OK Guys... I will "unveil the artwork" on my Tychobrahe Octavia.

This is merely "Prototype#2"-- I did a quick acid etch to check the image spacing.  I have some slight issues... It should be slightly taller overall (note cramping at the knobs), and "Hex" should be lower... but, that is why I did the prototype, right!?!

Anyway-- this will ultimately be a my 1st laser etch...  Hence, why I am working on that K40 laser with Jimbo.  The enclosures are ordered from the powdercoater... and this should start real "production" units pretty soon.  MC

I used to really be with it!  That is, until they changed what "it" is.  Now, I can't find it.  And, I'm scared!  --  Homer Simpson's dad

Nice work! :)
You know, I'm interesting in this Tycobrahe Octavia. Is there a substantial difference of volume between the octafuzz and fuzz?
Thanks! ;)

Mark- Nice! This should be featured in a "top 100 effects pedals" article.

Thanks Russ.  You are too kind...

I actually needed to build another to check out some other issues...  I have a color changing LED in it now, and I needed to determine where the filter cap needed to be added (to keep the "creepy" sound from happening) -- accomplished.  Also, the noise filtering on the power input is not working as designed.  I have to disconnect one of the grounds.  As you can see the LED is lit with no jack in the input jack.  (That is almost resolved now too)..  It is a very nice pedal though!!

Some other things worth noting.  "Tychobrahe Octavia" is trademarked.  So, it is "La Tunda".  It will merely be marketed as an "Octave Fuzz" pedal... 

E.B..  I was playing with this early today, and NO, I did not notice a sizable volume difference.  BUT, I built this pedal with some GE's with a FV of about .39V.  The octave effect is minimal.  So, I need to pull them out and put in some with a FV of more like .33V to .35V...   

No rest for the wicked.

Makes a nice change from a sausage, duck.  BTW, who's Joan Fonda?  Is it Jane Fonda's Russian (bride) cousin?   ;)

Elijah-Baley--

I put in different diodes-- big difference.  There is a change in volume (louder on Octave).  I guess that is something for you to "solve"-- as it is not so significant as to bother me...    MC

Thanks-- hoping the "finished" final work is awesome..  The concept is good.

I have to double post this one . This is the first time I etched the labels for the jacks on the sides as well. A Rangemaster+Tonebender+Big Muff.

Here's another Taiseidou reverb I just finished. This one has a new version of the BTDR-3H that I modified to fit (the first version fit just fine but the manufacturer has made the outcase larger)

This is going to be a lm741 diode clipped distortion (MXR style) with added tone control and clean blend.

I don't sand my enclosures - just an acetone cleaning and then press and peel. Not as pretty as some - but it is fine for me.

Andrew.
