Buttoned this one up yesterday afternoon, then spent like 45 minutes futzing with the trim pots to get them where I liked it.
Still not sure about the reverse mode setting.
When I was a kid we called envelope filters "Jerry Garcia boxes" heh, since he was the only guitar player I knew that used them as widely as he did.
This is definitely a foray out of my comfort zone of both sounds and builds, not sure if I'll use it much but so cool to have one!
I also got the Waddle Box board and will be interesting to see how different (or same) that one is.
Simple build, I think I spent more time fixing the goofed drill hole for the toggle switch than actually populating the board.
Not sure what I was thinking at the time but I punched the wrong hole, then drilled it, then when dry fitting everything started cursing in Chinese.
(And I don't even speak Chinese if that gives you an idea how torqued I was about it......
)
Anyway, had to do some creating bending of the pot legs, then when I fired it up I had nada......turned out the pot legs were bent so far they were shorting out on a couple of solder tits. Had to come up with a makeshift insulator with a cut up pot cover and some hot glue. BUT it works now!
Been having a lot of fun channeling my inner "Jerry" with this thing.
So in love with my Seafioam Green tele, but for some reason in video it looks like it's Sonic Blue. Is that what you're seeing? (I can't be trusted....)
Also, so in love with my new VHT amp! Man, the clean tone just kills!
