Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

These are top shelf builds, Greg!

These builds are extremely uplifting. Their graphics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've seen on this site. The original pedals seem to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially pedals like the Meatball and Ring Stinger. But I also think these pedals work best within the confines of the group, than as solo pedals, and I stress the word pedal. This is the ?Stereo Flanger, a great, great flanger, a personal favorite.
Yep. I clicked the, "continue without supporting us" link....

So great! I hope I can get up the courage to build a Ring Stinger one day...

Oh, and Greg -- try linking VCO Out to In/On (no guitar plugged in.) Noise-synth fun!

When all is said and done... I'll be providing the info and layouts needed to build ALL of them! The ?Flanger and Doppelganger will be the "more well known" build docs (from LaceSensor and electricstorm) and will be added with the layouts that I designed or re-designed (Ring Stinger, Meatball, Wobulator, and Cheese Source)

Keep in mind that these build docs that I will be providing will be for builders who are ready to tackle these projects. They WILL NOT be the step-by-step "every little detail" type build doc. They will have a transfer layout, component locations w/ values, and wiring diagrams. No schematics. (although you can use your Google-fu to find most of them)

Yeah! This thing is a noise maker for sure. So very, very versitile!  ;)

try setting the VCO freq very low, then using Freq modulation with a fairly low LFO rate, and medium to high depth.
Its almost like a step sequenced tremolo of sorts.

I've been building for about four and a half years now, that's the kind of build doc I can use...I guess I'll have to prepare myself for the knowledge drop!

Another thing to keep in mind is that these boards are pretty BIG!

Around 185mm x 90mm. Definitely do-able but can be time consuming. I am sure some of our resident board etching experts can help but I encourage you all to DIY at least 1 or 2.

Close to release on these. I have the Cheese Source documents done. Just need to fab and build for proof of concept  ;D

Also.. as a personal note... I hope that people try to tackle these. They are definitely worth the work and time involved. I have been involved in a few "larger" projects and it seems that they never catch on... MAJOR BUMMER! When you finish just one of them you will wonder why you never attempted them before. The whole purpose behind these full-sized clones was to see if I could do it and challenge myself but also to get around the "problems" with the smaller sized clones that have been done in the past.

I just finished my ? Flanger and had a bum trim pot on the daughter board. Now I have to order another and wait to test it out. It took a while to do the wiring, but wasn't ridiculous. If mine works, it will be proof that these projects are doable by the average builder. If it doesn't it means I'll be asking you, Lace and Alanp for troubleshooting help!

Kudos on all of the great builds!

I said it before and I'll say it again: all of them look amazing. Awesome outside and as tidy and thought-through inside. I bet the cheese source is going to be just as good (or did you post it already and I missed it?)

A friend of mine is fancying a flange with no name, so I might consider building one of yours. I was hoping to get a fabbed version though, etching isn't my strongest suit. I look forward to them nevertheless.

Haberdasher can etch fab them for you. His work is stellar

Govmnt_Lacky

+1 on Haberdasher. His work is impeccable!

As far as the projects go... The Doppelgänger is Lacesensor's baby. The Flanger is Jim's (electric storm) both of these are available now with a bit of searching.

I will be providing build materials for the Meatball, Wobulator, Ring Stinger (6-knob version), and the Cheese Source. I will however, link the aforementioned 2 projects merely to keep them all together in one place.


alanp

I encourage everyone who builds these to post reports! :)

And these are the same to build as Bazz Fusses, check your components as you place them, check that they are in the right place (I checked against the component/pcb traces picture repeatedly for this) and take care as you go, and things work out. My ?Flange worked first pop with no troubleshooting needed.

Gearing up to build the Cheese Source and my question is about file sharing....

What is the best way to share the files for these builds? Each of the builds that I did the documents for have 3 files. A transfer, a component layout, and wiring diagram (Except the RS... that one has 3 separate wiring diagrams)

Just wondering what is the best method for sharing ALL of these files  8)
