The last one (for now) of my board themed around my favorite artists.

I made a massive error on this build, where on auto pilot I soldered the rotary switch on the wrong side (Idiot)! one ruined rotary switch and much annoying desoldering later, its now complete! really happy with how it sounds, still need to play around with the settings on each mode, but sounding great so far. I got the FV-1 pre-soldered as I didn't want to attempt that.

UV printed design on matt black enclosure from Tayda print service. I noticed that at this scale, some detail is too fine and so need to increase size of text / lines in the future.

I've got this on in my queue. Does it sound "authentic" for reverb?

Nice build!

You have to bear in mind I only finished it yesterday, but have been having a play today and I think it sounds good. However, its not up there with some of the professional reverb pedals I've purchased before. I think though that may just be a case of spending more time dialing it in, so probably (highly likely) user error. I need some more time to play about with the settings, but one thing that's also tricky is that the 3 control knobs have different parameters for the different effects, so remembering what they do is hard, probably need to print a cheat sheet. I can't really expect the pedal to rival what I had previously (Walrus Audio R1 / tone master pro etc) but I think with some more time I will be able to get it close. Worth building for sure!

Hi mate, the UV print file is PDF, and this reply box doesn't allow me to attach PDF file format, so if you let me know your email I can email it to you.

Important things to know though!

- I didn't think it was very good! the writing around the "mode" knob is incredibly small, looked fine on screen but in reality its very hard to read. If I was to do it again I would make the circle around the mode knob bigger and text bigger.

- in order to see the red dials, you will need to use "skinny" knobs. the ones I used were 11.5mm dia from love my switches https://lovemyswitches.com/blue-alu...e-finish/?searchid=410912&search_query=barrel

- There is a gloss layer applied, so you need to ensure you pay for the "gloss" service as extra on the Tayda website.

- design was intended for a black background, so you need to use a black enclosure for it to look right

- in case you have not done it before, open the PDF, and in adobe PDF you can switch the layers on and off to view it. There are 3 layers, white, colour and gloss.
