Yeah... this pedal again... The main issue (so far) is that I have no voltage at TP1. I saw the other posts about R15, so I had removed the 1k5 I had and put in a 10R trim pot so that I could adjust to accommodate for head dissipation (I did also add heat sinks) - although I don't have to worry...

To pile on with experiences, recently got an order from Tayda, about 150 for the parts and 50 for shipping a it did some really quickly though. Certainly has me trying to get more parts from US vendors, but sometimes Tayda is the only source I could find some things and the drilling/UV printing...

Yeah, I’m finishing that one up one of these days. I put in a trim pot for the resistor, so we’ll see what I land on. Also seems that the improved mixer has a bug, so the suggestion is to use the traditional mixer option. As far as DIY, I like the Spring Reverb FV1 program that’s floating...

Good insight! I just pulled out R15 after seeing these threads. My thought is to add a 10 ohm trim pot, either on the board if I can make it fit or on a strip board so that I can play with the resistance and not burn the board up with changing resistor values.

Yup, that’s the usual way to do it, but I happened down an unnecessary rabbit hole

In case it's of interest to anyone, I followed this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4805123?sortBy=best) to create an Automator app for MacOS so I can launch SpinCAD from the Launchpad, which makes things very convenient!

Ahh, I see it now, thank you! I also now see that specified in the instructions, so, I'm just hard of seeing apparently.

Hey everyone, I moved computers and was looking to install SpinCAD designer. I cloned the git repo, but I can't seem to find the .jar file (even when searching for jar files in the git web interface). I feel like I must be blind and I'm missing something obvious - any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the tip! My Terrarium is still in progress, so perhaps I’ll try adding this in the vicinity of C2 and R9

Yup, that’s basically what I was thinking, I’ll have to see if it makes more sense to then put C2 and the RC filter on the pot side of the PCB since space may be tight to also fit the seed above everything.

Very interesting, so in theory this could potentially grafted in the vicinity of C2 and R9? I’m thinking to add the 10k resistor in series with the 1u cap and the 1nF cap to ground at R9 maybe?

I built a vibracaster, which I really like. It’s a starved plate design, but I could definitely see some tweaks to use hv plates and even use tubes for the LFO rather than transistors. It’s a pretty classic bias based tremolo, and quite nice, I think.

I think with how much you’ve been pushing the envelope for what’s possible in DIY it’s understandable that some things may turn out less than ideal, especially on the first rev. I appreciated your email and your dedication to seeing things through - it really speaks to your character. I at...

I’m never going to financially recover from all of these…

I’ve really enjoyed following this project, super amazing what you all have come up with! I agree with others that the pricing you’ve proposed seems super reasonable - for maybe a comparison, I built the partial kit that MAS offers for the his Mirmir’s well, which was about 100. I didn’t think...
