Title: Retrograde/Nom Nom/Dirtbaby 3in1
Post by: MADWAGNER on May 13, 2015, 01:12:30 AM
This is my first build report. It's a Retrograde/NomNom/DirtBaby 3in1. I did the drilling on the fly so it's not perfect. I used 1n695's for the diodes on the retrograde. I chose 22k for r35 and 220k r37 for the chorus/vib for the DirtBaby. For the Nom Nom I tried to do a mix pot mod. I turned r28 into a 1meg pot. But it doesn't work as a straight up mix pot, it reacts to the speed knob. It sounds really cool so I'm gonna leave it. Not quite sure what it's doing in circuit. So there it is... my first build report.  :)                     P.s. I have since put knobs on it.

Your first build report is a 3 in 1?  You go getter! :D.
You chose three pretty cool boards to mash together. I'm sure this sounds really cool. Great job! 

Steve.

Honestly, I really like finishing jobs like yours.  They remind me of basement shows with sweaty, stinky bands who have been on tour for 6 months and haven't eaten in a week... in a good way.  ;)  And whats the fun in designing and playing a pedal if you spend a month trying to get the aesthetics right?

A 3 in 1 for a first build report... Nice. I too like the aesthetic!

thanks everyone! I can't wait to do the next one! I appreciate the compliments on the paint job. I want to eventually try to use decals or etching. I'm gonna order some Blue and Yellow knobs tonight!
