Look at all those fancy parts! Looking good!

Well, that just sent me back to the pedal board for another round. I started with your (good) suggestions, and eventually ended up with mix and length way up where it started self oscillating and really going crazy. That's also a pretty good time. For a pedal I claim to hate I keep having a...

Me too!

Interesting... I did notice some weird white noise at one setting - I think with the drag control at zero? It went away as soon as I moved it just off zero, so I wasn't going to worry about it, but I do have a stash of vintage 4049s, maybe I'll try one of those and see if it goes away.

I should start watching demos before I order PCBs :ROFLMAO: If I had tried this at the music store I would have written it off immediately. The weirdness/ modulation features in this do stuff in a metallic high frequency digital-y zone that bummed me out. It's cooler than some other shimmer/...

I thought that too when I started, and it was one of my excuses for using transistor sockets. I've seen that advice repeated on the internet, but never heard from anyone who actually cooked a transistor by overheating. I have personally had issues with transistors making intermittent contact...

That's ridiculous and awesome! I like the Tornado in your demo. The siren reminds me of this video I watched a while ago.

Great font!

Classy looking pedal! Nice photo work too.

That sounds great! I haven’t ventured into any of the aion stuff yet, but I’d like to have one of those.

Could you pop into Victor’s office and tell him to leave me alone?

Looking at the schematic it makes sense to me that it wouldn’t matter that they’re backwards like jwin615 says above. I’ve never been very good at keeping cathodes and anodes straight in my head, but the post-it on my parts bin says “nugget end = stripe end” so I always look for the little...

Also, in these FV1 pedal layouts that always seem to need a bunch of 1u caps in small spaces…

Is it possible your diodes are backwards? I think some of those Russian diodes have the stripe at the wrong end. Someone here pointed out to me that with glass germ diodes you can usually peek inside at the germanium nugget and make sure that’s toward the square pad.

That shelf is killer.

Even though 6 inch is cute and feels right for a pedal, If I could only have one square it would be a 12 inch combination. You can do little stuff with a big square, but you can’t do big stuff with a little square. Good point about the divisions. Most of my stuff is from brands that cater to...

That little Irwin looks good. A 6 incher in that style is super versatile. The one in the video is a Starrett brand. That’s technically a double square, not a combination square. I’m sure someone on YouTube will complain. 🤣 The Starrett stuff is stupid expensive, but the old factory isn’t far...

Here are a couple reasons. Possibly even creepier… that’s a dissection kit. I had it out because I needed a scalpel

One? 🤣 For any kind of layout work, I’d choose a combination square over a fixed t square. Adjusting the square so you can mark from the end instead a number on the scale can make repetitive marking a lot easier.

I also wondered...
