Title: DC Echo
Post by: Bio77 on March 07, 2022, 02:21:34 AM
Finally got this one figured out  8) Lot's of great builds of this one, sold me.  The circuit doesn't disappoint.  I set the gains with the scope originally, which didn't work out for me.  I end up using Betty Wont's method -> I adjusted the gains in short and long mode so that I got infinite repeats at the last part of the Repeat pot rotation. This worked.

The enclosure is no film on a seafoam green 1590XX I bought from Mammoth like 5 years ago  ;D  I've been saving it for something special.

Welp, that's as good as good gets. Really pro in every aspect. I especially like the rectangular bat on the SPDT switch!

Incredible job! Glad you got everything sorted! That board is so clean it could be a computer render. And great work integrating the Softie. This was a great project for that enclosure. (I miss those color options.)

These are a new offering from Tayda.  I usually stick with Taiway switches but since this one is off board, I thought I'd be safe enough.

Yeah, this is why I've held onto it for so long.  They had some cool stuff.  Silver sparkle was awesome.  I still have a gold sparkle from an abandoned project I might be able to repurpose.

I looked at the pics before reading the description.  I said to myself: "I can't tell if that is green or gray--I hope it's green." (You know, cameras and white balance, etc.....) I was naturally quite happy when I read the description.  Very excellent!

Wow! I mean the bar is already pretty high around these parts. I didn't think it could go higher but you have done it.

Nope.  Our benevolent overlord has commanded us to "Build All the Things," (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=33592.0) so get back to work!  ;D

It's beautiful.
I need to look into this no film stuff, it looks great.  Either that, or your technique with it is excellent!

What are you talking about? Those 2pt outlines are something I used to steer clear of before seeing you pull it off a hundred or so times  ;D  I am going to avoid placing holes in printed parts of the graphic in future designs.  The bit dragged some chips around the LED holes, this time.  Had to do some touch up with permanent marker to fix it.

You gotta make sure the bit is sharp. I got the step bits with a file every once in a while to avoided that. The only issue I have is once in a while the powder coat will be brittle after baking and will chip when using a center punch or drilling.
