SOFTii (and some others dump)

I kinda forgot about that SOFTii board and when I finally got around to build it, the build doc seemed to have changed, as some values on the BOM and the PCB were different. I socketed all those and went with what was printed on the PCB. Seems to have been the right move, as it sounds as it should ... at least, I assume it does. The switch kicks in some dirt, I like both settings. I used MPF4293s it called for, from Musikding.

And while I'm here, I'll just add some others builds, with PCBs from other places, as that seems to be ok.

First up 2 Deadend FX things. I really like their choice of circuits and their occasional "add ons", the PCB layout though is a usually a bit, well ... not fully optimized, maybe?
Anyway, here's their take of the LAL Super Oscillo 88, with expression input. A lot of very cool sounds in there. I'm a sucker for anything oscillating.
An the "Wurmloch", which is the DBA Flaming Lips Space Ring, but with a few extras: clean circuit, blend and what I labelled "Spice", which is added crosstalk between the 2 ring modulators. It's tons of fun, if you're into ring mods.

2 Moonn PCBs, both DBA circuits: Interstellar Overdrive and Reverberation Machine with added Feedback (on/off toggle + knob) and Dry Kill (Footswitch).
The OD is cool, although kinda tame for a something DBA. The RM is glorious, adding a hint of feedback brings the "je ne sais quoi" that you immediately miss when turned off. And killing the dry is soooo spooky, amazing.

I also made a Lectric Soy Sauce, which is a DOD Meatbox. The chip is from Ebay, (UK, iirc), it seems that I got lucky as it sounds like my RI Meatbox, just with a hair less volume. I called it the Smash Box.
And another Coda Black Hole, boost always on, with a potentiometer on the outside. I love his take on the Model T.
And last one, then I'll stop boring you: Zorg Basstard. This one is super cool, for me as a bassist. 3-band OD, each band with gain and volume, mids shifting switch. A winner. 1 zillion sounds available.

Nice work! You've been busy.
Love the Wurmloch, it sounds great.
Nice variety of graphics, but that Zorg looks so great with those line and curved boxes :love:

Thanks, and I'll pass on the Zorg love, as those graphics where made by a friend. I knew what I wanted, but my Photoshop "skills" are very, very limited.

Those all look fantastic! I desperately want to make the wurmloch, but I’ve promised myself I won’t order more PCBs until I have the graphics done and the parts ordered for at least 10 of the PCBs I have sitting around now
