Thanks Andre.

This pedal is the bomb! I also used it w/ my lovepedal Eternity clone last week in the studio. Sounded really good.

Made a little sound clip too... if someones interested (came out sounding like a Russian sad song or something) ::)

TamuT, your clip and build are great!  Thanks for sharing them with us.

Nice builds by everyone and a great design.  Vibes can be pretty intimidating with the bulbs and LDRs and multitude of parts, but this one looks doable for a schlub like me.  I just ordered the parts from Small Bear and I'll be getting this one going soon.  Wish me luck.

Is it possible to use TL084 instead of TL064?

flo

You can use the TL084 but probably you'll get some "ticking" in the signal due to the LFO. The TL064 is used because it is a low-current device. For the rest they are pin compatible (see datasheets). So if you don't have a TL064, just pop in a TL074 or TL084. It'll work and just see how much "LFO ticking" you'll get.

Thanks flo, I'll give it a shot tonight.  I've ordered some TL064's but they wont be here for ~1 week.

A really nice build. But Dan, isn't it too big? ;D

@danielzink, can you give us a look inside?

Beautiful work,Dan! which label process is that?So Clean! :icon_biggrin:

Yeah Dan thats really!! nice, love the clean look and chicken head knobs.The font you used is what sets it off IMO.
I like big boxes and I cannot lie,you other builders wont deny...
I'm no EE or even a tech,just a monkey with a soldering iron that can read,and follow instructions. ;D

hi! I built the Tri-Vibe with a Basic Audio PCB. I only had a TL074 but I don't hear any LFO ticking. I do notice the effect but mostly on fast settings.

Otherwise it's very subtle compared to the soundclips.

Has anyone built one with the Basic Audio Layout? I tried to make it sound less subtle by running it into a feedback looper pedal but it didn't help even on the phase setting. I verified the caps but haven't verified all the resistor values to make sure they're all in the right place. I was very careful with POT wiring and measured all component values before installing them. I even tested all the diodes.

Thanks!

Scroll up two posts, that's the layout I posted  ;)

Biggest thanks to runoffgroove and André for this nice project. Sounds really awesome...

Actually this was my first pcb & enclosure etch... worked alot better than I expected  ;D



Where did you get that kind of font?

I've just finished it tonight and it worked from the first try, but, as tol said above, it seems too subtle comparing with the soundclips (I've built it using TL072, TL084, LM13700 and a 5mm red LED).
Thx a lot to the people of runoffgroove and to John Lyons too for this very nice project :)

Just a copy - paste from vero layout image posted by Slacker on page 6.

I can report that my build is also pretty subtle in the vibe mode at slow speeds. It is more intense at faster speeds.

But the swirl and whirl modes are deep enough at slow speeds... I like the character it has. Ole skool ;)
