Title: Back to the 80s, and the 808 (PorkBarrel and Greenbean Content)
Post by: LaceSensor on December 04, 2011, 02:51:32 AM
Recommend both these pedals!
PorkBarrel v2 with vibrato and deep switches, mn3007

GreenBean with a nice little idea if I do say so myself of adding the Fat and Bright on DIP (on vero).
Nice array of classic tones. All diodes 1n1418 for now. Got some 1n60, 1n34a and other silicons to try when i get time. Tone = B20K
On/Off/On clip switch. so far I really like the no diodes option (!)

Next on the list is an FSB Aqua Puss v1 MN3005
Got this board rocked, need to box (and tune the trimmers)

Then the Dirtbag (v3205 :( ) and Currentlover (Mn3007)!

Great Scott!!!

All you need is a hoverboard to put your pedals on and you'll be set ;)

QuoteThen the Dirtbag (v3205 :( )
Turn that frown upside down... snake oil not required for echo win

How do you get all the time to churn these cool builds out!?

You're putting together some really clean builds. Fantastic wiring.

Ive constantly trying to get better with my wiring and make stuff neater. Cable ties can be quite useful. Having board mounted pots also helps a lot.

Here is some examples of my finest (in my eyes) work to date.

Aqua Puss from FSB.org and Tap Tempo Tremolo from Musicpcb.com

Have you found a good UK (or any good) source for board mounted pots ?

Thanks LS, I have messed with similar ideas but yours looks neat so I will give it a go.

Right one! These all look very clean! I also admire how much you get done..I'm still creaming over a light wah

Did you make the light wah then? I need to add an led source to mine sometime.

Very nice! What do you think of the Tap Tempo Tremolo? Worth The Hassle & Cost?

I keep going back and forth on that and Echo Base... just not sure...

Did you get a chance to try the Aqua Puss at 15v yet?

I think I should build the Echo Base...  ;D

That will mean owning 5 delays (I like delay don't get me wrong but not that much!) The Echo base plus a Memory Toy, Hardwire DL-8, Deluxe Memory Man Clone & The Deluxe Aqua Puss when it comes out.

Dude, I have WAAAY more delays than you, though I just sold my DD-5. The Echo Base is currently my second favourite DIY delay. I have't built the dirtbag yet though.

what is your favorite diy delay?

I do really enjoy my echo base also.

Hi

The tap tempo tremolo isnt a hassle at all its actually very easy to build.
I would recommend it. Its just a tremulous lune with tap tempo and more waveforms, so whats not to love.

With regards the echobase, its been on my board since I built it, so thats a good testament (replaced a Digitech Digidelay). However, I now have the AP and DMM to choose from.

Not a joke, I need a bigger pedal board.

(http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x374/LaceSensor1/Pedalboard/P1010877.jpg)

Biyang will be swapped with the 80s Chorus, the Mint berry Crunch is current off in favour of my 5knob woolly mammoth, but I might trade in the 808 for rehearsal tonight, see how it sounds.

The vibe unit might get ditched for this evening to stick on another delay.

Either way, I need to up space. Got a lot of stuff I wanna stick at my feet.

I haven't but I really want to. Read the whole DIYSB thread you linked, I'm very impressed. Did you get special LDR's for it or just Tayda's?
Title: Re: Back to the 80s, and the 808 (PorkBarrel and Greenbean Content)
Post by: LaceSensor on December 12, 2011, 06:17:53 PM
standard LDR seem to be fine.
I use Futurlec ones, but I reckon itll work with anything
just make sure they are all the same type.

Good luck
