Title: S------ B----- [Chimeara] (non-madbean/Grindcustoms content)
Post by: midwayfair on July 23, 2012, 03:11:02 AM
Super secret mystery m---!

A true bypass ---- on Rej's (GrindCustom's) recent group buy PCB. Easy to work with. I settled on a pair of intentionally mismatched OA1160s in this. Unusually pretty sounding. I might eventually mismatch the diodes even further, but I stopped experimenting after breaking three (!) diodes. I guess I was due after handling a couple hundred recently, but it was still annoying. >:(

All the controls are redacted, but I bet everyone can figure them out!

Redacted?! Love it! True gov't style...

I'm loving Rej's PCB colors. My plus-dist is on the way!

Great graphics.  Reminds me of the night I was probed by the Air Force.  God I love this country.

How did you manage to break diodes? Nice pedal.

Don't see too many hand painted pedals.

If you follow my posts, you're definitely see too many!   :P

I'm not used to seeing your builds in boxes this big!

"TS: SCI"

Hmmm, you know something many people don't.

Exactly!  I clicked on this thinking, "I gotta see the witchcraft he used to get that in a 1590a."

I'm populating one of these now, so that diode kit I bought a month or so ago will get some more action.

A week ago I would have said "I'm not even sure I could just throw the components in there, never mind the board, and still fit the lid on top," but then this happened:

So, you know, obviously that's on my build list once the group buy happens ...
