I built the Aion legacy DS-1 with the original chip. I think it sounds great. I like the smaller enclosure too.

Beautiful!!! Very impressive. One of these days I’ll tackle a vero build. It looks intimidating but I bet it’s super rewarding.

Thanks! The clones really are identical if not a little better than the original. In sound and practical use. The old Boss pedals used ACA adapters which required 12v for use. Kind of a pain for regular use. Also this one I believe has the MN3007 chip in it, so it goes to show that the chips...

Thanks! I hope to do more similar videos comparing clones to the originals. I threw the Julia in at the last minute and didn't spend too much time dialing it in. I might have been able to get it closer with a little more effort. Maybe there is a different video to be done comparing the CE-2 to...

Yeah.

It's pretty much the quintessential chorus. If you don't have one then I would go for it. As much as I have pure nostalgia for the Boss CE-2, I think the Julia is a worthy of consideration too.

Thanks! It's the first time I ever made a proper video. I hope to do more in the future and get a little more elaborate with them. Are you in the Philly area?

Cepheid Chorus/CE-2 clone I built a few weeks back for a friend. Uses the Cool Audio v3207 chip. Everything went smoothly except for the daughter board. I recommend not using a daughter board on this build because of the 47n cap in the lower left of the board. I was able to get around it by...

I told you about the walrus and me.

I'll have to check mine but I think you increase the value of R4. I socketed it and tried a bunch of values. At the time I wasn't convinced it was absolutely necessary but I do remember I left a higher value in. Because there is no mix I think it's more of a perceived volume loss. If you don't...

Finish looks great! I've always thought of the Ghost Echo as trying to go for a spring-like reverb. It's unique but still very usable. I've been sitting on a Gravitation but definitely looking forward to it.

Yeah I wasn't expecting much knowing that historically it's not a popular EHX pedal but it wasn't bad.

Taking a break from Big Muffs here is an Electro Harmonix Double Muff. The name is a little misleading because IMO this pedal is closer to an overdrive than a Big Muff Fuzz. It actually sounds pretty good. Probably not something I'd ever use with a band but it's a simple and rewarding build. It...

Hey... I only said they "look" professional. I made no assessments on your ability to use an amp modeler... ;)

Ah, you are a better person than me. Soldering wire on LEDs is one of my least favorite things. I've see the pre wired ones but they always have a resistor already. I worry those won't be flexible enough to sneak into some places I might want to put an LED. It makes your builds look tidy and...

@MichaelW Do you use pre wired LEDs? If so do they come with a CLR?

I agree. Slammed in front of a pushed amp it does a thing. Definitely not great on "pedal platform" amp.

I built those specs a while ago and ended up reverting it to stock. Maybe I did something wrong but it sounded really anemic to me. The stock version is what it is. It has it's place in pedal history, just not on my pedal board.
