Title: 3 new builds-more EHX content
Post by: Thewintersoldier on July 04, 2022, 06:57:22 PM
No demos again. Lot of stuff going on, it's not really conducive with everything going on. So I have 3 builds here. First up is a V1 small stone phaser. I've now built all 3 versions from lectric-fx. Version 2 and 3 are closer in tone to each other imo. V1 has a different LFO and the shape of the phasing is much different sounding to me. Ben Grimm on matte orange enclosure.

Next is the Bassballs dual filter. This is a wild sounding filter. Some cool sounds if you want to experiment with a different type of filter. Although billed as a bass effect it also sounds cool on guitar. Mashup of original graphics with cannonball symbol on yellow tayda enclosure.

Last up is the Doctor Q envelope filter. A bare bones filter with just a sensitivity knob. The bass switch is kinda pointless except on low sens. settings on bass. Internal range trimmer for set and forget. I decided to bypass the input buffer and diode mods and go straight vintage spec, hence the missing components. Board is called doctor quack so I had to do Howard the duck on matte dark grey enclosure.

I'm trying Dan, they can't all be winners unfortunately but I do put the effort in, so it's alright.

Very nice.  I like the single wire color, looks very classy.  The white SpaceHarp board is pristine!

Thanks Gordo, it's not hard to have a clean build, I find it takes no extra time...and I'm not one to clean the board either, I don't know how some people have flux pooled all over it. And the wire thing is something I started earlier this year. I agree it's sexy AF. I always liked seeing cooder's builds with single color wiring and it's my nod to Stephan.

Strong work, Chris!  I really like the Small Stone, the color and theme came together perfectly.
