Hey all! Here's a bunch of recent builds.

BYOC VB-2





The Harmonic Sink (Harmonic Energizer)



Added an expression jack for the Q control.



Syncrotron ( Mega Chorus.Vibrato)



A baffling number of parameters, so I gave them appropriate- and real, thematically related names. 



I built it with MN3007 and a bigger regulator for maximum head-room.



"el Segundo Primo"- working up my "useful" Spanish for my imminent trip to the US!



Made a few mods, but really dig it!.



Love these resin knobs!



Hadn't boxed it, but posted this demo a little while ago.



CMOS Theremin





Guts are a mess, originally I had a stripboard Rub-a-dub reverb in there too, but it was too noisy. I don't know what the enclosure is, but it measures 170x120x55mm, so it was fun to have that much area to work with. The large and quite thick enclosure seems to make a good aerial.

Very cool builds alltogether!
How does the Theremin work? pots instead of antennas?
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

My projects are labeled Quantum Effects. My shared OSH park projects: https://oshpark.com/profiles/m-Kresol

Thanks!
One pot tunes the range of the RF, the other is just volume. The enclosure is the aerial. You can set it to oscillate higher as you move your hand toward it, or so it's silent with your hand near, then produce a tone that increases in pitch as you move away.

Really great looking boxes!

Theremin seems very cool. I request a demo too. :) Is it your own design or can it be found somewhere?

Love the El Segundo Primo!
The graphic and placement is way cool.
And I can tell you with certainty that spanish is worth learning. Especially in my neck of the woods.
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

Cheers Guys!
If you consider a few minutes of squeaking and squawking "interesting", then here's the demo:  ;)
