JHS Colour Box

[peccary]

I posted this one up in the previous iteration of the Wish List and it got a big response, so I wanted to post it again.

Here's a 19 minute long video on it from JHS with some good A/B demos and you can hear them use the pedal to record a song:

And here's a pretty good Reverb review of the Colour Box V.2:

And here is the previous discussion from the archived Wish List that has some good information as well as some gut shots: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/jhs-colour-box.5702/

I wanted to believe this thread was a fever dream, but it's still here.... so either it's real, or I didn't make it.

Yes, the Crayon is traced. It's in the "long queue" ... it's a pretty big circuit so squeezing it into a 125B without using SMD or stacked PCBs could be a task.

9 knobs on a 125B? I smell 9mm pots.

No no no, the Crayon, not the Colour Box. There's zero chance that one is going in a 125B.

If the Crayon is a big circuit I can’t imagine how crazy the color box is!

Colour box in a 1590G?

Edit: you may have to use a TRS instead of the XLR jack.

Okay, so we get a crayon but no box...at least not a 125B.....got it. Can I have purple then?

Only if you follow @Harry Klippton with the kids books theme.

Where in the queue is it relative to the Ring Mods?

Any chance of this being a project?

Broughton Studio One would also be great, as well as the SV-Pre although that's a different kind of pedal.

Just saw this still of the color box in breadboard form on reddit, looks like it would be fun to try to fit in any enclosure with through-hole parts. Maybe a lunchbox pedal?

 

[CheapSuitG]

I would LOVE one but the Lundahl transformers are not cheap.

 

[drgonzo1969]

Bumping this thread since JHS is pimping the color box on YouTube again

 

[peccary]

Still the highest voted wish list request!

 

[pingpongcomputer]

wait a year and you can probably pick one up on the used market for less than it would cost to build, might even be true now.

 

[thomasbe86]

nothing to do with the color box, but I love these grayhill switches, used the 16 pos back then for varitones, such a fancy click

 

[Morbidpale]

How about the crayon first? Let's grasp at the straw instead.
