Title: Mandroid - Build 2
Post by: gordo on August 20, 2017, 12:47:01 AM
I totally butchered the first board trying to salvage pads that came off trying to fix botched pots.  I know better but soldered them flush to the board only to remember that the alpha switch sits too high.  Oops.

Anyway here it is, warts and all.  I was too lazy to replace the 1u cap I "touched" with the iron.  This thing sounds pretty wild and although it does lots of noisemaker stuff I'll likely use it as an overdrive.  Blending in a little of the wet signal and using the splode button gives you a really cool "swoosh" not unlike a flanger but a bit stranger.  It's as subtle or extreme as you want it.
