Thanks! Yeah DHL seems like a nightmare these days. (Apologies for the extra thread---making a new one seemed like a good idea at the time).

Oh yeah, I don't expect duties on Thailand Post, but didn't expect it to be $60 either, so I was curious if other Canadians have found luck with the couriers, as at least then I'd get the parts quickly. I'm just scared of all their hidden and increasing fees.

About to place my first Tayda order in a while and shipping is up to $60 for Thailand Post, which used to be my go-to before it got more expensive. Any Canadians ordered recently using DHL or Fedex? Curious if it's worth trying my luck with duties/fees, as I imagine it might be similar in cost...

This is what I use as well. Works well enough, but I'm no expert.

I also built one using a computer fan and some carbon filters. Works well enough if I'm pretty close, but I may look at something more powerful eventually

This sounds lovely. I don't need another trem or reverb, but might have to give this a shot.

I've still got a mislabelled Rainbow Machine that stares at me every day. I keep thinking of ways to fix it without redoing the entire paint job, but never work up the guts to actually try, so it just laughs at me.

Good to know. There's also a layout for it over at Tagboardeffects, so I may try that if I feel ambitious one day.

Ah! Misread that, sorry. Looks like they are sold out currently anyway. I pulled the trigger on the Blue Warbler for now, but will probably try the Old School eventually.

Thanks! I hadn't seen that one. Seem the dynamics there control only the speed, whereas something like the Blue Warbler controls the depth/amplitude of the effect (and not the speed, so both are a trade-off).

Thanks. Maybe I'll give the Blue Warbler a shot, as it seems to do what I'm after, just don't hear many folks talking about it (maybe it's more of a niche feature than I thought!).

Anyone tried out the Blue Warbler circuit by Jon Patton (available via jmkpcb)? It's the closet DIY project I've seen that seems to do something similar to the Night Wire in terms of dynamics.

Does anyone know of a dynamic or touch-sensitive tremolo project, like the EQD Night Wire? I'd love to play around with a harmonic trem, but also something that backs off when playing harder, etc.

I built one out of an old computer fan, some filters and a tin. Works well if it's close to the source (but that sounds like the case for most of them).

Nothing excessive done in the two that have failed on me (one after regular use and the other while tightening carefully). I've just learned to be careful with them, as they don't seem very robust (no fault of PedalPCB, they are the same quality elsewhere too).

I did the the same thing. Ha. Made a lot more sense when I realized my mistake.

Looks great! Though you may find with the PedalPCB board "Tone" is on the bottom left and "Magic" is in the middle. (Don't worry, several of us have done the same thing, assuming it was the same layout as the real Rainbow Machine.)

The two pads on the board that were damaged go to ground, as does the leg that broke off the FV-1. If there's any of pin 25 left on the chip you could connect it to pin 24, then connect that to another ground source. If it were mine, I'd give it a shot before tossing the board, but I'm also...

Oh wow. Didn't even know this pedal or this board existed until seeing this. Very cool!

Very cool! Are you doing anything to deal with the difference in signal level between eurorack and guitar pedals?
