Built this one a few weeks ago but it didn’t work - there’s was no modulation going on, and the LED wasn’t pulsing either. I could kind of hear some modulation when moving the knobs around. So last night I went back and reflowed some subpar solder joints - and now it works! One other note - I noticed that when the blend knob was fully clockwise / fully wet, there was a noticeable volume drop. Tweaking the trimpot fixed it.

Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with the sound of this pedal, the lag and blend knobs give quite a bit of variation beyond standard chorus sounds, which also sound great. Love it!
 
I love how everything is slightly crooked.

How did you do the lettering?

You have me beat most of what I say is meaningless.
100% of what I say is meaningless. The other half is absurd.

Well done!

How did you do the lettering?

Metal stamp set with hammer and anvil, then filled in with a paint pen. Bit risky because it sometimes just chips away powder coating - if that happens I usually just sand off the top! Seems like only blue enclosures don't chip..
 
I was gonna ask you about the powder coating. I really like the metal stamp style, I might give it a try. Very cool work!
