Mini Mu Florist and Red Shift

[jimilee]

Been working on these for a while now. Enviro is just plain hard to photograph.

Nice!! I have mixed feelings about envirotex. It looks so good, but it's such a pain to use.

What is the Red Shift? I'm guessing early 70s design?

A Whetstone. Modified I believe, it doesn't have the rotary switch.

Excellent and another phaser in the bag! How does Jimi like the Whetstone?
Florist graphics are sweet!

Very nice work, the florist and red shift are really catching my eye.....

How is the red shift? It seems right up my alley but I am back logged with projects already.

Envirotex sucks to work with, it is messy and is non photogenic at all. I also noticed that if i do a really complex painting with multiple shades it doesn't show it but the level of protection is the best.

The whetstone is alright. I can get the jangly sound you normally only get with a Joey phaser. Overall, its a bit underwhelming for the amount of knobs a switches it's has.

Jimi's whistle was not whetted with the Red Shift?

It was, I mean, it is a phaser. I feel like the selector knob will add another level to this pedal. Once I get some build docs, I will know for sure. [emoji38]

People are saying photographing Envirotex/resin makes for bad pictures, how is it different than photographing glossy objects clear coated with a different kind of finish?

The fixed mode is pretty blah on this one - I think manual-phase mode has been done a lot better by others like EHX. My thought was that the rotary was just a very inconvenient way of adding an unnecessary mode, when a 3-way toggle switch could get the other 3 modes.

If you want, you could test it out by leaving off C16, which would change "Ring" mode into "Fixed". I'm gonna add that to the docs, I hadn't thought of that until just now, but it should work. In the original, all the rotary does in that position is disconnect all three of the LFO timing capacitors.

Hey thanks man, I will try that, and see what that sounds like. Maybe make it an internal switch. It's a great pedal overall.

Okay first thing to do is ditch the camera flash, only reason to ever use a camera flash is in an emergency that requires a picture for reference.

Try shooting outside in a shaded spot, north side of a building will give even diffuse light.

Indoors try beside a bright window but not one with the sun shining in.

Maaaan, this is getting complicated. There's a reason I'm a bass player, less strings to fool with!
