EAE Beholder

[Fuzzonaut]

I found out about this PCB by chance, and I'm glad I did. Here's the Beholder, a "aberrant Reverberator", by Electronic Audio Experiments.

It's is a fuzzed-out, droning reverb pedal, with the "wrong" order, as a reverb circuit goes into a dark, high-gain fuzz circuit.

"Anyone who uses this pedal should really prepare for people to hate their music" is the quote on the PCB, which describes my musical situation to the point!

That looks really interesting! Sound clips?

It’s a fun circuit for weird/dark territories.
Yours looks awesome!

 

[Fuzzonaut]

Sound clips?

Nope, I'm afraid, .... or maybe not yet.

I just finished it today and test noodling was fun, actually you don't even have to play anything to drift around in those aptly described weird/dark territories.

I almost bought one of these just for the quote but I don't have very much love for verb on the bass. You're nudging me back in that direction though.

The demos sound really good!

It's out there!

I would like to put it out there that I would love to see PedalPCB do one of these. I built one myself and it rules. EAE is pretty regularly out of their boards and I'm spoiled by your better layouts (specifically the offboard wiring pads)

... and I'm spoiled by your better layouts

Jesus, don't let John see this.

I mean compared to Aion, PCB Mania, FuzzDog, etc it's like night and day. Every time I have to use someone else's boards I get so annoyed having to connect all the ground connections to each other with only one hole on the pcb just to name 1 thing. I don't know much about laying out PCBs, but it blows me away how no one gives each jack it's own ground pad like you guys. /rant over

I remember Tom Cram mentioned he has you guys design his layouts for Spiral Electric and I wasn't surprised at all.
