Title: Harbinger One/Univibe. Couldn't stay away for long.
Post by: Ben on May 08, 2015, 01:48:27 AM
My first "Vibe" pedal ever. As usual, sounds spectacular. Really nails Trower.

Large speed knob inspired by another Madbean build report. Initially for aesthetic reasons, I realized that it is very useful to adjust the speed with my foot while standing.
I am still looking something to use as a light box and also thinking about installing a jewel light.

Really fun build! Thanks Madbean!

Tidy build Ben! What a fun effect too... I'd say the big knob being used for foot control was your intention if it was me ;)

Ben, you did a phenomenal job on that circuit. Looks like you're a seasoned veteran. This is not an easy build. Great work.

Steve.

Beautiful work Ben!  I'm inspired to finally build one of these myself!

This looks awesome. Somehow the bare metal look is working for me here.

Also, it looks like you have the Dinosaur Jr. cow as your avatar!  :)

I think the knob is too small...it needs to be at least 3 inches in diameter! This looks great.

Don't know whether it would have worked, but with that huge knob it could have been cool to have the LED below the skirt and shine from underneath.

Not on slower speeds. It starts blinking around 12 o'clock on the speed dial.
