in making fuzzes. anyway, i think climbing a steeper slope but accepting that you might run into difficulties is actually quite a good way to learn more comprehensively. just my 2 pennies at least.  good luck with whatever you choose!

Perhaps you could try a One Chip Chorus (schematic on page 2). It sounds good and is nice and simple. There's a couple of different versions on that thread, so it would be worth reading through.

the green ringer is just transistors/diodes, no? should be easier of the two.

try an ea tremolo, or an improved ea tremolo, etc. learn fets, boosts and phase-shift osc in the same build. maybe something with an op-amp, like an mxr dist+ or a blue clipper. I dunno anything about chorus or digital delay.

Cost is probably about the same, as is build-complexity, size, and trouble-shooting requirements.  Both sound decent, though not the "best" chorus, or "best" octave-up fuzz.

For me, the major difference is that the one (chorus) is something one tends to leave on for a while, whereas the other (ringer) tends to be something you turn on briefly, "for effect".  Perhaps that will determine your next step.

Burst Box.

edit: Sorry, I mean Circuit Box with a Burst Button Switch.  I stand corrected...

Thereverend  matt bellamy doesn't have a burst box it's a kill switch. And it's not a BURST BOX  it's a circuit box with burst button...

Great.  Sounds like I need to build the bote of em.  Should be fun thanks for the input people and happy building.
