I'm really liking this pedal. This was one of those magic builds where it fired up first time. I spent a bit of time copying the original graphics to work on a 17xx box. I have no real graphics talent but I can copy stuff like all get out. This is a mash up of old and new EHX. Ripped off the graphics but went with the new knobs. I got the circles around the knobs damn close to straight only to bugger up the Wet/Mix switch. Oh well.
This one is in a PPP close out enclosure and there doesn't seem to be a way to capture the color. It's silver flake over purple and the purple just doesn't show in the photos. Because I'm a dumb-@ss I dropped it on my way back to the bench from the drill press so the lower right corner might be a better indicator of the color. Sigh.

Nice copying skills man, it looks sweet! :)
That's fantastic!
That looks great!
Wow! That's super cool. I may need to attempt this at some stage.

Very impressive, what a spectacular build! Love everything about it!
Beauty! :)
SUPER clean. Those graphics are ace.
Awesome, I love it
I wasn't even familiar with this circuit from Lectric
Looks really sharp.
Very, very nice build!
The guts are incredibly clean.
The Dandy Horse is in my TODO list for this summer. I hope I'll be able to do this kind of fine job.
Oh wow, I never know what to say on build threads but that is right up my street, love it, looks even better than my rusty old original and that's saying something.
No one's made any mention of the 'chirping' in their build reports, did you have any thoughts on that? I wonder if I over fixated on it now...
Yeah as a matter of fact I do experience it but really not in the ranges I play it in. It is annoying but totally in line with the original so I wouldn't alter it in any way.
I like the pedal because it's a big departure from other chorus and flangers. It's much more subtle. You can't get the rip that you can out of a 117 for example but you can get a very noise free bit of motion with a glassy top end. If you go after the seasick and fast rate you get the chirps but you can go either/or and it's quiet. Fast and seasick isn't really my cup of tea anyway.
This was a pretty easy build, but I approached it in fits and starts while parts showed up. Like you mentioned in the docs...measure all your parts for value before you commit to solder. I did have to unsolder the switch to move it out of the way of the graphics and that was a nail biter enough.
I get some noise at extreme settings. Also a bit of noise in chorus mode. Maybe a calibration issue?
That's perfect!
Here's a shot of the enclosure drying in the sun. I love the finish on this...

If your levels between modes, wet/dry and bypass are right, probably not, the only thing then that affects noise would be the cancel trim.
Noise will be induced in some chorus settings, the delay time gets really long and it's just the design, it's really only the chirp from the feedback I was thinking of.

Purtyyy.
To be honest this is one of the more quiet 3007 builds I recall, yet I don't hear any top end roll off to squelch any hiss. Would also be worth considering putting the Level trimmer on the outside.
Oh yeah the color is really nice!!
I wonder how it'd compare to the VFE Choral reef... :)
Bah... I give up. That's far too tidy ;)
Congrats, a most impressive build Gordo 8)
The finish on this is superb, excellent stuff
Holy crap,enclosure is killer
Hi guys!
I'm finishing to build this beauty, and I'm a little confused with the power supply... I've read 9v standard power supply (DC), but on the biasing note I've to check 15v~ and 7.5v~, this point put me in trouble..
Maybe someone can help me to be sure about what it's required to ?
Thanks
update : Damned isn't the good thread ahaha, I'm going to post it on the Lectric-FX announcement section
Awesome graphics! I really want one of those enclosures.
this is really outstanding. Lovely finish and enclosure, too
So much going on in there, yet so clean - nice work, sir!
That shot of the inside also looks like it's revealing some of the color.
What a beautiful build!
Is it a decal? Very clean and pro-looking!
How'd I miss this? Stellar work dude! 8)
Thank you. Yes this is a decal and it seems that the busier the background (sparkles) the more invisible the graphics.
Amazing build, friend.
