Codtone Meatball

Thanks Guys.

Where do you buy knobs?

The small ones are on ebay, (for splined shaft-watchout, they come in a D shaft too!), the bigger one's Mammoth (needed a set screw for the rotary switches) I used to use them a lot but they've changed from a brass to a plastic grub screw insert. POS strip with just a rough word, so I'm afraid I won't be getting those anymore.

How'd you get that color on the box? Totally awesome!

It's layers or red, black, yellow and green rattle can, with some wet sanding. Looks fancier than it is.

Great build!
And thanks for the tip on the 1458s.  I have one of these half built & it's not working as I would expect.  I don't know where I got my 1458s, but I will try swapping it - or buying new ones if necessary.

If you've got a dud 1458 you'll hear filtering if you cover/uncover the ldrs, but the leds won't respond to input signal.
NE5532 will work too, (some build reports favoured it ) and even a LM072 works in my build. They all produce different sounds as you'll observe the range the leds illuminate change. The 1458 definitely works best for me.
I want to stress that I'm not TAYDA-bashing, I love that place. Interestingly, all my LM1458 work perfectly well when used in the LFO of a shoot the moon. So it's not that they're bad, just that they don't work in a meatball.

Must have been on backlog for a while..... I dont think Taylor has had that PCB in stock for over a YEAR!! 

That's true, I'm told that if I were to put every board in my box of yet to build PCBs back-to-back, they'll reach from Melbourne to Perth.

Man, I always dig your builds and this is right up there.

Killer build! I don't envy you having to drill that enclosure, though. Well done.

Ha ha!
Yes, I'd already soldered the rotaries, so it was a case of measure thrice then drill way oversized holes!
