Thanks again everyone!  That's a pretty impressive looking switcher Matthias! I've got looper envy!

Thanks guys!

Thanks! All the purple PCBs are mine, designed in Eagle and fabbed by OSHPark. I breadboarded all the basic circuits first and the created the schematics and board layouts once I had them successfully tested. I used Omnigraffle on the Mac to do the layout of everything in the enclosure.

I of course still messed up some layout things (power polarity, led polarity, regulator pin out, button header spacing, etc...)  I managed to work around all those glitches and get it functional though. I was actually kind of surprised how well it worked once it was up and running. I split the analog and digital grounds and ran them all with 2 pin headers per board to a central "ground board" for a star kind of thing. No hum issues using isolated taps off my Pedal Power for everything, but if running everything off a single OneSpot some pedals have a bit of low frequency hum when engaged. May experiment with different ground schemes at some point, but for my purposes it works perfectly.

Hello!

I finished up this project a week or so ago. It's a programmable true bypass loop switcher, amp channel switcher and Neunaber Slate controller. The logic is controlled using an Arduino Pro Micro from SparkFun and it's housed in a 4Site 1032L from Pedal Parts Plus.

Features:

• ~65mA current draw max (all relays on).
• 3 relay controlled true bypass loops
• 3 relay controlled external switch functions wired to a 5 pin din jack (controls od, boost and reverb on my amp)
• 6 color-coded leds to indicate the current state of the six relays.
• Control over effect and preset on Neunaber Stereo v2 pedals via their expansion port (exp) interface.
• Preset mode (60 presets) - saves the state of the 6 relays and Exp. effect/preset in any of 10 banks of 6 patches.
• Instant Access mode - allows toggling the state of the 6 relays via the six buttons on the right, and cycling through the effects/presets on the Neunaber using the bank up/down switches on the left.
• 10" (W) x 2.6" (D) x 2" (H)

Seriously amazing job all around.

-Aaron

Nice. I did a #102 scratch build last month. Amazing sounding amp. Lots of work.

-Aaron

  Amazing job!

I like it a lot better with the JRC4558D in there than the AD712. The AD712 sounds too sterile to my ears. I'll have to check out the 4580.

You did such a fabulous job on this! Its impressively clean on the inside and the outside. Im sure it sound like gold..

Just saw the demo a few post up..oh boy that sound great!

Thanks!

I love my dual reverb I built using the older Belton Brick. I use two medium bricks in parallel. I split the signal off of my active volume pedal and then combine them by running each into a separate channel on my Fender Showman head. The effect still has that cool tone to it, but is just more dense and lush. It sounded pretty similar when running in series, though. Maybe having dissimilar bricks just works better in series or maybe something with the different tone of the 2 channels fattens it up with my rig.

-Aaron

Very cool. I don't know why, but it reminds me of something you'd see in a Tim Burton film.

-Aaron

Really like the finish on that Klon. Did you do it yourself or is it from PPP?

PPP. As far as I can tell, I'm the worst painter in this or any other universe. I just get all the stuff from PPP and use inkjet printed adhesive vinyl with protective overlay film for the graphics.

Hey Aaron, I've been looking for a good serendipity font.  Do you mind if I ask what you used there?

thx

Tempus Sans ITC. I think I had to grab it off my Windows box. Maybe part of Office?

-Aaron

Thanks! Just the Hunny Drive left to sell...

-Aaron

I decided to clean up some duplicate builds I had laying around in preparation for selling them to raise money for other gear purchases.
