Nice build! JFYI, you can pull the charge pump out to make the volume range more usable.

Another nice build! I also find the slew control a bit jarring at times, especially when playing lower notes, and somewhat hard to dial in. Going off various demos on YouTube, I wonder if it would be less distracting when running a synth through it.

Wow, seconded! What an excellent repository. And as a fellow/longtime GitHub user, huge kudos on the great organization and docs 🙏 Have you talked about your art/design process before? Do you illustrate them all by hand or are they generated?

Is this the first of your projects with labels??? I have those same inductors in my parts pile and have also wondered what they were there for on a couple of occasions :LOL:

Not sure if it’s the lighting or something about the matte clear coat but that finish almost looks like Easter candy. In a good way. Or maybe I’m just hungry. Great build! It’s so tidy and symmetrical. And those flat LED things from AES are always classy. I have one of these in my backlog and...

Nice build! Totally with you on the expression pedal. Maximum fun and magic that way. A+ narration. Felt like watching Bob Ross on mushrooms 🍄

Nice work! Looking forward to finishing mine as well….some day. It looks like the drill template ended up working out?

It looks like your board is before Robert added a low pass filter to the terrarium circuit (see this thread) following an unfortunate update to the Daisy Seed hardware. Depending on your seed’s hardware revision, you might want to add a LP filter as well. [corrected below!] It’s frustrating that...

Needs a gut shot! I recently built one of these too and was really surprised how much I like it, especially in front of other drives. Love that it can switch from mid boost to cocked wah territory and the blend knob is super helpful.

Green ringer is always a great option - https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/squidward/ Fits comfortably in a 1590a so I’d imagine a zyn can would be doable.

I didn’t even think to mention it earlier, but the reverb built into the UA Dream is very nice. I usually keep it at 2 or 3 and never really notice it, which is kinda my benchmark for “realistic” reverb effects, heh.

I haven't ordered it yet, so this is just my interpretation of the Aion build docs, but here's mine. It's unfortunately rotated 180 degrees from yours. The only difference I see right off the bat is the in/out/9v jacks are a bit lower on mine. I think that was a guesstimate that erred on the...

The eternal quest. The only reverb I use regularly is the stock spring tank in my Princeton, set to ~2.5. It's honestly great for playing at home. I've built a handful of DIY reverbs and don't really use any of them: * Gravitation. Has a cool vibe but doesn't sound very "real" and I never use...

Very cool. The wavy finish on the harmonix is mesmerizing to look at. What’s your assessment of the pickup simulator so far? Any lessons learned incorporating it into your circuit design? (I think there might be a thread on this but I can’t find it right now)

Based on this thread I recently picked up some 99% IPA with spray bottle and it's awesome. I've been taking my boards (pre-pots-n-switches) over to the utility sink and spray the bottom a few times, scrub with toothbrush, spray the toothbrush and shake it out, repeat a couple times. In general...
