Hi all,

2017 started and I just had a week off from work, so I decided to spend most of my time getting hooked up on solder.
Recently I bought an Abductor Delay II PCB from Deadastronaut (the one with the numbering missing, had a great time checking, doublechecking and triplechecking my components, 'twas a fun challenge ).

Just finished the final layer of paint on the enclosure and it's starting to dry up pretty nicely. Will have a go with a water slide decal later on as soon as my gf has time to help me with the design.

Here are some pictures of the build so far. The knobs are just there to check whether they fitted properly, received my first batch of knobs yesterday so I can finally finish some other projects as well.

Hi wcg, thank you. I'm not looking for anybody to send me a resistor. I was just hoping that it won't matter. I have a holiday coming up next week, so the plan was to finish this one. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer until the next shipment arrives .

Thanks for your help midwayfair. It's not that I'm too proud, I just like the things I'm building to be neat. Nothing wrong with that I guess.

Don't you just love it when a package finally arrives, containing all missing components for projects you plan to work on? I do too, until the point I found out that I forgot to order a component a few minutes later. Won't be the last time I guess

In this case it looks like I need a 3k6 resistor at R16. I could just put a few resistors in series, but I really don't feel like doing that. My question is, can I simply take a 3k3 resistor instead? How would it affect the overall sound?

Hi community,

I have built a deathklaw and all was going fine until I replaced the pots and the SPDT. For some reason the ghost switch does not affect the signal in any way. As I'm still learning (I haven't really 'debugged' many of my builds) I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers to see what the underlying cause of this is.

I did check if the switch itself was the problem, that doesn't seem to be the case. I also replaced the switch with a second one but that didn't seem to help either.

Any thoughts on this?

Kind regards,
cresconio

Great thanks, gonna experiment with that trimpot indeed.

Hi there,

Recently build the mangler and I'm really digging it, although I'd like it to be a 1-knob pedal.
I'm not sure how to bypass the volume pot. Any thoughts on that?

Kind regards,
Cresconio

Hi all,

Just bought myself a taptation and put it on the breadboard. The specs tell me I only need to connect the MCP41100 to pin 6 of a pt2399. I was wondering if someone managed to (and if it's possible at all) to connect the taptation to a deathklaw. I thought it was just a matter of connecting to the pt2399  (or at least the junction where the delay pot connects to both BC550 transistors but alas...

Taptation works nicely I think, leds flash in the correct way and if I bridge the output directly my amp starts making noises at the designated tempo

Kind regards,
Cresconio
