Huge build! And a stunning artwork! Well done, Jon!  :D
I'm quite jealous of the guys that got it. This thing sounds amazing! :)

Wow Jon, that's great.  I can see why you wouldn't want to do another one.

It reminds me of a Dr. Scientist pedal...yes, it's on that level!  :)

Amazing build

pretty Dr sci, although Ryan would have a 4 layer board in a 125B (!) the crazy legend

That circuit board could fit in a 125B even on perfboard (it's pretty much the same size as the one I used for my Tap Tempo Cardinal a while back, which was a two-layer PCB in a horizontal 125), but the 7 jacks and extra toggle and expression rotary --- nnnnnnnope.

That is a seriously kick-ass build Jon! Is there a reason you used 2 different types of jacks? Regardless, I bet if you would build more of these, they'd sell in a heartbeat. Top notch!!

Yes -- the enclosed jacks are switched. The right input and expression needed to be switched. I used the same type of jack for the left input even though it could have been a normal TRS open jack simply because it fit better and didn't look funny sticking out of the back. I used open jacks for the four on the "out" side because that was the only way they'd all fit and it saved me the trouble of figuring out where to ground the enclosure.

Not tap tempo but:


6 knobs, 2 switches, hold mode, exp input (rate and depth), true stereo, pan/synch etc
Pretty impressive.
But I digress, and do not mean to take away from your work.

No, it's fine -- the Tremolescence was one of the pedals the customer and I discussed before I agreed to build for him, and I love the Dr. Scientist stuff. I wanted to ensure that he couldn't get an equivalent or better pedal from a commercial source first. (The closest he could get to everything he needed was the Goatkeeper, but I think he said it's not available anymore.)

Really cool build Jon.

I'm sure your customer will be stoked with it.

That's outstanding - the vibe-y part is way cool!
