Lone Seeker Cocked Wah for my SCHMORG

[dawson]

So, thanks to the great wealth of shared information here on the forum, I've got here my first complete DipTrace project- a cocked wah version of the Tychobrahe Parapedal Wah that I put together using the schematic for Pedal PCB's Parasite Wah:

It took two tries to get everything right- the first PCB didn't work until I realized I had my power diode and LED swapped in my schematic the knob also functioned opposite of a normal tone control, so I flipped it around so it's set up the way I'm used to. I got some good practice in DipTrace and fortunately JLC made it so my mistakes were cheap!


Anyhow, getting to the actual sounds, this is a great filter!
I line it up before all my gain pedals and turn it on during certain lead/solo bits to get some really unique tones that poke through the band EQ. It's like being able to turn any drive pedal into a Bloody Finger variant.
Running it into the Persica Fuzz is absolutely killer- like fitting a pair of mirrored aviators onto some already righteous tone.

The faceplate can mount into my SCHMORG pedalboard/rack build, or all alone in a 'dummy' 125B:

Thanks for reading!

I’m loving the aesthetics of the SHMORG Board!!!

Congrats on the successful Tychobrahe transformation — it's Schmörgalicious!

The Schmörg is responsible in part for my decision to adopt the 120mm Paradigm.

That Schmorg daughter board is hot too...

Thanks @steviejr92! It's 100% influenced by great work I've seen around the forums-
I'm using aspects from my favorite PCB designers- symmetry much like PedalPCB, added a border much like MadBean, went red and white much like Effects Layouts, all while using Sheepy Love's DipTrace Library as a foundation.

Thanks @Feral Feline I'll be looking forward to seeing more 120mm content!

Aw- thanks!
Part of me prefers wiring the footswitch the old-fashioned way but the daughter board works way better for holding my larger In/Out wires.

HE’S UNSTOPPABLE

WE'LL SEE

Thanks @Bio77!
I'm really happy with how it turned out- this circuit really is a great little stacker.

Combining all those aspects has paid off! It really has an old school 70s vibe that I love! We need more SHMORG Boards!!!

@steviejr92, Rad! I'm really happy with how the manufacturing turned out- just imagine what those dudes in the 70's could've done with the internet & Chinese prototyping services
There are a couple other projects in the works and I plan to keep the visual style pretty consistent.
