I am a VFE fan so I just wanted to put this list out there to show how much stuff VFE has put out there over the years, and to encourage others to purchase the board and schematic bundle that is for sale on the VFE site before the option is gone. Peter has been very generous in making whatever he can available to encourage learning and I very much appreciate it.

The list below shows what is INCLUDED *** in the download bundle, and all the others that are not. If you know of anything else, please let me know. ( PS, I'd love to see the ROG "Standard"  format boards become available )

I have been maintaining a VFE spreadsheet that has some more info.
Here is the link to the full list, with notes:

Thanks for posting this info—now I'm going to purchase the schematic bundle with a Klein Bottle Kit.

One of the schematics batches I got from his Patreon has a few others (the square-board Choral Reef and Mermaid, for example), odd that those didn't make it into the later sold bundle.

Also in your notes you have that the Choral Reef was based on the EHX Small Stone. That should be "Small Clone" (the 'stone was their phaser).

And, I had no idea that he did runs of the ROG circuits, nifty.

Sorry, good catches... mistakes have been corrected. Those two are included but I forgot to mark them.

Here are some of the ROG images I pulled from the VFE FB page

I verified that the double switch board on a dual Blues King pedal. The DSB components actually match up well with the single.

I bought this collection as well. There's an amazing amount of material to go through. I was wondering if it was possible to get VFE switching MCUs as single chips? It seems to be a bit wasteful to buy another project through the MBP store just to get the MCU.

Thanks! I marked it as verified on the sheet.

I would be interested in being able to buy the MCU and/or the switch board separately as well.
I bought these low profile sockets to be able to reuse the chips that I have.

I contacted Peter via email. It took 2 attempts and ~ a month between responses, but eventually I was able to purchase MCUs from him. He is reluctant to sell in small quantities and offers volume discounts. I bought 15 for ~45USD shipped in the US.

Oh, nice. That's good to know. Maybe we could arrange some sort of group buy?

DLW

A group buy is probably the best way to go about getting MCUs.

You could also try contacting Madbean about getting a couple, that was the advice Mr. Rutter gave me when I talked with him.
