a couple line/instrument level switches on would also be helpful for helping pedals deal with different types of effects loops or line level processors.

I had one of these and it sounded fantastic. especially in stereo with 2 amps. the overdrive feature was great for those huge SRV tones. this would be a fun project

love the borneo styled graphics.

nice build. I love those steel enclosures for fuzz boxes. they're a bitch to drill but worth the effort. how hard is it to get every combo dialed in? do you have to make adjustments for each set of trannies?(si/ge,ge/si.si/si, and ge/ge) or can you get it set so everything sounds good no matter where the switches are set? I was considering using an old byoc fuzz face pcb for a hybrid fuzz face. I like to use ge for some things and si for others but wouldn't want to strap 2 ff's to my board.

I never get tired of seeing sunking builds. love the finish! I just read the whole powder coating thread. I'm gonna take the plunge. I love the results everyone is getting.

Build a stock 9V Electric Mistress, it's not overly swooshy IMO nor is it too resonant, you can use it for... almost chorus flanger sounds like Andy Summers/ The Cure.

Very musical Flanger, Gilmour used one too I think...

I agree with this wholeheartedly. the e-m definitely is  less "in your face" as flangers go. without out so much metallic, nasal, jet-like tones. gilmour did use one from time to time. not sure witch era though. all that info is on gilmourish.com

Andy Summers was known for using a roland jazz chorus 120. a solid state 2X12 combo with a really lush sounding chorus circuit built into it. I had the 70 watt version at one point and used it for my clean tone for quite a while. to my knowledge, no one has used it's chorus circuit as a basis for a pedal. now that I think about it, I might try to find a schematic for that amp to have a peak at what is going on. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's similar to the boss ce-1, since boss and roland are divisions of the same corporation.

glad that worked  out. have fun with that one. a lot of great tones in that box!

I noticed that you got way too large of a value for c2...c2 should be 200 picofarads not 220 nano farads. thay would have a big impact on the tone. swap it out and see how it works.

can you post a photo of the trace side of the board. double check that the pots are the correct.with five controls it's easy to get a couple mixed up.

man those break out boards really clean things up! very tidy!

I really like all the demos I've heard of this pedal. And I am rather partial to fender amps. I keep meaning to get around to putting one of these together. this is a handsome build too! it's moving to the top of my to do list.

yeah that article and the mini mixer was what got me going on this. I have a prototype frankensteined together with 3 channels 2 of which are switchable. I got sidetracked but it shouldn't take too long to finish it. I'm sure brian could put something together that would be far more elegant thought.

some clear photos of both sides of the board would help. although you said the pinouts where fine It sounds like one is in wrong to me.  some voltage readings on the transistors might help as well. who sold you the ac127? are you sure it's good?

do a search on ebay for copper clad. there is tons of stock available
