I'm very happy for you. Apparently, they were really impressed, among other things, that it didn't cost more than it did. I hope you are inspired to keep going forward. They pointed that out. Hope things keep going well.

Yeah, gonna keep rolling. Got a couple expo type events in the UK this year coming up which will be fun to meet people, hear what people like and dont like etc.

Regards pricing, its a tough one but I hope Ive got it just about right. Not looking to get rich or make anyone poor, while honouring the boutique traditions and values.

That sounds great! I can't wait to see the good things you do.

Have a browse... www.gigaheartsfx.com

There are multiple videos for each pedal too, some with demos not just done by me (!)

Hi

Kinda wierd, not sure why I am sharing this, but this was a boost for me at a low point.
I was asked to submit this pedal for a review, I didnt chase them, which was suprising. I am naively navigating this world, and assumed you had to have "connections" or bribe someone for such articles...

Anyway, I was also beyond chuffed with the scores across the board. It is somewhat validating for me at a time right now when I am trying to do something new with my life.

Cheers
Ian

This was mine. It seems like a lifetime ago. The video is a bit long but it was a fun build.

crazy build

thats mental.

I finally got mine boxed up, I've never played a real Microsynth before and I have to say I am a big fan of this flavor of octave fuzz! Thanks again for the board!

Nice! Good job getting it done

What did you select for volume control?
Tbh those artefacts are only there when not playing, and who expects a big muff to be quiet lol?

Oops. Typo - its a 100k pot

Ive revised the online BOM doc - good catch.
I swear I read that like 100 times....

Thanks for sharing that.
enjoy the build. 

Just a heads up my PCB is verified working now, and I am 99% confident in the component values. Someone with a real one checked them off.

A heads up, I have also tested various volume pots, and personally prefer the A100K
B10K works fine just gets LOUD fast, duh.

I imagine anything 10k or 100k would be fine, your preference.

Edit
Ok so i did a bit more testing. I think the A100k pot for volume sounds significantly preferable to my ears at least vs the 10k
This is a change in isolation, I didnt adjust anything else vs my redrawn schematic.

nice

Yeah but I wasnt really aware of that being a thing for "on-on" types. Colour me educated.
I was aware of it for on-off-on types....

For the avoidance of doubt, its this type

It's just a standard DPDT bypass switch

I don't know what you mean by type 2

As far as I was aware the only "types" when it comes to DPDT are in relation to three position lever types??

I posted a vero over at FSB

Here's what I was able to pick off from the drawings that are out there now.

Yep that's the same as I've posted to FSB
So as the doctors say, I concur!

Good to know I was seeing the same stuff as you. I think it sounds pretty rad to be honest.

It's got this bass that is always felt below the fuzz. Kinda cool, definitely different enough to warrant exploring.
