This one has been in and out of my cart for a while and after watching @jjjimi84 video of his for the who knows how many times I finally pulled the trigger.

Boxed it up and no dice. Bummer. Then I realized I bet those dual gangs are most likely grounding out, quick check and yup. Fixed it and tried again and wham! This thing is pretty awesome. It’s also really cool how much you can dial the exact sound you want in via the two trims inside. It’s fun to watch that little lamp swell up with brightness.

I had a 1590c sitting around so I used it. It’s super tall but for this build it works just fine. My first faceplate build as well and I have to say I have missed the boat on graphics. My 2023 is going to be focused on graphics.

Anyway, cool pedal sounds accurate to me. Love the look as well.

Awesome job! My EV sits on the back row of my board I think I would actually appreciate the extra height

Any good solutions for running drives into this bad boy? So far half my overdrives will not play nice with this. It sort of reminds me of the magnetron in that it’s very sensitive to what is hitting the input.

I always run Univibe first in chain after fuzz and wah.

Tube screamer always works.

Electrovibe. Big thanks to PedalPCB and @Big Monk for board, faceplate and modifications. Also thanks to Klaus at Musik Ding who sells the parts for a lot less than Mouser. Great kit. Any ideas on the ideal spacing for the photo resistors and the lamp? I set them at about 7mm because I saw other builds that way. Jam pedals have a video showing their vibe pedal with the gap at about 1.5cm. What gap should I aim for? Also do I calibrate with intensity and volume at max or half way? Thanks for help.....
