I don't know what the terms "box caps" or "MLCC" mean

The MLCC are the orange ceramic caps and the box ones are the polyester chicklet looking ones.

I built the first abductor, super neat. Check out madbeanpedals.com also.

^HA- I can't hear your voice, so I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but I was referencing my earlier days in that last post- I'm certainly still a newb by most measures, but I've done 2-3 years of oogling and oggling across the internet since then.  Thankfully I kept hearing "Mad Bean...Mad Bean..Mad Bean" while watching DIY Guitar Pedals' videos on YouTube and found myself here.  These days I'm a big Mad Bean fan- I can't keep up with all the rad stuff.

Nope, built the first one. Delays are like candy to me. I wouldn't be an ass to someone I don't quite know yet, but give it time Sorry about the madbean suggestion, I wasn't paying attention to which forum I was replying. I also frequent the BYOC forum.
Build a delay Yo!

Ah, deadastronaught. I knew that pedal looked familiar. If you haven't, find some of his boards, that are top notch.

YEAH- when I originally watched the tutorial I figured he was just some dude like you or me, but who knew a bunch about etching because the only DIY pedal names I knew were BYOC and DIY Guitar Pedals.  Anyhow, I should indeed try a PCB or two of his- this free tutorial has proven to be quite valuable to me, plus there are some really creative effects going on over there- got my eye on that "Abductor Delay II."

This is such a beautiful build inside and out.   It looks like you etch for a shorter amount of time than Dead Austronaut and that's fine.  Your results are just as aesthetically pleasing.  I also love the way you and Lee make those 3D brackets to assist your inside design.  Wonderful job.

Why, thank you Hom..er-um..Steve, how kind!  Yes- Leevibe is on a whole other level over there, so many great builders in this community to learn from!

How about a step by step of your process. I'm really interested in this. I moved to an apartment moment from a duplex with a garage, so painting isn't an option. Water slide and enviro is fun, but it's getting old for me.

That looks fantastic. You're right, this is the easiest envelope filter I've built to date as well.

I got mine but haven't tried it yet. Super stoked, that looks great.

Welcome home heir bean. You used many words but kept it entertaining, thank you.

I just started doing smd stuff with jfets. smd people are sadistic

I'll agree with that. I built a tiny LPB1 that fits on the bottom of a 9mm pot. I'll never do that again. It worked I was happy, I moved on. I did build a bit bigger one, that was more to my liking. I have a bunch of SMD parts for something, but I can't remember what.

Those look fantastic. I've built a couple of and projects myself.  I'm curious about the sound. How about An audio demo?

Vero is a love hate thing for me. Love to hate it haha. Props for going old school. Looks good to me. Probably sounds righteous

Thank you, it is pretty gnarly sounding. I like vero because it's easier for me to troubleshoot, like wise, it's easier to screw up.

I usually save Vero for utility and testing type circuits. My last Vero project was making a jfet tester. A fuzz is totally doable  but anything more than that and I would rather have a pcb.

Sometimes, when I want to build something specific right, it's my go to. I don't know why, I can't wait, but it's fun.

Thought I'd jump back into pedal building with several builds. Here is an IC muff built on vero. I had or maybe have one of Rej's old 78, I can't remember if I sold it or not.

Wow, that looks fantastic, I found myself wanting to build one as well, then I too realized that I already built one that I'm not using.
