Sounds amazing! Thank you Jon for a fantastic project and for all your help. I thank all of you for getting me through this build. I've had so many difficulties with this build, mainly to do with parts, so the build spanned through a couple of months but it's finally here!
This time I went for a bit more adventurous look with the faceplate, it's not 100% symetrical, lol, but I am not bothered by it. Since everybody always praises my ability to "etch" immediately after I post a build report, Imma just say it right away - noooo, it's not etched :D it's laser engraved by a local shop, I only do the design in Inkscape.
Jon, I don't know what kind of 1590Bs Banzai sells but the board got in comfortably, I do have it a bit to the side and not completely parallel to the enclosure but had the concetric pots been a bit lower it wouldn't have to stand like that. But yeah, you know how it is, it's always a balance between the positioning of the knobs and overall aesthetics and how you manage to pull it off inside.
I noticed ticking just this morning. So what I did was to wrap the entire output jack in copper adhesive tape and I wrapped a thick shielding cable inside the jack, that cable then went to the TH Custom Nope Relay little pcb so the output ended up being shielded throughout it's path through the enclosure. That solved it completely. Silent as it could be. I felt such relief.
That's it! I definitely needed some tremolo in my life. After some time I started distancing myself from the kinds of effects that overtake a guitar's sound completely and turned to effect types that build on top of what you already have and can be stacked together. So now I am into Univibe, vibrato, tremolo that sorta stuff. I used to be a major phaser guy, but now just find them to be too obscuring of the guitar sound, so what I like are the more mild variants like the PS-1A that I am still to fully debug although it's fully functional just distorts a little.
Cheers guys!
That is boss! Glad you got it sorted!
amazing build. Concentric pots! Genius!
thanks gents!
not so genius though, Jon did it a few times with his, I just copied him doing it! the concentric pots are f-in fantastic, really really save space and just look bithin don't they!?!
Wow!!!! I love this build - your style is on point.
Where does one obtain concentric pots?
Thanks playpunk!
Concentric pots? I got mine from Banzai Music and I believe Jon regularly gets his from Smallbear
That is an amazing looking pedal - I really dig it. Nice work!!
Awesome! Very impressive!!
Beautiful as always! Great job sticking to it!
Faceplate looks Phenonminal as with the rest of the build.
Looks perfect to me!
Holy crap that looks amazing!

This is beautiful. That face plate, color and knobs looks so awesome together.
On a side note, I am in the middle of building one of these for a friend and your gut shots made me more scared than I already was! lol

Amazing build! really inspiring.
Wow this is one of the builds i think i've seen coming from the community. Such a beautiful/top tier job!
I am flaberghasted and humbled. That looks perfect.
I have once again been taught that it's not a good idea to say someone "can't" do something.
You should be very proud for both this build and for sticking with this!
Impressive in every way.

That looks really awesome. Build of the year material right there!
Amazing! Beautiful! Wow!
SWEEEET!
Awesome!
Awesome build!
I really like the double potentiometers, what a gain of space!
Ticking is annoying with the TAPLFO (well I guess it is the same for every LFO digital ship), especially with square waves, I had the same issue, and removing the power supply resistor (100R), and adding a huge capacitor between the voltage regulator and ground (470uF) solved it too.

That's beautiful! I'm glad you got this thing working.
You guys... thank you so much!
Last night I rehearsed with the pedal and it worked flawlessly and the sounds was fantastic. I've tried all the three modes, with clean and dirt coming into the pedal and it handles everything too well! Just a fantastic little pedal, thank you Jon!
Beautiful all the way around, man. Knobs, faceplate design, everything. You killed it!
Thanks chuck! means a lot coming from you, I love your builds to death!
Everything about this build is incredible. Build of the year contender for sure.
Damn! You should be really proud of this one. Over the top awesome in every way!
very cool, I like the knobs, impressed you got all that stuff in there too!
8) Massively cool 8)
I love your stuff, and this is no exception. That faceplate is the coolest! And this is such a fantastic circuit. Really awesome job man.
