Current Lover (Deluxe Electric Mistress)

[LaceSensor]

Built my Electric Mistress today. Took about 6 hours
Fired up first time - this is the MN3007, running at 9v.

For the enclosure, my printer is seriously screwing up my regular inkjet decals, so I tried a toner transfer as a screenprint homage. It looks really cool I think! Its not a perfect transfer, so it has that beat up 70s EH vibe and I am pretty happy with it!

Shoehorning all that action into a 125b is a task, and I went for a slightly different method than suggested in the BOM. Probably got some tweaking to do but I can get a really nice selection of flangey tones from this.

Thanks for the awesome project!







Happy holiday building, team

WOW! That looks great. It really does look retro. Awesome job. Happy Christmas!

Awsome!
I'm going to build the dirtbag and lover really soon too

Wow nice work lace. I am still trying to decide between building up a meatball or dem this weekend and this just makes things harder!

Good stuff!  Looks great.  I've got my shopping list almost compiled to tackle this one, and a couple of other pedals.

That toner transfer looks great!

Cheers guys.
The meatsphere is odd. I'm not sure mine woks or if it's just the idiosyncratic controls.
The dem is a harder build but nicer effect, while the current lover is the easy build and more instantly gratifying.
The meatsphere is a super simple build for the pcb, getting it in a box less so. Need perfect drilling. And a bigger than standard box....1790 ns in the states I think...

Yeah it has number off odd resistor values. I even did two teepee resistors but what the heck.
Also on the underside of the board I have

33n with a 6n8 parallel for the 39n and
22n with a 47n parallel for the 68n incase any keen eyes spotted the incorrect values on board.
22pF was a mica just cos I had one laying about. I'm sure ceramic is fine.

Awesome, love the finish.

I've built mine. It's currently in a cardboard box along with about another 8 builds, all waiting enclosures...

[LaceSensor]

Oh yeah I couldnt find a C1M so used B1M but I recommend holding out for the C if you want control over the fast sweeps. For me I dont really use them, so its fine.

Looking forward to see other builds.

If anyone wants it here is my graphic.

Looks great.  I am just waiting on a few resistors before I can finish mine up.  Mine just snag your decal .. thanks

I didnt bother waiting on the 1M2 and 62k which were the ones I was missing.
Just a note on the decal it will be misaligned if you do the drilling like Brian suggests.

Tweaked the clock this thing sounds goooood

Thanks for pointing that out.  I tend to drill mine first and then scan in the box so I can make my decals fit so hopefully I would have noticed but ya never know 

[LaceSensor]

that sounds like a damn good idea. Ima try that next time out. Save a lot of measuring etc.
