^ LOVE the layout and knobs!

Whats with the trend of lack of guts? Been noticing it the past while.
Outside appearance is only half the equation in my books

You're right..
Here's the inside of my last posted pedal:

Interesting, a Superfuzz but what the heck does a germanium transistor in there? Oo

I was just trying different transistors and different "gain configurations" until I get a nice octave and fat (but not harsh) sound.

Triples the resale value 

You got me

A Superfuzz, that sounds nice and smooth? Pure heresy!  
A SF has to sound nasty - thoungh I have to admit that I'm fan of the Fu Manchu sound. Build about nine SF so far.

We're almost even, haha!
I didn't say nice and smooth, I like to get a nice octave effect and a FAT sound for riffs and single notes!
I'm uploading a video of this little beast, I'll let you know when it's up for you to listen and comment

EDIT: Here's the video.

Here's my Echo Base in a 125B, made using the PCB I designed. I used the small Alpha stomps because I had them laying around, but 2 blue 3PDTs will fit in there just fine. The toggle with ribbon cable is the Tails switch. The extra stomp switch will be selectable using the other toggle - depending on the setting of this toggle, the extra stomp will either turn on/off modulation, or make the delay self-oscillate. Haven't gotten around to wiring this yet, but if anyone's interested and can't figure it out, I'll post my diagram for how I plan to achieve that.

Nice, where did you get the PCB?

Or did you mean what fabrication house did I use?

Hi,

nice one! Though the both switches are a little bit close for my taste. Have you ever thought about doing the tap tempo switch as external controller (e.g.1590A)? Because I do as my Delay is in the upper left corner on my pedalboard. It's a shame that's no free sourcecode for the tap tempo controller out there. Another thing that bugs me is that it is realy hard to get digital pots in Europe. Don't know why but farnell is the only one who carries them and you pay so much postage. I know I could buy one from PTAP - but that would be like cheating!:D And buying in the States is always kinda... difficult... sometimes everything landes in the local custom office, which isn't that "local" which means near to me.

Cheers
Helge

Thanks, this was mainly does as a proof of concept to show that it could be done. I'm not a gigging musician, so the proximity of the switches and pots is no big deal to me. I mostly activate switches with my fingers anyway. This one doesn't have tap tempo, but if I ever finish up the Gigantor it will have dual tap tempo with switchable time ratios (PTAP2-based).

Now that I'm working with the FV-1, DSP is lots of fun, but doing "housekeeping" code like tap tempo is not something I get a kick out of, so I'm happy to buy something already coded for 10-20 bucks.

Hups, my fault - I thought this was already the Gigantor. The FV-1 is another thing that I always wanted to try - sadly the german branch does not sell them so I would have to buy it from the british branch. Or maybe I just buy a Z.Cat Poly Octaver and rip the FV-1 out of it.

My take on reverse etch, and one of the favos: BSIAB2

[philbinator1]

Nice vintage look man!   

[differo]

thanks:) funny that you mention that, I tried (well, recently I try that with all new builds) to recycle and use stuff from old hifi crap that I salvage from different sources, notice the yellow shielded cables from in/out jacks they are silicon cables from an 40 years old tape player (philips I think) and even wima  red film caps and some other stuff. Somehow I feel good that these parts still work but in a completely new devices. Nerdy but it gives me some satisfaction

O gotacha, thanks. Ive kinda been out of the loop the past while with school and whatnot.
Will these be available in a month or so still?

[Taylor]

Yep, probably.

[BoxOfSnoo]

How about only a gut shot?

No ground to the output jack?

[Taylor]

Normally the box can provide the ground the other jack (though relying n this may not always be a good idea). However in this case it looks kind of like there's a black plastic spacer on the jack where it would touch the enclosure, so maybe John didn't want this to be grounded for some reason? Perplexing...

[humptydumpty]

I think that the sleeve touching the enclosure would be enough to ground it...regardless of the plastic washer or not.
