Wow, that's a great looking pedal! Nice job.
Love the synth look of it and the square led bezels.

Thanks everyone!

Are you going to make a pcb available for the green currant vibrato? I'm eager to build that!

Yes, I'm waiting for prototype PCB's of the Green Currant. They should be here any day now.
When they are confirmed ok I will order more of them. I'll let you know when they are avaliable.

Tjena Fredrik. Kul med mer svenskt, och du har definitivt ett rykte härikring:). Jag får kolla upp din blogg ordentligt.

Syns vi på Fuzz Guitar show nästa helg?

Tja, och tack för välkomnadet!
Tyvärr upptagen nästa helg och bor lite långt borta. Kanske nästa år.

Sorry for the swedish, I will keep it in english from now on.
cheers / Fredrik

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Hi there fellas

I was first referred here from my blog because of the arcadiator thread.
Seems like a very friendly forum with nice people, so I think I'll stick around.

My name is Fredrik Lyxzén. I'm 33 years old and live in Umeå, Sweden.
I make my living as a freelance sound engineer, both live and in the studio.
Been recording bands since -01 and have my own studio since -08.
I have been doing live sound for about 6 years and I started my own firm 4 years ago.
For the last 3 years I've been touring alot with the band INVSN, doing FOH.

We did about 110 shows last year, so it was a busy year.
The last tour in was UK opening for Echo and the Bunnymen

I'm a huge nerd, love sci-fi (atm i'm rewatching Battlestar Galactica), gaming and kung fu movies.
I have a huge collection of old school kung fu movies (70's stuff) and retro gaming stuff.
Started to play music at the age of 12, kinda grew up in the punk / hardcore scene.
But I listen to alot of different stuff, love classic rock, obscure heavy psych, kraut and powerpop
Me and my girlfriend just bought our first house. We have two dogs, Wookie and Joplin.

For the moment I play in two active bands
UX Vileheads (guitar) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDJMp-mJ4Cs
The Dumb Fucks (drums) https://soundcloud.com/thedfs/the-electrical-machine
Not really music suited for crazy fuzzes, but I love to experiment with that stuff.

I started to build pedals only about 3 years ago. Before that I didn't know anything about electronics.
Like many of you I got kinda obsessed with it, but not just building stuff, learning how to work aswell.
I spend alot of time reading up on theory, experimenting on the breadboard and analysing circuits.
My blog is the result of all that time and the idea that DIY should be about sharing.

edit. forgot to add the blog link.

Hey
I just noticed this thread.
 

Wow! That is a great looking build, and the demo is just insane.

A LFO on the width pot was something I originally wanted (ala Escobedos PWM), but I decided to ditch it to keep the size of the circuit down. I'm pretty happy how many features I managed to squeese out of just three chips anyway. But it is indeed a nice extra feature.

I'm glad you like it!
cheers
