So I'm knocking out the builds I've had parts lying around for. Yesterday a Muff, today a reverb! This uses a Rub-a-Dub board I got from gtr2 and uses the short brick version of the BTDR-2. There is still plenty of reverb on tap with the short brick, and has a very interesting modulated fluttery effect when at the extreme setting. All in all, sounds great!
I blew out the LED by accidentally forgetting to add a CLR for it. :-\ The strange thing is that I used a green diffused LED, but when it first turned on it glowed red, then orange, then not at all. Not planning well enough ahead, I had to drill for the in/out jacks pretty low and almost had to scrap the enclosure (I also found that I should be more careful center-punching these guys); lessons learned.
The inside of the lid (though a pedal built for myself) reads, "It is this space that births us into being." Significance? I heard my meditation instructor say this once, thought it sounded cool to write inside a reverb pedal. ;D

Cool. Is the using up parts why you used two strips of the single pin stuff for the IC socketing?
Might have to order a Rub-a-dub when they come in stock again.

Nah, I could never have too many single pin strip sockets! I had some DIP-8 sockets on order when I populated the board, so I used what I had.
I may order another next time Josh has them, as I'd like to build a long brick one for comparison.
woo congrats on 100 posts! you need to build one with your avatar as the art... its crying out 'MAKE MEEE'!
whitebread... this is for you ;D
Nice enclosure. The black sparkle is appropriate for a reverb.
Any chance for a clip of the short brick? ;)
very nice work.
Love the sparkle!
Josh
Very nice. Clips! :)
Is that the black starlight from PPP?
Thanks guys!
nzCdog, that video hit the spot! :D
I'll see if I can get some clips up within the next couple of days. The enclosure is actually black sparkle or something like that from Mammoth.
