Title: Bunch of builds…again
Post by: jimilee on September 30, 2021, 10:48:01 PM
Let's start with an old school tremolo, I really like the way this think works.

Next is an EQD Hummingbird

Then, we'll go to an Ultra 78

Then we have an EQD White Light

Thank you sir. After I saw the demo, I was fascinated by its ability to slow down as the notes rang out.

Sweet builds jimilee.  Triple DIY points for etched boards.

Damn that Old School is too slick.  I love my build but yours adds a big scoop of cool graphics.

Everything looks great, but that Old School looks even more so!

High praise from Madbean himself . I feel  most honored, thank you! I can work some photoshop just enough to be dangerous.

Great work, Jimi! I dig the graphic for the White Light, and you can't go wrong with a Trans-Am. That Old School look is killing it!

What's more ultra 78 than the trans-am firebird?

+100 on the graphics man.
How do you apply your graphics to the enclosure, if that's not a rude question? I have had some success with water slide decals, but would like to explore other options. For me, the graphics are half the fun of a build.
Also, did you design the circuit for the Old School, or is it modeled/modded from another pedal. I would like to try my hand next at a tremolo.
TIA

Hey hey, thank you. I use water slide decals and cover them with enviro tex. The circuit itself is a VFE circuit that Brian sells in the store. It's a wicked cool circuit. You can set it to helicopter slow dissolve as the note resolves or the reverse of that. I think it's pretty awesome, While waiting on parts for it, I decided to build the hummingbird, which is an EQD pedal, obviously. You need to grab one.
