This is the first time I've written on a pedal in binary!

And very appropriate for a digital delay.

Especially true if you decode the binary.

Looks very nice indeed! I have to agree that it's a lovely sounding chorus.

I should have posted this a long time ago but maybe I will catch up with myself soon! This one's a straight build of a GuitarPCB D'Lay that I built as a 21st birthday present for my son Dave. The background image is another simulated bit of physics generated by some of his computer programming. According to him it's the probability density of a hydrogen atom. I'm not one to argue but it looks like a blue doughnut to me.



This is the first time I've written on a pedal in binary! He loves it, which is the main thing.

I agree, it looks very nice.  I'm impressed he has time to play music while studying for his Master's Degree in Theoretical Physics.

It goes in phases: at the moment he's overloaded with study deadlines, so he just plays for short periods when he gets a chance (no time at all last week), on the other hand he gets long breaks at Christmas/Easter/Summer and plays a lot when he's home. He's lucky enough to have a big room in the house he shares - it needs to be with a rack of 5 guitars, Blackstar amp etc. etc. Oh and lots of books.

You must be too proud!

Yes indeed! In fact he was very ill and had to stay on an extra year at school, so I'm proud of him for getting to Uni at all. I don't think many people could have overcome the obstacles that he did.

It looks great and it's a combination of one of my favorite pedals and programming languages.

I don't really know anything about the programming but it's impressive the way Python can be used to set up a "virtual experiment" that allows them to alter parameters as if they were in the lab. When I read the reports he writes I can follow the science but I gave up trying to follow the maths a long time ago...

Pork Barrel with added level control. A couple of years ago I started a tradition of building pedals for my son an Christmas and birthday gifts and this was one of his requests. He is currently studying for his Master's Degree in Theoretical Physics. The abstract looking graphic is in fact the output of a programme that he wrote in a computer language called Python. He says it's "a simulation of the diffraction of light through a Gaussian aperture." Fair enough. I just thought it looked nice. The top is finished with Envitotex - Marauder style.

Looks great and the Eddie theme worked out very well. There's a huge amount of layouts over at Tagboard these days. I saw Van Halen on the VH2 tour (obviously I was very young!) They had a hum on the PA and their solution was to turn everything up and "play over the top of it". I don't think my hearing has ever recovered. Best add thus new to my todo list...

With pedals like this Pehr is bound to join your Viking raiding party! I guess it's time to hide my Saxon PCB stash again.
