John, that looks great (as always).

What's going on with the background?  I really dig it.

[pickdropper]

This is a 4-1 in recently did.  Lunar Module + Phase 90 + Reverb + MultiPlex delay.  The verb and delay order can be switched via the FWD/REV control up top.

[John Lyons]

Wow! That's fantastic. I Like the shaped control plates and the larger washers
for this build. The two textures along with the lasered text and black/silver theme
really looks sharp. Clean machine inside given 4 boards... Great work.

Just a wide aperture and some christmas lights.

pickdropper, this effect is great! I like it, man!
Respect

John, as always your pedals put a big smile on my face, hats off!
Pickdropper, you've set the bar incredibly high, do you have a background in design? Great job!

Actually, I'm far from en expert at design.  I've just found that by hacking my way through these things that I can come up with things that I like visually.

I will say that building pedals has greatly increased my ability to do things in Illustrator and to some degree Photoshop.  I think in another life I might have been able to do graphic design.  Until recently, I wouldn't have guessed that since I can't draw by hand to save my life.

I love how the plates fit together, like continental plates or something. bravo.

@John, the texture on that plate is beautiful!

and SLACKER...

...Paypal? Store? I don't even know what the hell it is, but I want one!

Very nice Ian, to me that looks like an FV-1 pcb you have gone and made. MMMmmmmm Lurvly

Spot on Mick, been working at it on and off for a year or so, I'll be posting about it soon, just got to finish the docs.
@garcho keep your money in your pocket for now

Looking forward to seeing it Ian, I'm also still working on my FV-1, thats how I instantly recognized the layout. It's amazing how much time goes by and how side tracked I get but I always end up going back to that DSP when I remember about it. Have you got any good plans for the Eeprom ?

Pickdropper - great build. What does the "warble" momentary switch do? I'm assuming it simulates tape warble. What 2 points does it connect to?

Hey Tim,

It is indeed designed to simulate tape warble.  It slowly speeds up the delay time while you hold the momentary switch and then it slowly returns to the normal speed as the cap discharges.

As to where it is connected in the circuit, you would have to shoot Josh an email at 1776 effects.  I just checked the build docs and there is no schematic in it.  Maybe it's on the website.

[timd]

Thanks. I was guessing that the switch had something to do with pin 6 of the 2399 chip. I was thinking about taking a 2399 circuit and adding this switch plus an additional cap or resistor tied into it for some fun.

It connects the power to the H11F1's LED (with a bit of a complicated capacitor network to slow down the charge/discharge), with the photodiode side of the H11F1 across the time pot on the second tape head. The schematic is on page 11, by the way. http://1776effects.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Multiplex-Build-Doc-1.7.pdf

Yeah, apparently it is.  How did I miss that?

Thanks Jon. Congrats on being featured on the 1776 site!

Pickdropper,
What to say, that design made me say "wow" out loud. Brilliant
