What's on the workbench?

Every dog has his day. Yours will come. Keep your chin up!

I just can't wait.

I always figured you'd have a setup like this:

Can't wait for the build docs for this one

Okay

I almost never drink black tea without milk. I was always told that black tea straight leads to kidney stones…

well, if last week is anything to go by, that’s true. I’ll be cutting back on the tea a bit out of an abundance of caution (the oxalates are what causes the stones; they’re also in kale and spinach and the like), but the real importance is just staying well-hydrated. As long as you’re drinking enough to be regularly flushing out your kidneys, crystals shouldn’t have the chance to build up enough to form stones.

Looks like a completely different animal from either of the older units.

I can't remember if the big box did or not (and I can't find my 1/8" adapter for power) but this one hits ring mod territory.

Speaking of ring mod…
???

 

[Robert]

I haven't forgotten... I'm trying to eliminate the need for a special power supply without having to stack PCBs...

It's a tight fit.

 

[Robert]

You mean you don't devote 100% of your time to this? Slacker...

I never said that.

See there's this guy with this Univibe......

I haven't looked at the schematic that was traced from yours to compare, but you know there was already an official EHX schematic out there.
Never hurts to be sure though, lord knows we've been burned enough by incorrect schematics.

 

[Robert]

Did your big box have any ticking?

I eventually gave up on de-ticking the older 2-knob version, but even my 3-knob has a little bit of ticking in the square position. Nowhere as bad as the vintage one, but noticeable.

 

[Robert]

Cool. Stepping out for a few minutes so if I don't immediately respond I'll be right back.

 

[Harry Klippton]

Hey wait you're not allowed to leave

 

[Robert]

It's possible that I confused the abruptness of the square mode with a tick...

The 2-knob sounded like a damned metronome (which is apparently a problem with the original as well), so I was already a bit frustrated.

 

[Scruffie]

Just to let you know, by DIY law, you have to show me them EHX guts.

In the middle of shipping right now, but I snapped this one for you.

I'll get some better closeups with light (and the PCB removed) later this evening.

There's a bunch of opamps, a quad VCA, and obviously a microcontroller somewhere (probably the other side).

No Easter egg? Booooo

Yeah... that's the stuff... I'm gonna need a minute guys.

If you stop drinking coffee, you could cut 85% of all joy in this miserable life. I can't function without a minimum of two cups. When I used to smoke there was nothing better than a hot cup of coffee with my cigarette to level up my anxiety

Mmmmm undergrads breakfast.
