Title: The MimiTron Octave Divider
Post by: pickdropper on December 14, 2012, 02:23:21 PM
This is a BYOC Octave Divider for my friend Mimi, who has been gigging a real one since the 70's, but just doesn't want to take it on the road anymore.  This should work fine for him.

It's a really cool circuit and worth building, IMHO.

That is beautiful. I love that old Mutron look. If I wasn't doing a Lowrider, this would be my first BYOC kit.

Is that basically a white waterslide on a polished metal enclosure?

Thanks Bret.

It is a white vinyl inkjet label on a polished enclosure with an envirotex topcoat on it.

Clean inside and out!

BYOC boards always look a little odd to me. I've never looked into them at all, since I heard they don't ship internationally.

It is a clean out.  At least that is what it is supposed to do, I never actually use it.

Nice build. I have an OEM schematic for the Mutron. I've been meaning to do my own layout for some time now. I got to play an original recently and it was a lot of fun.

I thought about doing a layout for it when a couple of my friends asked me to build them for them.  I really wanted to shrink it down a bit, but never got around to it.  If you do it, I'd probably be good for a board or two as I'd like a second one.  It's a wonderful effect.
