Ludwig Phase II Clone Debugging

So - did anyone else get one of these up to the "... why doesn't it work?? " phase yet?

Or did they all just work and no one had any questions?

I'm having my enclosure labeled and clear-coated so I'm not quite finished yet.

UKToecutter · January 29, 2012, 06:45:59 PM

Nearly done R.G.

Case needs drilling (the bit I hate !!!)

The sad thing is, she gave me $50 (out of my paycheck) the other day so I could buy something for myself when I was in Harrisonburg picking up art supplies for her because she has a show coming up. I went to three music stores and two pawn shops and couldn't find a danged thing worth spending my money locally. That's ok, I need a lot of other stuff, but I had to prioritize and strings for my Jag Baritone Custom, mineral wool for bass traps, and a tubes were higher up my list of things I absolutely need, though parts for the ludwig knocked transformers for my API 312 clones down a peg. The studio had to take priority because my old roommate and I made a resolution to do a split 12" by the end of the year and I have to come up with 18 minutes of music that is going to be good enough to be my first stuff pressed to wax (I thought it was gonna happen when Nonesuch released the Rhys Chatham album I'm on, but no deal... cd and mp3 only) Honestly I should have pressed things years ago, that's the thing about being poor instead of my current "making ends meet" but "wife poor", this is finally an opportunity to actually make it happen, hopefully when I get my promotion for getting my AS EE and starting my BS EE it will come with a fat raise!!! (of course I can wish in one hand...)

Has anyone else built this successfully yet? It's been awfully quiet lately...

pinkjimiphoton · March 10, 2012, 12:36:54 PM

i've got my boards in from dino, kep, but honestly haven't even begun to order let alone populate anything.

i would if i could but i can't.

R.G. · March 10, 2012, 07:14:42 PM

Well, when someone is ready to go, I'll be ready to dig in.

I...er... haven't had time to build my board set either.

I'm doing skunk works stuff for next year's product line.

pinkjimiphoton · March 10, 2012, 08:36:32 PM

i wonder if ron's bom is still valid?

i got so many other builds to deal with still...and frankly this is intimidating me a little bit!!

digi2t · March 10, 2012, 09:53:16 PM

I've just had too many other projects in the cue before this one. WEM project V, Talking Pedal, and the Talk-a-lizer got done. Ring Stinger is on the bench right now, next is the Meatball, Oberhiem Sample Hold, then maybe a Gretch Expandafuzz vero. The Luddy's not even on the radar right now.

In the meantime, I sold one of my Ludwigs this week. Some lucky guy down in Austin is about to join the "Ludwig Club". I've communicated with him quite a bit, and he seems like a pretty cool cat. He's also on the waiting list for an EMS Synthi Hi Fli reissue. He's told me that when he gets it, he would be willing to lend it to me to try. Hopefully, I'll live that long

. If it ever comes to be, like Paul the alien says, "It's probin' time boys !".

One day bro, not right now though. There are other "operational needs" insofar as pedals go. The wailing stereo phase II's are going to come from the clones.

pinkjimiphoton · March 11, 2012, 12:10:00 PM

i suppose we should try and frankenstien one to do stereo i guess...lol

Keppy · March 11, 2012, 02:59:41 PM

What do you mean? It already sort of does stereo. I guess since there are two bandpass filters, you could just assign one to each output.

Uh-oh.
