Thought there was a good chance that might happen at NAMM, so I rushed to buy two before it happened 😁

Very cool! Really liking the look of the pedal too

The Magnatone amps tremolo/vibe thing is also so good and somewhat similar in many ways. Posted a thread about it recently tho it may have been a bit too ambitious lol https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/magnatone-stereo-vibrato-tube-based-if-possible.21459/

Nice thick sounding tremolo. Very cool!

Mirage Tremolo is a great name, can’t wait to hear it! edit: Moved my Magnatone vibrato comments & questions to a new thread to hopefully not steal any thunder around what looks to be a great new project

Sweet! This sent me down the vibrato rabbit hole, where I inevitably end up at the Magnatone stereo vibrato demo YouTube section 😁

That looks great! 👍 Sucks that there were issues around Tayda’s drilling of the enclosure

Wow!

That Synergy stuff looks interesting... I didn’t realize that existed, it’s like guitar racks 2.0 or something. Wild stuff!

I just looked at all that’s inside the Neve, and tbh I’d just get it or a prebuilt clone. I’m sure he could clone it tho if he chose to

The way I’m choosing to read it is that a Neve 1073 mic preamp is right around the corner 😁 albeit with a tube added, because reasons lol

Got this from bing about Nichicon caps (using gpt4), it says they’re good for audio equipment use, tho it also says some say they aren’t durable and can fail prematurely, but it doesn’t provide linked sources for that.. and I don’t have enough experience to say one way or the other. I’ve used...

Oddly enough, it seems wise to not use the brand of caps Fender uses in their reissues :

In the interim, I’m going to use the enclosure from an old TubeMP preamp that I somehow managed to blow up in order to house some experiments, and maybe use some kind of wooden frame for added safety until I can work it all out. Likely a lot less safe than any of the prescribed builds 😂, but...

FWIW, I’m considering using larger enclosures for some C2C boards, though I’m not sure yet what would be involved with converting the Tayda drill templates for that. I haven’t actually begun ordering parts yet, tho have bought a few boards from Nathan recently. The 1/4” jacks seem like they...
