What's your nemesis circuit?

Yes, that's how I usually test a new build.
It got better in the studio (my place picks a lot of radio), but it was a lot, even then

I have used shielded wire for builds with porential risk like flanger, phaser etc.
At least on the input wire. It can be a bit of work and the signal wire easily breaks. Also the shield needs grounding in one end only in case you try this.
Duo Phase I think I did them all with shielded, then had very different phasing on A vs B. So experimented with LED strength which forced me to un box a few times... so of course the shielded wires broke off a few times.
Building pedals can be a test of character and patience. Like some Zen thing...
 
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

@Scruffie Did you do the Revolution (Cornish G2) circuit for them as well? Or just the more difficult modulation circuits. That’s pretty cool Verlie is as cool as they come.

No, that one's a Buffalo FX circuit so neither I nor Verlie did those, I think it was a small French company and the owner got sick? I think there's a TGP thread about the whole saga, any way, she ended up taking over the designs.

A large majority of the stuff I've done hasn't even been released yet, things gonna git crazy, but I'm partially responsible for The Gallstone, Kurt's Cologne (not for the names 🤣) Echo Flanger, Deluxe Elastic Mattress, 126-Flanger/Doubler and a few of the overdrives/distortions... Retiklon, OG-1, Mischief & Distortion-II.

She really is, her ethos is incredibly refreshing, has a huge vintage gear collection and she's willing to take massive gambles on circuits other people won't touch for complexity.
Even had my mum sent flowers totally unannounced when my dad passed, just the nicest person in the business.

She actually traded me my old MXR M118 with the 3 Retircon SAD1024 for 2 of her pedals from US to Australia lol! I was just a stranger! I own one of her Elastic Mastresse as well but I REALLY want the new Deluxe version. I think I’m one of the few that actually likes the DEM more than the EM. I owned the last version DEM first and then fell into a rabbit hole a owned every version of the original EM. I like both circuits but I think the joy of owning the DEM first just did it for me.

Pretty wild that you say things are gonna get crazier because she released some incredible pedals already! Look forward to seeing the future releases
