Neat! Simple too. Love the BBQ rotisseire motor box use;



Lowes.... here I come!

the only part i don't get, is does it need an expression pedal? or does it sweep itself?
looks cool, but for some reason i don't seem to be seeing what he did...the video is just audio!


would sure like to see how he's got the expression part hooked up..looks pretty simple, but i don't quite get how he put it together!

I believe the expression pedal is just a platform on a hinge. Then there is a vertically mounted slide pot, and that white bushing has a slot cut in it for the slide pot to fit into. At least that's what I got from what little I can make out.

Here's a closeup.

thanks elvis! i think i'll just try and fit it in the cheap ass pyle wah pedal i bought to put the vocalizer in...and buy another cheap ass pyle wah!

where the hell did ya find the pic tho? i couldn't seem to find s*** on that site!! kept crashing firefox on me..

[theundeadelvis]

I found it in the forum thread linked by artifus. There's also a pcb layout in there. Let us know how it turns out.

[pinkjimiphoton]

i'll probably vero it, it looks like i could make it pretty small. gotta get a couple bucks together for the chips, but i think i have the rest already!!
could you post the link you're talking about ? is it here, or there somewhere?
thanks!

At the top of this page. Good luck! I'll be very interested in hearing how it turns out. Wouldn't mind building one myself.

Also, Top Top is still active here. In fact he just posted an hour or so ago.

[pinkjimiphoton]

cool, thanks again elvis...

i gotta gig tomorrow, if i get back early enough i may try and grab the chips so i can breadboard it up...or maybe just build it...looks like it will be fairly easy!!

hey dino....feel like whippin' up a layout bro? 

cool! this thing is gonna be fun!

[digi2t]

I'm on it brother, just give me a couple of days. 

[pinkjimiphoton]

no worries, dino, i'm in no hurry!! can't wait to build the thing tho, looks like it'll be a gas! should put an lfo on it and mount it in a strat, huh?

[Ry]

I'm in for a build as well, but not in a hurry. I've been on the trail of this pedal since '99...

[theundeadelvis]

Hey pinkjimiphoton what is the Pyle wah enclosure like? Is it metal? Does it seem like it will hold up? For $20, they seem hard to beat.

[pinkjimiphoton]

nah, it's plastic, but the jacks are in the front, and i think there should be plenty of room to stash a couple extra pots. and for 20 bux, hard to beat for a cheap wah enclosure!
it's actually not a bad sounding little wah, for a pos. the enclosure, jacks and switch are worth it. it ships with a x kinda dpdt, they only use one side, so it's most likely recyclable.

[theundeadelvis]

Thanks for the info! Sounds perfect for "prototypes." Then move it to a crybaby shell if it's going to be a permanent fixture on your pedal board.

[pinkjimiphoton]

yah, that's what i'm thinking. it's pretty sturdy, and dead quiet...may even work out long-term!

[digi2t]

I just wonder if a plastic enclosure will present problems insofar as noise/ground sheilding is concerned. But, I have to agree with theundeadelvis, does make a good test bed for the price.

Shouldn`t be too long on the vero, I have the perf layout, and it`s more or less copy paste, and insert the cuts. Might even have it out tonight.

Everyone, have a beautiful day.

[pinkjimiphoton]

i think i could shield the whole inside cavity with aluminum tape if i have to...not much in there!! i'm using a couple danelectro mini's on my pedalboard, not seeming to have any radio kinda noise, so i think i can get away with it. we'll see. but if i can't, oh well!

have an awesome day, brother! namaste! 

[digi2t]

WOW, market must be picking up.

Wonder how high this puppy will go?

21 hours left, and it's at 2750$ 

Guess 1200 bux for mine was CHEAP!!

I figure if we were real a-holes, we could have gotten away with 500$ for a clone  , but that would have just destroyed what little kindred spirit that's left in the universe  .

So who's gonna email the winning bidder with the news...   

God I love you guys!

[pinkjimiphoton]

holy SHEET, dude...

and it isn't even 100% complete or working!!!!

key-rist!!

maybe WE HERE at THIS FORUM should build some to pay for aaron's expenses for a while, maybe help recoup peeps build expenses etc?

just a thought, probably not cool...but damn!!

yah, i think peeps should know that they shouldn't buy something like that with no return clause...cuz without guys like us, they can't even get the things repaired!!!

[digi2t]

Yo (pardon the pun) bro....

Quick question. With the fuzz on and no formants, do you get a boost of volume when you toggle on a formant? If I have the fuzz on, and I kill all the formant switches, my fuzz volume goes weak. Is yours the same?

If so, I wonder if there's a way to either boost the fuzz volume, or maybe reduce the formants output. It's almost as if any of the formants acts as a boost.
