Leprechaun/rainbow machine finally .... renamed again...

[Riccardo Turacchio]

So finally I finished this weird box and I love it
It was a smooth build but I have to say I got confused by the the led map....on the board say I for the led long leg but is actually the opposite..also i tried to dim the white led same as the red but even with almost 20k resistance still really bright...
I also inverted the dispersion pot....it makes more sense like this to me....
Still have to build an external passive attenuator to send control voltage in the expression input...next days....
But at the end is already one of my favourite effects....for those WTF moments....secret weapon

Those vintage modular synth themed pedals are looking good!

Thanks
More are coming....just undecided between the Circulator, Salad Days, hydra delay+Celsius, bit crusher...more ring modulars? What do I need? -_-

 

[Feral Feline]

Ring Modulators.

You need more ring modulators, everyone ... needs more ring modulators.

Stick it in with the Hydra/Celsius build!


Really cool build on the Leprechaun and a great name for it.

Thread 'LED polarity'

The LED symbol printed onto PedalPCB circuit boards is being updated, please read!


Proper installation of LEDs in PedalPCB circuit boards

Traditionally the Cathode of a diode is installed into the Square pad of a PCB.

Symbol #1 and Symbol #2 conform to this standard. Symbol #3 is technically incorrect by this standard and will be phased out of all future PedalPCB circuit boards. This transition will be progressive as new stock is ordered, so care must be taken to ensure that the correct pinout is identified...

Good to know....now after the second build I will take more care for the next

Don surely approves!

 

[Munro306]

how did you make the box? Looks super cool

 

[steviejr92]

Dude this is very creative! I love the enclosure!

 

[pricklyrobot]

Diggin’ the Buchla vibes. Now you just have to figure out how to incorporate some banana jacks!

I made myself a couple of pseudo templates for my CNC machine....at least for the wood cutting and carving the aluminium is a foil 0.75mm ...the cnc can handle also this type of cut in 2 or 3 passages, then i have an adapter to use a marker for all the lettering and graphic elements ...I still have to hand fold the aluminium drill and assemble directly on the wood sides

That's awesome. Years ago I thought about using paint pens in an EasyDraw to do this.

Very cool.
