After seeing so many great builds here on the forum, I had to try to build an electrovibe myself.
Overall it took me a long time to source all the components, solder the pcb, and then come up with an enclosure.
I'm sick and tired of painting raw aluminum enclosures, so I've purchased a laser engraver, to do graphics on factory powder-coated enclosures.
It took me some time to understand all the settings, but eventually the first result didn't come out too bad.
Overall I'm really happy with the pedal. It took some fiddling to properly tune gain and bias, but eventually, by referencing a digital model in my kemper I got it done.
It sounds pretty rad. The only detail I'm not super keen on is that you can hear the circuit oscillating through the amp even with no guitar signal, but the digital model in the kemper does that as well, so I guess it is normal.
I'd like to thank all the forum members that answered my questions, in a lot of different threads, and In particular @Big Monk who opened a great thread on electro vibe modifications.
My circuit is stock for the time being, apart from the unity gain mod as per r.g. keen specs.
Cosmetically, it looks too black, so I’ve ordered different chicken head knobs to try on.
