Free Shipping Week (06.11 - 06.18)! All domestic orders ship free. All international orders under $50 ship free (int'l orders $50 and over will be chraged the normal shipping rate).
New Projects: Kraken, Sharkfin and the Weener Wah II. Restocks: Afterlife, Kingslayer, Mudbunny, Road Rage, Double Flush, Chunk Chunk, and Current Lover.
Kraken and Weener Wah II project documents are online. Sharkfin project doc will be up later today.
A Maestro FSH board? :D Takemymoney.gif
'bout that international shipping, is it ok to make more than one order?
edit: perhaps I'm just overly cautious. All orders? OK, I'm in. ;D
Guitar pick ordered!
And some other things too.
I always forgot that pick because it's in the little corner there, so this time it was the first thing in the shopping cart.
And, BTW, thank you Brian for the free shipping!
No lowriders,NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Sharkfin doc is now up.
Sharkfin and some other goodies on the way. Schweeet ;D
Serious question -- why two 3080s instead of a 13700 for the FSH? :(

Well, I already borrowed a couple things from the Tonepad project and it just seemed like I would be copying it completely if I did that.
Ordered the sharkfin along with a few other goodies.
Is there a way to mod the sharkfin to get a sweep up and down switch?
IT would be awesome if someone was to come up with a project containing only the Sample and Hold side of the Sharkfin. I've heard that that's not so easy. Still, I'm prayin' for a project cause the S&H side is the only thing I would be using..
I have a Moosopotamous pcb of this etched but really thinking of getting a very first Bean!
Time to get my filter on ;)!
Sharkfin ordered!
Not something that I'd use all the time, but a lot of fun to have around.

you know, I was just setting up in Photoshop to laser print a transfer for the moose version, myself. Now I don't need to.:D

I'm pretty sure you can leave off the envelope without any problems. It's not that many parts. I'm not even convinced you'd get the whole effect into a smaller enclosure by omitting it.
You could replace the trims with a pot + resistors on both sides, to have external access to things like the balance of steps up to steps down. Might be fun. In fact, I might just go ahead and do that on my build when I get around to this. I don't really need TWO more envelope filters.
Sharkfin and Current Lover.. 8)

Yup, that is a good idea (about the external trims). You probably don't have to use resistors....depends on whether or not you mind somewhat broken settings at the extremes. Anyway, two 9mm pots for those would work out fine...there's enough space for it.
On the Kraken, why is the PNP transistor flipped compared to all the schematics? Emitter to CA3080, is that because of the mods?

Good eye! I just ran up to the shop to confirm, and yep I had it backwards (on both prototypes). Turns out in this case it doesn't matter: the transistor works either way and the envelope sounds exactly the same (which is why I never noticed). However, it is still a mistake, so I will get the project doc corrected and a note posted in the Errata forum.
Thanks for the catch!

Haha, I only noticed because i'd been trying to get this circuit working properly with a 13700 before you released the Kraken and started to use your schematic for reference as it was clearer.
On my build its orientation does seem to have a slight effect, get a more pronounced effect with it the right way, guess because it's feeding the bias pins. But then again, I also have something wrong with it anyway as at the bottom of the range pot I get distortion and no sweep. Something's... funky.
Oh, by the way, dunno if you want to add it to the PDF but on the original Music-Tronics schematic they list the RC4558 as the Op-Amp.
If it's already been said, I must have missed it: when will boards ordered this week ship?
Today, actually. I have yours right in front of me :)
LOL - spoke too soon - I just saw the 'your package has shipped' e-mail!
Thanks!
Kraken and double flush on the way! ;D ;D ;D
ORDERED
Harbinger, Stage Fright and Sharkfin
thanks for free ship :)
1 pick ordered!!!
oops... and some boards of course!!
You guys be careful with those icks, they're mighty powerful
Kraken and Sharkfin ordered! thanks a million, Brian!

Any idea when the Cherry bomb will be restocked??
