Title: Tchoper - Vox Repeat Percussion / Skippy Clone
Post by: mcasemo on August 06, 2014, 01:36:07 AM
I made a Skippy Tremolo from tagboardeffects layout, a vox repeat percussion clone.  It's called the Tchouper.  Tchoupitoulas is a street in New Orleans that runs along the river, named for an extinct Native American Indian Tribe.  The Wild Tchoupitoulas was a Mardi Gras Indian group who recorded an album in 1976 featuring some of the Neville brothers, pre-Neville Brothers.  Tipitinas, the famous music venue in New Orleans, is on Tchoupitoulas street.

So I have a tomahawk made from a resistor and transistor, and the crescent river shape, which Tchoupitoulas runs a portion of.  And it's chopped up! 

Sorry for the New Orleans overload.  Also bonus video of my 4 year old doing a demo.

Edit:  Sorry, I don't have a gut shot, I totally forgot to take one.  Think i was more proud of the outside than the inside.  I'll add as soon as i get it back from my friend/tester.

This is so cool. The artwork is on point, and the pedal is a blast to boot. I've built the hummingbird a few times, can't get enough of that chop!
