Hey guys & gals. Here's a new one from me: the Celeste Chorus. It's a reproduction of the old analog Clone Theory with the vibe/flange switch.
I built this sideways like the original somewhat, but it could obvi be built vertical too, with right and left i/o jacks. The faceplate is an etch. By the time i thought about envirotex I had already drilled the holes in it, so i might just spray it with clear instead unless i figure out a way to manage enviro when holes are already present...
Enjoy.

sorry for the screen-rape with so many pix, i couldn't figure out which ones to keep. :P
Just Wow :o
Perfect inside and out. Fantastic work. Would love to hear a demo of this
Perfection! +1 on the demo.
Where did you get the knob indicator graphics? Did you make them? I have searched the web several times for something similar.
No Apologies needed, looks awesome Hab.

i do envirotex with holes already drilled. just tape from the back and pour away. when cured, drill with a step bit.
board flex may be an issue when drilling as et may lift easier, i only do this on aluminum...
Hey thanks everyone.
Bob, the knob indicator graphics were in a pdf I found on the internet somewhere. I don't know who to credit for it, but no, I did not make them myself. I hope its ok to post it here, apologies to whoever was nice enough to make them.
Thanks muddyfox, that's what i was thinking, just mask it from the back and go. Unfortunately this material is very thin and it would almost certainly flex some. I might give it a try though. :)
looks awesome
are you selling PCBs?
maybe if you put some harder backing material beneath and just leave enough room for the drill to pass, it just may eliminate enough board flex... it'd be nice to know if this is doable and repeatable.
i know other people have done this, et'ing the fr4... cant find who, though...
Awesome! Those graphics are the nuts, super clean
That's effin' gorgeous. Love love love this one.

Hey, yes i will be selling them. i don't have a build doc yet, but i can get a bom to anyone interested right now. anyway, i ordered 20 pcb's and built one, so 19 left for sale at this time. 13.99 plus shipping. i'll get a thread together in b/s/t in a few.
thanks
That is a beautiful build inside and out. Great job on the graphics also. I can't wait to get my hands on that PCB so I can box up my original big box Clone Theory to protect it. I just want to plug that thing in and play every Peter Hook bass line I can think of. Perfect build.

Sign me up I will take one.

So clean, so awesome! Nice job!
I've et'd etched plates before no problem. As mentioned, tape from the back, elevate off the surface (blue tak works well) and pour. After dry you can use a knife to clean up the edges and drill the holes. Nothin to it and it will ensure the copper doesn't corrode over time.
That is amazing, Keefe. I really like the graphic you did for that one and the wiring is fantastic.
a blöödy brilliant build!
Cheerio!
Beautiful :) and you made the right call on the etched/copper on the plate.
Spectacular! 8)
We always drill before Envirotex. Tape over the back of the holes, then fill them with 'tex followed by the rest of the top. makes re-drilling it easy.
Crazy clean man! Love it!
That is one awesome build right there! I love the etched cover and I was also looking for these indicators. Thanks for the pdf.
I love everything about this build. Great job, Keefe!
That is one solid piece of beauty! 8)
As the Fonz, would say, Perfectamundo ;D
Beautiful Build. But I want to hear it!
That is a fantastic logo. I enjoy fonts way too much.
The graphic design on this is pure class. Lovely!

That is a head turner! I love the flawless plate and the guts are perfection. Wow.
thanks for the kind words, everyone. ;D
Holy Crap!
Friggin amazing.
This is up there in my all time favorites.
Great job man!
What are the two pads next to the 4558 for?

Experimental/Optional highs reduction cap, can most likely be ignored.
Now I know how I missed this...I was in fact out of town when both this report and the PCB sale hit! D'oh...anyway, looks awesome and I think I need to YouTube these to see how the original sounds.

Hey Bret, sorry you missed out brah. I should have more in a couple of weeks though- no worries.
You can find a few demos of the clone theory with the edge switch, but demos of the original one with the 'flange' switch are few and far between. pinkjimiphoton has one though (i think it's a "stupid pedal tricks" vid of his). i'm sure you can find it on the tube.
Thanks man! I was having trouble finding a clip with the flange switch. Should have known he'd be the one to have done one. Going to check that out now...

Just to point out, while that demo will be close, it's a clone from the incorrect schematics online so wont be
quite right (although that's if that'll even show up in a youtube demo, probably not).
Thanks, I hadn't actually seen that one. I found one where he was messing around with an original, showing this in-between setting on the switch. Still curious to hear his clone, schematic mistakes aside...
hi.
if ya nose around my youtube, theres video of the one i built, as well as the original mn3007 one with the vib/flange switch. the project cathexis laid out on vero works and sounds good, but it's not the same circuit as this one, scruffie got gut shots and i checked any parts in question for him, so THIS project is 100% right on the money to the original.
props on this guys...
rock on!

Yup, gotta give a big shout out to Jimi, without him I couldn't have confirmed the cap and resistor values and this might not have happened.

@ Jimi and Scruffie !BRAVO!
And to Keefe... awesome build and thank you for bringing this to us!
