Fantastic work, great touch with the image and the text! I love learning things like that in Inkscape, when I found out about offset paths it was a game-changer for text.

Love the build, that colour looks amazing with the print on it. Look forward to seeing some more of these beasts!

I echo the other's sentiments on reaching out if anyone ever wants to shoot the shit, it's helped me in the past just having random conversations with some awesome people on here about personal projects, how to do XYZ.

To get fully wet or dry I think you'd need to offboard the blend pot and convert it to be something similar to the Pork Barrel blend with the middle lug connected to ground or VB. I think it was mentioned in one of the development threads about blend circuits best working this way (?) as it'll shunt all of the signal you don't want somewhere, rather than being passive.

I wouldn't have a suggestion as to the accompanying resistor values best suited. Nor do I really have any idea what I'm talking about but as the saying goes, the best way to get the right answer is to post the wrong one 

Loving the artwork and the pot names make it! 

I don't know what I enjoy more, the playing or the robot. Stellar stuff sir!

The stamps look amazing! Loving how much the colour makes them pop.

Man you nailed stylised! Looks stunning, getting a WWII-era propaganda poster feel from it and I bloody love it. Aesthetically different but definitely TWS.

Midwayfair that video is super cool, I'd never thought of stacking for anything other than as you said, getting a thicker sound.

Yeah exactly. There's lines leading from the Slam rotary to the four controls, just some bellend couldn't take a decent photo if his life depended on it 

[that]

Now that was a build report! Bloody love the history and the write up (boss that you could calibrate from memory, I can barely do that with a FF..) and the flanger looks shit hot! That colour just fits a flanger so well.

Cheers guys, appreciate the kind words

A mate asked me if I'd seen the 4114 flux capacitor pedal a few months ago, he'd apparently sent that company a message to see if they were doing any more but didn't hear back. Asked if I could have a go, so I rehoused his Behringer EM600.

Took me a couple of months to figure out the code to get the speedo to cycle up on activation, and down on deactivation at the same time as the flux flashing away. There's a switch for knocking the light display completely off for rehearsal, selecting if it's on when the pedal's active or just on all the time. I printed the red warning decals off but kinda preferred it without them. Plus clearcoating the clear acrylic will only go one way.

If anyone has any use of the Behringer EM600 control layout design in a really crappy Inkscape .svg format let me know and I'll email it over, took a while to get it right. Added a second footswitch that just shorts whatever pot the Slam rotary is pointing at to 5 volts. The guitar to meter circuit was DeadAstronaut's over at DIYSB so big thanks to him for posting that.

The flux itself is a pcb to hold the addressable LEDs with LED filaments laid out over the top of them. The 'prop' part of it is wire harvested from a dead amp inside of yellow heat shrink tubing, into cheap Tayda LED bezels wrapped in red heat shrink tubing, wedged into drilled out Tayda pot covers sprayed grey. All lovingly held together with so much superglue it went everywhere and I had to clean up more stuff than I'd done. It's kinda visible on the heatshrink I used as fake rubber for the surround and inside the acrylic but testing all kinds of combinations of remover, they all bleached the crappy material so had to live with it.

The insides are.. not exactly stellar and I only got a couple of photos of them. Arduino Nano on perf, a voltage regulator for the filaments on vero, a buffer for the Behringer LED output to tell the Nano when to do stuff and the guitar to meter output on vero. I was making this up as I went along, took far too long with it and dear god I'm never doing anything that needs this much metal filing again. Couldn't figure out a way to embed an Imgur video so this is the cycling up and down - https://imgur.com/E4H9Bbn

Wow, staggering piece of kit, nicely done!

Fantastic build, really loving the LEDs! Reminds me of A Trip to the Moon

Maaan those red knobs with that artwork make it look like a CGI rendering, stellar work. You and Sum 41 said it best, all killer no filler!

Fantastic choice with the graphics there! Looks so classy I swear I saw it at an evening gala with a monocle once.
