Revisiting this post after finishing up my Aion Heliodor build tonight. Thanks for the great write-up Chuck. I really love this pedal, it just has such a pleasant break up. For me, having the gain all the way down hits a nice sweet spot - just a little added dirtiness. That being said, I might...

Just thought I’d chime in - I worked at a music store for awhile and I remember putting in an order for some Bogner pedals including 3 of the Wessex. Two of the those three had bad footswitches! I was incredulous. They felt terrible too, worse than even the cheapest I’ve bought for myself. The...

Damn loving all the coffee talk. I love coffee, and my wife and I have tried all the different ways to brew. She used to be a barista. But unfortunately caffeine just wrecks me. In my mid twenties a had to restrict myself to no caffeine before noon so that I could fall asleep at a decent hour...

Looks awesome! I voted yellow, but I think any of the unmixed colors look good. The mixed colors looks scattered to me.

Looks great. I’m building the OD-3 right now. Wondering if you bought the jfets from aion, and how you got them on the board. I was trying to figure out the best way to socket the smd boards on there - bit hard to tell what you did. Thanks.

Yeah I did those pretty quickly, should probably re record the mod and filter ones with a better loop. Glad to see it’s useful though.

Ohhh might be hard with a switch like that haha. I think I have a extra one that stops, if you’d rather use one of those.

Should be in the order listed from left to right: Room Hall Chamber Cavern Modulated Shimmer Pitch Verb Touch Reverb

I’m guessing the CDXL Reissue will sound similar. I built one and it sounds great.

Awesome, definitely going to build this in the future. Would love to hear a sample!

Thanks, just wanted to show the basic sound. Didn’t even touch the parametric eq. Also for anyone building this, I couldn’t find the recommended DC converter at a reasonable price (I think I found it somewhere for $60!). There were a few more subs mentioned in the build docs, I went with this...

Did a quick demo before I left work today

Here’s my IVP. Turned out nice, I’m digging it. It’s got a clean channel and a “tube” channel. The clean channel is pretty clean, not much to speak of. The tube channel is nice, it can go from a light responsive overdrive to fully saturated and gnarly. I think both channels can really shine with...

Awesome, thanks for the advice. Can’t resist the urge to tinker!

Wondering if anyone can guide me on this - I have a Cross Contaminator that I thought worked just fine until I watched this video demo of the Dirt Transmitter At around 3:15 he shows the bias and gain all the way down. When my CC is at that setting, it’s way too sputtery to use. Here’s a...

Haha. Thanks guys. Ended up avoiding the crummy looking stuff. The top one is definitely 60/40 rosin core, thick as hell though. Used it for a few joints but it was a bit too unwieldy. First thing I did when I got home from work was to put new solder in my backpack for tomorrow!

Ran out of my own solder at work, went digging and found these old spools. The bottom one has a spotty oxidized look to it. Should I stay away from this stuff? Thanks!

Ya know I completely forgot that the Helix has a zen drive model. I’ll check that out for sure.

I’d have to do a closer look, but I know there’s the missing pot, an additional diode, and a different op amp. Might be some other small differences.
