DEMO PedalPCB Leprechaun Build Report

I built my first PedalPCB pedal. I have built a bunch of pedals over the years, but this was my first time with PedalPCB and I was really impressed with the layout and the board itself. I made the Leprechaun for my cousin (and one for myself is almost finished). I included the Intelligent Relay Board for the "Regen" switch as well as the expression pedal and everything works perfectly. Getting the jacks to fit in a 1590BB with the pots so close was a struggle, but it worked. I powder-coated it pink and used waterslide decals for the labels. I am calling it the Mod Whizzer. "Magical streams of modulation. Urine for a wonderful surprise." Very rewarding build. Lots of fun to play. There are lots of useable chorus-type and slapback-type sounds as well as the absolute laugh-out-loud fun sounds. Here are some pics of the build and a video, I just made. I finished the pedal today and just wanted to send my cousin some of the sounds. Mid-way through the video I plug in my Boss Expression pedal to control the Pitch.

A whiz of a whiz if ever a whiz there was!

Great color! And I appreciate the belt and suspenders approach to the foot switch washers.

That's a tasty bake. I have this board and a spare fv-1 but I have been on the fence as to whether I would dig I enough to keep it on the board. Killer demo. Makes me tempted again...

Thanks! I have been making a lot of pedals with that color, it matches my Jazzmaster.

I totally understand, this is fun and will probably be my chorus for awhile so I can sell my production chorus pedal. It is also fun to know that there is madness lurking below.
