First off im going to say this pedal is nothing like any other pedal ive experienced. I read @Robert relating this pedal to fairy dust which i think it a fairly accurate description of what this sounds like. Its by far the most unique pedal i currently have in my arsenal!
The build itself was incredibly smooth. I just had to put a couple caps in parallel to make up for some values here and there. I also had to sub R15 with a 18k resistor i ran out of them! The pedal functions fine and sounds the same as the demos ive heard of it. I also should mention this is my first time ever soldering an Fv-1. It was surprisingly simple once you get the 1st and last pin soldered down. Thanks to @MichaelW for providing a guide on how he does it. I pretty much followed it and it let me to success! Something i should mention is if you use the on/off/on spdt switch then be prepared for it to do nothing in the middle position. I went to test the pedal to see if it was working and i was completely bummed when it did nothing but the vol was working. I thought i ruined the Fv-1 when soldering. Then i put the switch to the up position it it immediately came to life!
Fairy dust.....ever since i read it, its how i hear it now.... I mean honestly i would love to put up a demo just so you guys can here this thing in action. I have plans on doing so maybe tomorrow! Its amazing the extent to which you can push it to. Itll start doing some wild stuff with all the controls cranked. Im going to be messing with it today!
5 out 5 for me! The build wasnt too challenging other than the SMD soldering but that was the fun part! Its a very rewarding build especially when you hear what it can do!
