Pictures!

Looks like the bastard offspring of a Multiface and a Paia Fatman (where's the MIDI?).

I was thinking PAiA also!  John Simonton would be proud!

That's very cool.

Beautiful work. Very professional looking.

Thanks Rick!

Hello again!

As promised, here are some shots of the finished 1U rack, some details can be found in earlier post. The paint job was a bit problematic. I used acrylic paint and lacquer and apparently applied too thick layers. The finish is still a bit soft, so will have to be careful with it for some time. But overall I'm  quite happy with it, it is the first "pedal" I painted and decaled myself. Next time I'll know a) to use thin layers of paint and b) put less stuff on the front panel





BR,

any chance of a layout or something on this?  looks like an awesome project to try out and the relay thing is something i'd definitely be interested in learning

Anybody checked his basement for a bomb, that thing is scary looking  ..."the big one, its for you, I bring you the A-bomb.."

Hi,

@deaconque: I can upload the relay and power PCB layouts if you need them (although I should remove an ununsed relay from the relay layout). It's pretty simple. The relays are DPDT-relays (poles for fx in and fx out). When the relay is off the signal bypasses the effect and when it is on the signal goes to the fx and returns back to relay board. There the signal is moved to the next relay/effect and so on... The relay is switched on/off with a MOSFET (that connects the relay power - to GND when the MOSFET conducts). The MOSFET gate is normally connected to GND with a resistor. When the footswitch is stomped it connects 12V to the MOSFET gate which then causes the MOSFET to turn on and grounds the relay and the poles connected to the effect.

I can also draw a simply Paint picture of the concept if you need it, just ask.

@modsquad: you mean me or Dano?

I would also be interested in the relay switching diagram.  I think that is an awesome idea.

Very kind of you, I'm interested too in the relay switching system, if it's "click-free" ! 

btw in Italy 2008 is gone 20 mins ago, so happy new year !!!!

i would really like to see any info you could provide on this project, thank you.  i think it probably deserves i's own thread though.

Hi,

thank you all for the nice feedback!

I'll post my files in a new thread here.

Beautiful build, Volkmar!

Marshall Bluesbreaker. I've been experimenting with various high-gloss ink-jet paper things this week and did this one using Office Depot Inkjet Window Decals (part # 212-881). The resulting finish is like a black piano--very black and very glossy. Not terribly hardy, but I think some clearcoat would solve that.



Happy 2009!

ahahaahah this is great!! awesome!!

Here's the chorus I just got working.  First pedal that's looked good enough to actually post a picture of!  Its also not a huge tangled mess of wires inside, but still lotsa room for improvement there.

Here's my next one...

Great work! Where did you get this enclosure?
