I posted about these after buying a couple for myself the other day....
The seller listed more of these. Looks like the price went up $10 from the previous listing but still not too bad if you're interested in having one.

Very interesting. Must be leftover stock from when Blackout went under. That's definitely the production PCB and it looks like the production assembly sheet as well.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm really tempted to get one. I had one way back when and loved it.
Yeah, I'm not sur how many he's had. When I bought a couple of them on Monday, there were still two left and the new listing started with a quantity of 10.
I figured it was probably a buy-out situation.....

I purchased one yesterday
The finished enclosure made the $ less painful for sure
I got one as well. It seems they're coming from leftover stock he had when he closed up shop.
I'm almost done with mine. I've corresponded with Kyle a few times. He is a very nice and helpful individual and this has been a fun project. Does anyone know what model number the subminiature dpdt switches are? The bushing needs to be a certain length for everything to fit properly. I could also use some guidance wiring the 1P12T rotary switch he sent. Thanks in advance.

Could you post pictures of your wiring or the text of your correspondence? That would be helpful!
Thanks for the rec! I didn't get the deal you earlier takers did, but I sprung for it anyways because that enclosure is so cool and justifies the cost beyond a from scratch build. I'm really looking forward to building this :)
Mine arrived today. Got 3 stickers and 4 picks! Very cool.
Are you guys using the BOM shown in the main ebay photo? I figure that's probably about as good as we're going to get.
Ordered mine yesterday, good guy. He owned and was blackout effectors. He decided he was tired of the pedal biz.

Got mine wrapped up. Kinda silly since there are already a Madbean and an Aion project available but the deal breaker was the enclosure. Really nicely done and surprisingly I thought they were powder-coated but it's sprayed with a nicely detailed silkscreen.
I used switches I had a available for the DPDT toggles. They don't have threaded collars so it looks a bit wonky with the threaded SPDT's but hey...
(https://www.gordomusic.com/Madbean/Whet01.jpg)
Mine came with the chips and transistors, the trim pot, the stomp switch, the rotary switch, a C1M pot, and the DC jack. Kyle emailed over the front and back of the build sheet but the picture in the eBay listing pretty much says it all. The rotary was easy enough to grok and the trimpot just sets the output from the boost (which overcomes the problem of reduced output on the Small Stone). Hardest part of the build was wrapping my head around having this much space in an enclosure ;)

Yeah, but it's a sparkly red enclosure. I ordered one too because phaser. And yeah, I have built the other two as well, but phaser. Hey, can you chuck those docs up here in a PDF form or whatever?
Wohoo nice build.
I ordered one. I really regretted letting mine go, and I had it traced and everything. I think I'll still build a copy of Brian's because I don't love the form factor, but it's been my favorite phaser I've ever owned, and I've had a few. Not like Jimmie, but it's my second fav modulation sound.

I'm pretty sure the one I owned back around 2010 was powdercoated (the feel was a lot more smooth/glossy), but the silkscreen work seems identical.
Mine showed up today finally. If somebody could post the parts list, I'd greatly appreciate it!
I'm going to use the parts list show in the ebay listing photo. Attached for reference.
Looks like he's also selling partial kits for the Mantra overdrive (which I've never tried):

Thanks Gordo!
Forgot to mention too that the wiring is pretty standard, use whatever bypass you want. The only off-board wires of note are the rotary switch. One of the ground points goes to the wiper of the rotary. Pad 1 goes to the switch position that corresponds to "Normal", 2 is "Pads", 3 is "Ring", and 4 is "Fix".
The build sheet mentions 2 jumpers but I could only find 1.

Are all of the toggles on on?
They are.
He's got three more of these listed right now in case anyone is still interested.
Just search blackout effectors on eBay and you'll find em!
Gordo:
Thank you so much for the gutshot & other pics!!! Still waiting on some parts, but that is a massive help!

Just finished mine up. I tried to keep the look close to the original.
I really dig the pedal and feel you can do a lot with it. I agree with what was said on the Aion website about his version. He omitted the fix position because...while he said the idea sounds good in theory, it just doesnt really do much. I tend to agree. Maybe I just didnt find a sweet spot?
Other than that small observation, the pedal kicks ass.
I don't have much to add that gordo didnt already say. I will say that I had to drill out the DC jack some because it was just a little too small. Everything is pretty tight overall so I recommend dry fitting the switches and pots, place them in the enclosure, then solder them. If you solder everything outside the box and anything is a little off, you may have trouble fitting it in. Lastly, depending on what knobs you use, you will probably need to hack some height off the switch or your knob will look silly. Nothing new there.

To the folks that are having difficulty with the fixed position doing anything.... disconnect wire #4. Viola

Yeah the whole fixed position is weird. Clearly this version shows it connected to ground. Yet, you can see examples of other Whetstones were it's simply left open (which is why I left it that way on my version).
Here's an example of what I am talking about.
Yupp the fixed position did nothing for me and I couldn't make it sweep. Sounded like an ehx setting but didn't amount to anything. Nice job with the shrink wrap boots, wish I'd done that.
Thanks for another nice gutshot, peAk. Still waiting on parts from Mouser, but I'm going to leave that 4th wire from the selector switch off.

Thanks tremendously for that bit of advice

They are.
Are the switches the sub mini switches?
Yes Jimi
The switches will sit lower than your pots so I recommend a dry fit into the enclosure before soldering. You can back up the bottom jam nut on the switches to raise the base some as well as not soldering them all the way down to the PCB.
If you are not careful, your PCB will lean and you may not get enough of your switches thread to poke out to get the nut on.
Hopefully I am making sense

I thought they were, I was just trying to decide which switches to order. He included spdt switches, and I have some on on on just no on. Love my switches gots just what I need. His shipping is pretty fast too.

I found this wiring diagram. Hopefully it will help a few that have had difficulty tracing wires from other examples. Most everything is pretty cut and dry on the pcb. I was having more of an issue with 3dpt wire location on a few connections. This helped.

Kyle (Blackout Effectors) only had two Cadvernous kits. Drew bought the other and traced the circuit. I don't want to make any promises on his behalf, but it seems that if not boards, a schematic at least will be available to DIYers.

Nice, let's hope for some tracing then!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have indeed traced the Cadavernous!
I drew up two versions of the schematic. One with the original DIP switch arrangement for the expression pedal and another simplified version without it. The switches Kyle used have a unique pole arrangement and cost about $5 each!
I did two PCB layouts and ordered them last week. One will be a simple version without any extra jacks and will fit in a 1590BB. The other one is for use in a 1590XX and does away with the internal DIP switches and will have two expression pedal jacks instead. It'll also have an extra jack for using a remote switch for the "swell" function.
I started a thread in the "member projects" section and I'll be posting updates there!

Does anyone have a ballpark of what something like that would cost sending overseas?
Well, here's mine. I did learn that slanting the board back so the nuts fit on the toggle switches causes a major problem with the pots. I think they don't look too bad counter sunk as long as they're all done that was. I have some either caps for the toggles that should enhance the look.
I assumed the wire origami was a must, since it seemed to be a trend, so I tried my hand at it.

Probably about $25. Sending a single pedal from Function f(x) to someone in the UK usually runs between $22 and $26.

Going to pick up my kit at the post office later today, postage was $28.25.
Not including the 2.95 EUR (+ 24% VAT) that Finland Post wants me to pay for the privilege of picking it up, of course. A little bit of protection money here and there, soon it all adds up.

Doh!! I recently started using the pin pots rather than the solder lug pots. PCBs have come a long way in the last 10 years. Layouts are a little more uniform now.

I assumed the wire origami was a must, since it seemed to be a trend, so I tried my hand at it.

I don't normally ground the output. It's grounded from the input via the enclosure.

Got mine done this past weekend. I really like this thing! You get plenty of over-the-top phasing if that's what you're after, but you can also make it a more subtle effect that sits really nice in the background. Still learning all the knobs & switches, tho...

Jimi got me started on this addiction when he sold me a "Dorothy Red Sparkle Shoes" phaser. I've been addicted to red sparkle ever since.
Shhh!
Don't use the word Sparkle with Midwayfair around ....

Man, that's a still my favorite finish on a phaser. I don't know which board is in there, but you can't beat it. There's no place like phasers.....

Does anyone know where I can get knobs similar to the ones on Blackout Effector's Fix'd Fuzz? I'm almost done with mine and I'd like it to look authentic.
Whoops I think I just found the knobs on Tayda.

The volume is the same when the pedal is on or off.

Another option that's kinda cool that I discovered by accident (why is this thing so dirty???) is that you can dial in a bit of grit. Adds a bit of Leslie type of clipping.

Those chips are pricey as far as chips go.
I'm sort of mad at myself for not picking up one of these or a Crystal Dagger. :/

It goes without saying that the Kezuroukai is dead on. The selling point is the enclosure for me. Ironically I've spent more time with this phaser than any other just because of that. This and the Glass Hole are my faves by far.
On my live board I'm still using a Line6 MM4. Doesn't sound as good, but close enough and with presets I get a large amount of "close enoughs".

agree man, totally.
Have you ever built the BYOC Phase Royal? Its a really cool phaser too. They will sell just the PCB usually if you contact them. Its got a pretty unique flavor to it.

I like that one, but I don't want to have to change modules. I'd like them to all be in one enclosure.

Has anyone here built the reverb? I just got one in the mail and I'm hoping I can at least find a gutshot as there are some connections that aren't obvious to me.

I had the same problem and Drew helped out. Pay close attention to the expression jack and momentary switch wiring.

10 pin accutronics brick. I was only able to find it on reverb.

Not sure if you got all of the internal DIP switches with your kit. Mine was missing one of the ones for the expression pedal assignment. They're strange little buggers and you definitely can't just drop in normal DIP switches in their place. Fairly straight forward build otherwise.
I've gotten new boards manufactured for two different layouts. Just need to find the time to test out a few component value changes and see how they work out.
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions along the way. I've spent many hours studying and tracing this one! ;D

If you concentrate hard enough, these are the results you can achieve. Only side affect is a splitting headache.

I see there's a Jumper 2x on the BOM... But I'm only seeing one pair of pads for jumpering down near the bottom next to the LFO chip. Am I missing something?
Current status... all resistors, chip sockets, diodes, and transistors populated. About to start caps.

I have the same question. I didn't see it answered.
I believe the DIV pad is for a remote rate control. It's tied to pin 1&2 of the rate pot.
