De la Terre à la Lune (Moonshot)

[SYLV9ST9R]

Here's my build of the Moonshot, with Jules Verne inspired graphics.
Pretty nice tremolo, simple and effective.
I tried a couple of LDR (courtesy of @thewintersoldier, thanks!) but settled on the recommended 5516 which offered the more balanced attack and response IMO.
I went against some design rules I habitually follow and made the pot labels not super legible, but I wanted to use a vintage distressed font and let the graphics shine as I found that 1877 illustration for the book really nice.
The only thing that went wrong is a slight drilling error that leaves the bypass LED a bit off-center to the left.

Not sure this will be the one to make it to my board. Eager to see the new fully-loaded harmonic tremolo @PedalPCB is cooking, might be the one, as I liked the Pendulum but sold it to build and try other options. The search is still on.

Excellent graphical choice !

My dad (whom I found out was really not just a couple years ago) was French-Canadian, and migrated to the US with his family in 1909. I remember him teaching me to count in French, and random phrases.

It seems you have quite the interesting family story!
Research shows that about 900K French-Canadians left for the New England area between 1840 and 1930, with about half eventually returning. First because farm lands were getting scarce, and then to work in factories.

good looking build. You should check out John Patton's cardinal tremolo. Harmonic and optical in one unit. that's what lives on my board. https://1776effects.com/products/cardinal-tremolo-v2

Thanks for the recommendation Chris (and the LDR!). Will def check this one!
