Hello!

I finished up this project a week or so ago. It's a programmable true bypass loop switcher, amp channel switcher and Neunaber Slate controller. The logic is controlled using an Arduino Pro Micro from SparkFun and it's housed in a 4Site 1032L from Pedal Parts Plus.

Features:

• ~65mA current draw max (all relays on).
• 3 relay controlled true bypass loops
• 3 relay controlled external switch functions wired to a 5 pin din jack (controls od, boost and reverb on my amp)
• 6 color-coded leds to indicate the current state of the six relays.
• Control over effect and preset on Neunaber Stereo v2 pedals via their expansion port (exp) interface.
• Preset mode (60 presets) - saves the state of the 6 relays and Exp. effect/preset in any of 10 banks of 6 patches.
• Instant Access mode - allows toggling the state of the 6 relays via the six buttons on the right, and cycling through the effects/presets on the Neunaber using the bank up/down switches on the left.
• 10" (W) x 2.6" (D) x 2" (H)

I decided to clean up some duplicate builds I had laying around in preparation for selling them to raise money for other gear purchases.

Here's a Double Flush build. This is just a temporary enclosure until I get a nice 1290NS from Pedal Parts Plus. I've been sitting on the PCB for months and just got around to building it this weekend. I really wish I hadn't waited so long. This thing is seriously awesome sounding. I like how squishy it is when it ramps up and how well it works with overdrive. I've added a few sound clips of it too.

Here's a demo featuring a few pedals I've built.

It's a Strat w/Lollar Special pickups into the following signal chain:
Gizmo overdrive (Jack Orman Son of Screamer variant) ->
Madbean Double Flush Tremolo Build ->
Ferb Reverb (GGG / Hermida reverb built on custom PCB) ->
'68 Fender Showman ->
Forte 3D 1x12" cab loaded with Jensen C12K

I turned the vibrato intensity up a bit on the second clip.

I finally got around to building this. It's a dual Hermida / GGG Reverb in a 1790ns with AMZ switching. I tried to get it to look like my '68 Showman since I'll be using it to provide reverb on both channels of that amp. It is designed to sit on top of it (hence the jack locations). It took a long time to assemble wire up. Like 7 hours or so. I think I may be doing it wrong. It worked first shot, though, and sounds great.

I'm in the process of creating a Dual Reverb pedal based on the Hermida/GGG reverb using the Belton brick. It will basically just stay on top of my amp providing Reverb for both channels of my old '68 Fender Showman. I did my own layout for it in Eagle and just got the fabbed boards in from Dorkbot. I don't have all the parts in for the dual version yet, but I was itching to hear the thing, so I put together a quick single build using parts I had laying around. It's pretty fugly, but it sounds great. The mounting tabs work pretty nicely too.






So you can see where I'm trying to go, here's the layout for the final product:

Hello,

I just built the Slow Loris using the older V2 PCB I ordered last year, and I noticed that there is now a new version with a few circuit tweaks. In addition to the Reutz pot, removal of the asymmetric diode option, and lowering C3 to 30pF (all of which I think I understand the effect of) there are a few other minor tweaks here and there. I was curious about what sonic effect these other changes would have. These are the differences I saw but would like to understand better:

- The opamp bias voltage connection has been moved from the junction of R2 (1k) and C2 to the junction of R2 and C1.
- A 22n cap (C12) has been added right before Q1.
- In the power supply, the second filter cap (C11) has been increased to 47uF and an additional 100n cap to ground (C12) has been added.

Thanks,
-Aaron

This is the Serendipity and Sunking projects built into one 1590BB enclosure oriented tall-wise. I've been using separate pedal builds of these two on my board for awhile, and needed some more room.

This is a demo of my "Reiterator" Dual Aquaboy analog delay build.

Reiterator Analog Delay. Dual Aqua Boy boards built into a Pedal Parts Plus Psycho Green Vein 1790NS. I used the Cool Audio chips. I set the right side up for shorter slapback and the left side for a longer ambient delay. It sounds great. I love the way the echos dissipate and liquify into the background.
