DEMO Moonn Ultra Schwurbel

[jcpst]

It’s a Schwerbel, but two of them together that you can blend.

I had the enclosure and PCB ready for this over a month ago. I was just missing one pot. My parts came in for my next batch, so I went straight to finishing this one.

This is the first build since my knee surgery. I can now sit at the desk long enough to work on pedals again. I’m back!

In the build docs it says the speed knobs are backwards. Rather than flipping it around, I just called it ‘slow’ instead.

When I fired it up the first time it didn’t work. Oh, whoops



So I swapped around my cables and it worked fine.

No biggie, just flip em around.


But wait, there’s more. Whoops



So I pulled that trimpot out and replaced it with a lead. I didn’t really need the LED trim anyway.



Also, I made a little demo in case anyone wonders what it sounds like.

Nice! I only heard about Moonn because of their sale a few months ago and am still waiting on my order. Can't remember if I got one of these, but sounds gnarly. Nice job troubleshooting too!

That sounds awesome!

Good to hear you're recuperating from the knee surgery, too.

Yeah, that seems to be typical. My order took a few months, but I eventually got it. There was an extra pcb tossed in too.

Oh yeah I totally schnapped into this schwurbel. I’m just gonna leave Mr. Savage’s musical contributions here to scar anyone that has never heard it:

That sounds awesome!

Thanks! I think I need to experiment with it more. So far one PWM sounds better than both- there’s a lot of settings where phase cancellation is taking out all the bottom end.

Man that thing sounds nasty! Glad your knee is feeling bette..I can hear your boy in the background!

That sounds really cool. I know what you mean about recovering from surgery having just had carpal tunnel and arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

I like the nasty ones

Somehow the recording captured my son at a moment in time where he wasn’t talking about penises or diarrhea.

I was lamenting that I only got a single Schwurbel, until I read the bit about the bottom falling out.





No, 'arry, you can't.




Still... that bottom-loss is only on "a lot of settings", not all settings ... your Schwurbel Deluxe does sound great... hmmm ... maybe next year?

The two together does have an almost chorus like effect, and then of course two different pulse speeds beating against each other is cool. A clean blend would go a long way towards getting both schwurbs to get funky with a bass.

I only came back here to say this: I can walk again!
