The Monk Vibe: A Modernized Univibe

[bluedmc777]

I’d be in on a group buy for sure. However I agree with the 1590BB…125B would be super tight.

Well, super tight for me atleast. I’m not on your guys level lol.

So, I'm revisiting this because I am thinking of doing a "big box", 1590XX design and adding all the bells and whistles, including dual speeds and a cancel function.

I'll make all the files, including Tayda drill plans and graphics files available here when I do.

I think, based on where my market for production pedals is going to line up around vintage style dirt boxes, that I am officially abandoning this as a production project.

That frees me up to make it a Cadillac DIY project for the forum.

Man I wish I knew how to make pcbs lol.

I definitely want to build this one when it's available...

Okay, here is the concept:



Not sure if i want to add another mini switch for Chorus/Vibrato and put the lamp gain on a pot as well. I'll think it over.

Okay, back to a normal amount of controls and added the output for a foot controller:



Going to start on a board layout now.

Kudos for taking on this ambitious project; building upon the original UniVibe circuit that could use some additional mojo. Looking at your schematics, I don't see a pot for the Pulse control. Is this essentially taking the place of the the Bias trimmer?

I recently built an ElectroVibe Mini and I really like it! I can't help but wonder if the Depth control may be better served as 2 separate controls; 1 as a Mix between clean and wet (maybe the chorus/vibe switch could go away too?), and a Width control. I'm thinking of the controls on my old EHX PolyFlange and how you can fine tune the sweep. Just throwing out some ideas here.

Thanks for all your work on this project and all the ElectroVibe mods! I plan to build another EV mini and implement some of your recommended mods next time around.

The offset.

I don’t see how that’s possible. The depth or intensity is part of the LFO.

No sweat!
