[Aion] Redshift

Build Rating

5.00 star(s)

I've had a bit of a hiatus from building thought-out pedals whilst I worked on my supply chain tool and filled my lust with vero and raw enclosures.

When my Tayda order came in, the first up on my build list was a Phase II. Unfortunately, muggins here forgot to get 1/8W resistors so it got nudged back and I worked on the other phase in my backlog. Hence the Redshift..

Build-wise, it's pretty straight forward, take your time and there's nothing tricky except perhaps the drilling. The stand-alone footswitch boards are not as practical as they could be, makes you relish the thought put into the PPCB layouts.

Sound-wise, it's really nice. Don't have much phase to compare to, but I am happy thus far.

I'm pretty happy with the results, I took a lot of inspiration from @thewintersoldier (who doesn't seem to be around). He really made me think about upping my game and I'm deeply grateful for all his motivation. (Though I haven't done much on my mediocre photography skills).

The other one to thank is @Dan M who share his graphics template. What a legend! Talk about saving my time..

To pay it forward, here is the final PDF if anyone else wants the graphics. Hit me up if you want the Affinity Designer working file.

Fantastic build. I’ve built a copy of redshift pedals, one straight from Blackout Effectirs.

That textured red looks incredible!

The foot switch nut orientation is pretty eye catching.

We need a demo..... That's a lot of buttons and switches man!

I only play 4 chords in E major. Not a lot of fun to be had listening to it.. but yeah, I guess it's warranted. Still working out the combinations there, I can see how a simpler pedal is easier to just put on the floor and play. That said, I have found 4-6 distinct configurations so far which I like..

4 chords in e major is plenty to show what the pedal sounds like!

4 chords are 25% more than I ever bothered to learn. That makes you a guitar expert in my eyes.

What’s this chord you speak of?

Sweet build

That one is on my list of "stuff to build"... looks amazing!
