Title: Lowrider, Evil Octaver!
Post by: pryde on January 14, 2013, 09:57:00 PM
Finally got around to building this up. Very cool overall. As many others report, the upper octave is not real pronounced and a bit fuzzy BUT it adds in a bit of bite and presence when mixed into the lower octave signals. This thing also sounds great with a bass.

So here is the evil eye octopus octaver...thing  8)

I agree on the graphics. Looks great! Nice and clean inside too. I finally started my Lowrider. I have about 15 resistors on the board so far. I guess I'll get it done in, what, July?  ;)  That's okay; it gives me time to think of a graphic this cool!

Yes I put in34a in D1,D2 and D8D9. Also did the C10,C12 tweaks. The upper octave is still a bit fuzzy but acceptable, especially as intended with playing above 12th fret using neck PU.

Also, thanks for the complements everyone
