SO, Whats everyone working on this week / weekend? Any new interesting effects modded to the max?
Boxing up 3 projects and testing an echo base. That is if my newborn lets me ;-)
What are you up too?

Finishing up some long overdue pickup swaps, then fixing the garage door so I can do some clear coating in there.
Learning how to properly place a water slide decal on my Sunking II enclosure. Looks like I need more decal paper. :)
Troubleshooting my ibanez AD9 clone, and hopefully building a squarewave fuzz I've nicked outta the EHX microsynth :)
Boxing up a murder one on an OSHParked board.

I'm rewiring my Harbinger one....I decided on a couple mods to include and finish up a few odds and end projects so I can have my bench work area ready for all the cool boards a i just ordered from Bean. 2 more Harbingers, pork barrell, cupcake, collosalus, Deadringer 2, ROG Tri-vibe.
Needless to say I shoudl be busy everyday for a while!!! More cool sound makes though!

Wish I'd done that! I'm populating an etched one this weekend. Got lots of other stuff to do. Not stomp related.
Doing some mods to a Univox EchoChamber I recently picked up (my third so far). I'm starting to figure out the weak points of the overall design, and hopefully I can make some improvements.
Hmm, nothing too pedal related but I'll be blowing glass and working in the art gallery. While it's quiet in the gallery I'll be trying to teach myself french... I've put it off for years but I kinda need it living in a government city...

UPS just lost my PPP order. I needed a few enclosures to move forward on some builds. This could take a while to sort out.
Clear coating my V Fuzz enclosure and hopefully boxing it up.
Bread boarding a delay with four BL3208's (if they get delivered) and most probably spending hours trying to find out why it doesn't work :-\

Is the S-wah from GPCB? If so are they cool?
Finally finished designing the pcb layout of
an analog delay similar to aquaboy DLX without any modulation using 4 mn3008 (any 2048 stage delay chip) for 550ms.
It was one of the most challening pcb designs ever.. ;)

Hey man, I work in Beverly and drive through your neck of the woods daily. If you need an enclosure I might be able to help you out.
Thanks, neighbor! But I ordered 3 painted enclosures - 2 1590DDs & a 1790NS.

Yep. I've built one, and bought several boards, but I keep selling them. I found a board in my stash I didn't even realize I had. They are very cool indeed.

If the layout works, I'll be happy to buy a board. :D
I ve sent the design to the fab,
hoppefully in a couple of weeks I will have it in my hands.
I will let you know when they arrived.
I think mods or add-ons in modulation effects is one of the nicest path on the pedal building.
The chance to hit a wall by error is very high but when you finally made it, the feeling is something that you can't describe....
Lots of stuff on the bench. Good times. So much soldering lately that my tip on the iron needs replacing...switched to another stubby backup and have a new ETS on order for the Weller WESD51.
Shoot the Moon Tremolo Build (Orange clear LED works the best so far for max tremoloness) - need to box
Verified my layout for JuanSolo's "SuperJudge" PCB - sweet
"DistDeucer" Distortion II - Need to verify
"The Fuzz and the Damage Done" CrazyHorse clone - Need to Verify
Finishing up firmware for new "NoPop" and "NoPop" Mini relay bypass switchers - 99.9% there
Verified my "Model B" PCB - Based on Jack Orman's Deuce Coupe
Tap Tempo Tremolo - Using Sabrotone Chip, need to verify
"The Myth" A Klone PCB for 1590BB - Verified, making some tweaks
"Bodega" Barbershop Clone
Upgrading my stash of film caps to Panasonic ECQ-B, getting some parts organized, etc.
And more...

Daaaaamn, Rully. Wants!
I'll be crossing something from my bucket list.
As you may know I'm a bit of a car nut and I like to drive. We'll I've always wanted to do the Alpine passes and a pair of us have finally decided to bite the bullet and go on a road trip.
Lad I'm going with was recently separated and has decided to do a load of things he always wanted to. So last year he went on the mother of all safaris, this year he took a load of money from the house sale and bought an Aston Martin. He doesn't know if he'll still have it next year (and indeed I don't know if I'll still have the Porsche), so we've bitten the bullet and arranged a 10 day driving holiday.
We've dragged along a couple more mates as navigators (our route is ambitious to say the least). Bearing in mind that all three of the others are keen amateur photographers, expect me to bore you all senseless with my holiday snaps when we're back. Though we're also taking at least one drone along with us also so that could be interesting for some footage of driving up mountains!
So if you're en-route (France-Germany-Austria-Switzerland-Italy) and see a group of grey haired Englishmen noisily bimbling around some back roads, say hi!
That sounds like a blast, John. Looking forward to seeing those snaps.

Orange LED and Tayda LDR work really well in there. Then there are the Rej mods, and I quote:
C250K pot for speed.
B500K wave (instead of switch)
Also before the depth pot
there's a 330R or 470R resistor i believe
socket that place first
depending of the LDR...
and if you have 6u8 caps
go for it instead of 10uf timing
Fasssssttttter!
with the C250K and reduced timing cap
it's plain killer
super slow speed and super high speedIt's all good! We did all that for the one in the Alice (vol is inside on a trimmer) and it's super choppy if you need it to be.
I'm working on the ? Flanger. Resistors and tranny sockets popped—next up: caps and vactrols...
Then wire—fields and fields of wire.
Working on Haberdasher's A/DA Flanger clone. Just want to get it populated enough to see what I need to order ;)

That's awesome information. I actually did use a Tayda LDR and the 3mm clear orange LED was the best so far. I used a yellow at first, then a purple, and was playing around with some blutak over the assembly. When I took the blutak off (exposed to the desk light), the signal was way stronger so I knew that some improvements could be achieved. I will try the other suggestions you put in there... it's a great sounding circuit.
I'm inspired to make a Tap Tempo PCB version using Harold Sabro's ATtiny85 chip. The Tap Tremolo I have a PCB for is based off the Tremulus Lune, but i'm sure the STM one will also kick some serious ass.
We've found that Tayda LDRs favour orange & red LEDs. I think we used an orange on the STM2 and a red on the Machette. Both 5mm diffuse ones and roll-your-own stylie in black heat shrink.
Rapid LDRs like green LEDs.

Not bigger..."authentic"...for that premium Mojo toanz duder. ;D
Populating an Equinox II, and rocking a Boneyard, both Haberdasher etches.
I also need to strip back and refinish a box for a friend who wants a boost pedal (I've rocked the vero, all good).
Trouble shooting Lace's DoubelGanger. It's been a PITA so far but haven't had enough time to relax and get into the hyper focus zone. The off-board wiring is a bit convoluted. So mainly I'm going to enjoy some Gentleman Jack with a beer back, and conquer or destroy this beast.
My ADHD list:
I have a Pork Barrel that needs boxing,
1 Colosulus that needs boxing, (ready to drill but the freaking shop light burnt out over my drillpress..)
2 GPCB Fuzz Face's that need boxing
1 GPCB Zenith that needs boxing
1 GPCB Capt Munch that needs boxing and
3 optical compressors I need to box....
Oh and a Sho Nuff that I am going to put into a tiny desktop box I found.. very impractical and funny.
I really want to build, and I have boards for:
King Slayer
Sunking
2 x Britannia
Space Harp
Just ordered Dudes Celeste Chorus and his new Flintlock Flanger
plus more that I can't remember right now....
I'm going home....... ???

I've actually been taking a bit of a break. I recently finished up a Cosmo and Serendipity, but have stepped away from the bench to actually play more guitar and do some reading. I've got a couple boards that I'll probably start populating in the next week though.
I've been distracted by a new guitar purchase. Recently picked up a Melancon P90 artist from a buddy of mine. Great playing guitar.

That does sound absolutely epic. I would love to see any pics and/or footage.
You could always stage a scripted cross-continental race involving trains and bicycles, in which you and your buddy arrive at your destination mere minutes apart. You could cap it off with a scene where one of you arrives breathless, only to find the other just finishing his brown ale.
Seriously though, that sounds like the drive of a lifetime.
Just cleaned the car, checked all the levels and it's ready to go. Packing tomorrow and on my way on Sunday. Hopefully nipping in to a friends on Sunday who has an epic collection of cars (Ford GT, Ferrari 16M, Porsche 991 GT3, Lamborghini Countach). Mainly to chat about the route and wotnot, but yeah, I want to have a poke around at his cars ;)
I passed a Countach that was parked on the Street on a business trip a couple weeks ago. Couldn't believe how low to the ground it was. I saw them as a kid sometimes, but never really understood them. I think all told, the roof of the car was below my waist. I'm not tall.

Rapid LDRs like green LEDs.
I find the Tayda LDR to be «special», in some circuits like Trems, orange, yellow or red will all do a similar job. Red being the most choppy and yellow having the smoothest «wave ends».
If you move onto the optical phaser with 6 LDR driven stage, the more linear is the response of the LED the more uniform the wave will be. If you have irregullarity you'll just amplify it as you add stages.
Never really messed with using green LED so far, in think it's what i'm the most enthusiatic about the DoppleGanger built...hehe.
End of derail!
I just finished populating these....

Just ordered my first kit ever (apart from amps). Chiefly because I don't want to do the flying pot wire thing for my Klee boards.
So I've ordered nv's Eurorack panel+PCB set from Synthcube, went for the full kit so I didn't have to track down whatever special jacks it uses (or pushbutton switches.)
The 60bin racks are on sale at Canadian Tire, emptied them!!!! They only had 2 in stock... shame.
One day... ... i'll get all my stash out of boxes and have it sorted, P-Touch Time! ;D

I need to get a p-touch... the oldschool dymo looks cool, but the natural curve of the material can make it troublesome when it's on soft plastic that it doesn't adhere to very well.
Parts drawers for the win!!

Getting ready to build up three proto fuzz/boost type circuits, Lace's Doppelganger and a 5E3. Reading amp books, re-learning algebra (well, some of it) and looking sadly at the little Laney lc15r I haven't fixed yet. That should keep me going for a little bit.
in a humorous reference to my other thread, im currently working on damaging my liver :D
I have a few beginner projects im testing for the webstore, but things just take so long to do at the moment. Living out of home,house is being renovated, pedals are in storage, its kind of chaos!
