Harbinger One success!

  Wow!... So here it is, finally!
Lets set the wayback machine past 24 months or so... I first heard of the do it yourself pedal community and was intrigued at the thought of being able to make an effect pedal myself... the one I always wanted to make was a uni-vibe but, for me that was something I thought I could never be able to do because of the complexity of the build and me being a total noob that could not solder to save my life! So to kick start everything I purchased my 1st madbean PCB.. It was the Thunderpuss! And from there I continued on to other projects more complex then the next...   ANYWHO fast forward and FINALLY...  my Uni-Vibe - 

Many thanks to Madbean for all the great projects and thank you so much for the HARBINGER ONE -
This pedal sounds great... I can still maybe tweak the LDRs/Lamp orientation and all that fun stuff but... it more or less nails Jimi / Trower stuff in spades, however I am still picky on that exact warble that I hear from the Band of Gypsies stuff...     anywho...  I am rambling and here are some pics!



(I did my trademark move here melting the corner of that top left 1uF cap since I am all thumbs trying to solder the intensity lugs LOL  )

Yeah not sure the exact advantage of laying the LDRs flat or pointing them directly to the lamp... Was reading on GEO that pointing them at the lamp gives a more pronounced warble so I tried it. Shield is just flat black inside and if I ever find a proper shield that I can line with foil... I may try LDRs mounted flat...   

CHEERS!

That graphic is awesome.  Works really well on that, IMHO.

You're not the only one who does that!

Great stuff

Nicely done!

I swiped the cap from one of my wife's cosmetics sprays and painted the inside metallic gold.  Not sure it makes any difference inside a dark enclosure.

She's a beauty.  It's great to look back at what you thought you could never do and then see yourself stomp all over those old thoughts.  Well done.

I love that graphic!  Sweet job, and keep your eyes on the stars.

You will probably want a nut on that dc jack though..!
