There was a time a few years ago where I was frying FV-1 chips like crazy (killed about 5 of them). Never figured out how/why it was happening. Have built other things in the meantime, and bought new FV-1s, but haven't had the guts to try them again since

I appreciate all this talk of the Deflector not being so great, as I somehow fried the FV-1 in my build and never got it fully working (would work for 10 minutes, then die). Makes me not worry so much about what I'm missing

Nice job! Those look great. It really is a lovely community

Thanks! I've never approached a cohesive set before and now it makes scoff at my own hodgepodge pedal board. Ha I'd also be lying if I said each set of labels was perfect the first try---there was a lot of rubbing off and starting again (thankfully possible with a layer of clear coat between)

Thanks! Yeah, I sprayed a 2-colour gradient on each of the tops, then used acrylic markers and paint pens for the designs and lettering

They have now been demoed and are off to their new home with a seemingly very happy owner!

Someone in my neighbourhood overheard me talking about building pedals, including my backlog of boards, and asked me to build a complete setup of 5 pedals for them, as they had none at the moment. I'm not sure either of us thought it was a legitimate proposition at first, but we talked through...

Nice! Very excited to build my Troglodyte once I replenish my parts stash a bit

Oooo. I have some Synthux kits on the way that are Daisy Seed Based, but maybe it's time to try a Funbox too?

Looks great! Nice resurrection

Ooooo. Nice. Been messing with a Madbean Glam chorus a bit here and there to try to achieve similar results (slapback, vibrato, etc.), but I like the more worn-cassette sound of this vibrato

Always sucks when a pedal dies. Haven't had anything go wrong when using the proper 9V DC power though. Repeating Robert's questions from above, as they would help clarify what's wrong: Even it the EEPROM died, you'd still have dry signal with the mix turned down, if that's dead too...

Thanks! That's inspiring. Maybe I'll just try one of my other million eeproms in it and see if anything sticks out. I still have a few un-built/unfinished FV-1 boards, but I've still got anxiety from having killed so many chips a few years back (still never figured out why---new house in a new...

Thanks for the wealth of info, @Feral Feline! I did take a look at a few of the build docs. I should also have made it clear that this is a fully finished, boxed up pedal I'm just not using, not something I'm in the middle of building. Seems unfortunate to have a precious FV-1 chip languishing...

It occurs to me that I build my HAARP/Arpanoid years ago and it has done nothing but sat velcroed to my wall. I feel like there's some FV-1 potential to unlock there and I'm curious if there are other eeprom programs that would work with the same control set (I've tried to the internal FV-1...
