Lovetone Brown Source

Yeah, I know there's an AionFX board, but honestly I've been making a concerted effort to move toward PedalPCB for my stuff.... and there's already a Big Cheese board... sooo....

And the Aion boards for it are a raging PITA … sooo… save us, Obi Wan I mean @Robert Kenobi. You’re our only hope!

I built one of the AionFX versions. It's a good pedal. Definitely has some great tones in it.

 

[Fingolfen]

I've had decent results, but a recent Big Cheese (Monolith) build went completely off the rails for some reason, and I'm getting less and less enamored of the AionFX daughter boards...

... and as I need both for my Cheese Source clone...

For sure.

My beef with Aion is the breakout boards. The rotary breakout board in particular drove me nuts and the assembly seemed needlessly fussy. Then the rotary switch went bye bye (not Aion’s fault obv) and the thought of trying to replace it … just no.

But it sounded great!

I get it. That's a fair point. I certainly have had at least one experience with a switch messing up and having to replace the entire breakout board. At least AionFX sells them individually. But still...it would be nice to have the option to not have to use a breakout board like that. Heck, I'd settle for one that gives you the option of using wires to hook up the switch.

Which gives me an idea...why not just wire it up and not attach the switch directly? Granted, kind of a hack but does alleviate the problem

I don’t get the complaints about the rotary breakout boards. It’s the same as what Robert did on the flock harmonizer PCB, and what FuzzDog does for the Gristleizer. By far the best way to incorporate a rotary switch imo.

You don’t have to get the complaints. My experiences are my own. Carry on.

A Cheese Source that fit in a 1590BB would be *chefs kiss*

Even if it just fit in the 1590XX like the Duo Phase, that would be great as well...

 

[Feral Feline]

1590XX is doable by just building the separate 1590N1-sized FX. Then you can have complete independence with a normalised jack config, room for a loop-bypass stomper… not that those couldn’t be built into a single board, but what are the chances of having all your preferred options vs other people’s preferred mods?

Fucking “edit-post” is going haywire on me…

 

[Fingolfen]

I'd done a double build in the 1590XX with an order reverser... but it is a pain in the butt... I do really like the idea of a single board. The way the Duo Phase is wired you could still do an order reverse two jack, or a four jack configuration...

 

[MountaintopPedals]

And obviously use a switch/footswitch for the order instead of adding more jacks like the original.

Something like this... with fewer wires...

Steggo's First Combo Pedal - The Sudden but Inevitable Betrayal - (Lovetone Cheese Source)

So I'd built clones of the Lovetone Brown Source (the Firefly TV show themed Browncoat) using the AionFX Obelisk board and the Lovetone Big Cheese (the 2001 themed Monolith) using the AionFX Monolith board (one of the few times I've stuck with the trace name of a board for the actual pedal), and...

Yes! Beautiful build. I actually have both of these Aion boards, along with the other lovetone Aion boards, mostly populated sitting in my work space waiting on me to decide if I want to build them in one enclosure like this.

 

[Fingolfen]

Pssst... any chance of making this happen???? Maybe even paired with the Big Cheese to make a one board Cheese source with four jacks like the Duo Phase???

Bumping this because I just finished the AionFX board, but this is my favorite store on the Citadel.


And, it's a really nifty Overdrive, that honestly took me by surprise
