1000 competition !!

[Perrow]

Well, based on history.... It looks like this thread should reach page 1000 sometime around late August or early September. Should be plenty of time I would think  

This just shows that you don't know what I'm planning to build  

I fear it won't be finished before the end of the world  

Edit: PAGE TEN, lets see those page ten nail clippers.

great action on it...

I must be living a boring life. My nail clippers are old fashion.  

Maybe I'll get some Hello Kitty clippers to match my Hello Kitty underwear.

for those about to........

[davepedals]

Sure, let's make it 72 hours!

man i feel dumb tonight... so by 1000 posts, you mean: "« Reply #180 on: April 29," where reply would be #1000+? and 72 hrs afterwards?  if that's the case i'm in as well and will send my $$$ saturday night.  i'm going to build a no-brainer, my fave pedal but with 'end of world' type graphics/theme.  what is the url for the pictures page where we must post our build?
thanks.

NOT 1000 posts..... the competition entries need to be submitted when the Pictures thread reaches 1000 PAGES. It is sitting at about 966 now.

[Colonel Angus]

But Remember: ONLY 12 HOURS LEFT TO SUBMIT YOUR PAGE TEN ENTRY!!!!

I'm gonna win those toenails!

i had to rush it to qualify for the page 10 sub comp....but managed it...pheww...

its an...erm....er....erm...ahem.....virtual mind distortion with delay and 9000 stage phaser/chorus with optional vibe mode ,i also etched the box to make it look just like an authentic 1590b.
the ic is a 6785643234345550007766000676652232345455-1  heres the datasheet:

you did a great job on the etching. Layout is sweet too!

[Perrow]

Etched board, perf, vero, dead bug style ... meh 

Live bug style, now that rocks

question.

say i have an old design, 4 years ish, and i want to totally redesign the circuit and heavily modify the art/techniques used, would that be allowed? it would ne an "heavily inspired by" rather than just a mod.of.an.old.circuit. in my mind, if using somebody elses design and making yr own pedal out of.it is allowed, then probably so should this. but i felt.i had to ask and make sure.

I'm quite sure you can build a "stock" silicon fuzz face and enter, as long as it's built for the competition and has an end of world theme.

I doubt that your entry would qualify as a "previously built" unit as you are heavily modding it however, I think it is good that you are getting clarification.

We don't need no SCANDAL on our hands!!!

Hold on now, this is from a clarifying post by FC.

Does it have to be an original pedal design or just built by me?

Just built by you.

As long as you build it for this competition it can be any circuit.

yeah I'm still unsure exactly what it is I want to build. basically have an urge to redesign a ringmod inspired by my old one, and I'd like to stick with the old basic graphic and name, but after thinking about it, it's not very end-worldy.

so right now I'm thinking of something else I'd like to do that isn't just a refresh of something else.

1. some kind of envelope followed bit-reduction thing with ducking that makes plucks/strums/sounds progressively sound worse and eventually sound like loud crackling fire 

2. use the sierpinski triangle fractal generator I made and apply it to sound in some way 

3. something that uses as many xr2206's as possible 

etc. I'll do some serious thinking tonight I think.
