New Road Bike Day!

All stock with 14 gears but this is the first road bike I ever owned and I like it so much. The way it rides, the way it handles and the fact that I have lost 4 kg for five days. I already have changed the handlebar tape because the one I buy it with was awfully burnt from the Sun. Now I have plans to upgrade it to 9 or 10 speed.

Q: Is there anyone who is cycling too? Show off!  And share some experience!

Are you insane?

Yes I am

This really makes sense! I wasn`t sure about it but now I know that this is going to be a great effect which definitely will be placed after something.

Thank you!

Thank you!
I appreciate your kind comments.
There is little bit of noise I can live with.

Causality 4 MkII Phaser (DIYSB frequencycentral`s ) http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=80456.0
This is built with no subs and mods second version of this pedal. I decided to put two more stages with a daughter board. The box is handmade by me and the plate is laser cut. Since I made wrong order and bought pots with plastic shafts I`ve had to make additional boards for them.
 

Sorry for the noise and bad playing. Nervous I was. 

I live in Bulgaria and if I can help I`ll do.

1) When I was kid I took my fathers solder gun tips and was wondering what is going to happen if I plug them into wall socket ( note that here we have 220 v of electricity ). After some time I decided they will become red as f**k and I won`t be able to unplug them. So... why not to try first with some wire? I stripped the ends and DID IT!!! Some time later I was recumbent on opposite wall and I still see flashing lights from time to time.
2) When I was 14 yo I went to the movie "The Wall" ALONE.
3) Pink Floyd is my favorite band (along with Waters and Gilmore single albums ). Then comes Pearl Jam, W.A.S.P. (The Crimson Idol), Cinderella, Great White and I don`t like The Beatles, Eric Clapton (except in "Pros and Cons of hitchhiking" ).
4) I live with 9 years older than me woman but I can say that these are the BEST 13 years of my life.
5) I am very bad in organizing stuff and very impatient to finish my job that I often make mistakes or forget to do something critical.
6) Heavy smoker.

I said it.

Since my job is Furniture Designer and Maker I have access to wood supplies I decided to drill some boxes instead of buying aluminium one. Some of you will say why they are not shielded but since there is no noise and I don`t have copper or alum foil I will leave them like that.
Cupcake - etched board no subs at all. Great sound. Very happy I am.
Mudbunny - etched board. Can`t remember witch version i have build.  I have to tweak it a little bit because I have some problems with one of the pots but I am pleased with First Ever Big Muff I have.
Sam Ash Fuzzstainer 1590A - first pedal I boxed before rock it. ALL pots was wired backwards . Solved. At first it didn`t started but after some audio probe and DMM measuring I found that the signal is lost after Q1 Base. Then I measured +9v path and after 1n5817 ( mine is 1n5819 ) there is no current. Long story short. That particular diode was backwards and still is on the layout. Now I have working Fuzz and I`m so glad I did it .

These days I will go to my mother to see if she still keeps my old pyrograph to label these boxes. Can someone suggest names for them?

I`ve  build the PCB within the last days of 2013 and boxed it on the second day of 2014. SO.... I made this awesome pedal in TWO years! 
Like I said this is awesome pedal and all you have to do is just see video demo by Midwayfair to understand this. My etching skills (as I have some  ) are not that great and I have made a huge mess. Sometimes I have to be more patient.
Here we go:


Not as yours wiring but I am still learning. 
And a little sound demo

Special thanks to Midwayfair for advises

Couple more question. Can I wire this pedal with standard MB wiring diagram (for true bypass) and is there a way to make status LED blink with repeats?

Happy New Year

As I am in Bulgaria witch seams to be one of the far East countries  (I think) and I will open a bottle of champagne in ten minutes I would like to wish YOU ALL a wonderful, healty and full of joy and happiness 2014.
2013 was a great Year for and one (but not the last) reason for that is YOU. All the time I have spent reading, watching and trying to make pedals ( some of them with succsess some of them not that much) wass time well spent.

Thank you very much.

D-d-d-d-e-e-e-e-l-l-l-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-y!
Today I can say I am lucky! Bought new A20K pot and because in store they haven`t got any B25K I decided to buy B20K for MIX. When I went back home I soldered new pots plugged the pedal and everything is now as it should be.
Thank you Jon for everything and especially for this wonderful pedal!
