I built the El Sol and it sounds killer! However, I've noticed that in between palm muted notes the effect has a strange compression like sound, like of the 386 amps is trying to catch up with the other....not sure how to explain, but it does sound different than a typical Acapulco Gold. I found...

I bought 2 FV-1 chips from Electro-Smith and they charged half the amount of the chips for shipping - one of them didn't work very well in the Hydra Delay, and the other worked great in the Arachnid. Then I bought 1 from Small Bear and it worked perfectly in the Octagon without the extreme...

I tried using a 78L15 and got a lot of ticking, but it went away when I replaced it with a 78L12.... Has anyone tried doing the input resistor mod to increase the volume?

I have a variety of GL55 series LDR's and I'm wondering if these work good for the Electrovibe? I have 06, 16, 28, 37, 39 and 49. Also, do you try to match light/dark resistance with the 4 LDR's, sort of like the way you try to get matched FET's when building phasers? Or if the LDR's aren't...

I was wondering on the solder side, there are 2 pads labelled 1044. Do we bridge those if we are going to use the MAX1044 or is that for a 1M SMD resistor?

I was thinking of trying this build. Does anyone have a sample of how you drilled the enclosure for the openings of the slide pots? Just drill a bunch of small holes and file the openings right?

Cool thanks for the reply! Yeah I made that mistake when I ordered a bunch of the newer Panasonic caps from Mouser and forgot about looking at the dimensions LOL so I got a bunch of oversized caps. And I did the same thing with some of the Wima caps. But I was able to try out a couple vero...

I just had a general question about what everyone has the best luck with as far as cap choices. I see a lot of pics where MLCC's are used for everything, and then a mix of film and MLCC's, and then box film, greenies, NOS Panasonics ect... I was wondering what everyone preferred for the type of...

Just started this, got my SMD's on but trying to figure out what 1uf caps to use. I was going to try shoving some film caps in there and bend the leads but man the spacing is tight! I noticed you used the blue ceramics, do they sound groovy? Seems like there's not room for film caps between all...
