Until I looked at Dead end fx…….

[Diynot]

My wife found herself in my guitar room, confronted with the magnitude of my obsession and in a moment of panic I blurted out “I have one more to finish (my Byzantium) and then I’m done for awhile” and that’s what I believed……until I looked at the Dead End fx website and found they have ring mod boards. So to that end, has anyone built the Hapalochlaena? Along with that, how do you supply a pedal with 18v AC power?

 

[Betty Wont]

I've built one. I have an 18v ac adapter intended for laptop computers that I use to power it.

Don't worry, it will take a few years, but your wife will eventually give up

There’s always one more,

 

[Diynot]

Always

@Betty Wont what 3080 did you use? I see there are/were CA/LM/AS, but don’t see one that is specifically with a TH suffix.

I have a V8 short block on an engine stand next to my basement workbench. It’s a constant reminder that pedal building is a relatively cheap hobby.

I used CA3080.

There’s always one more,

It’s a disease.

It’s a disease.

There is no cure. It just keeps advancing . If you are a pedal whore you know what you've contracted to quote
"If you contract a disease, you catch it, but only use this if it's something serious. You catch a cold, but contract malaria."

I think this is more an addiction……..and I could quit at anytime if I wanted to……

Me too!............says a bunch of people who are supposed to be working but instead are reading a pedal forum

 

[jimilee]

Bwahahahahah. I work from home a couple of days a week. I may or may not be working on pedals during this time.

 

[jeffwhitfield]

I think we need to start a hashtag. Maybe something like #JustOneMore?

Prove it!

 

[djmiyta]

Prove it!

Kidding. I know you can’t .

I got me a PLL, a string ringer, an inchdown redux, and a Cosmo king in the works from them at the moment.

The Cosmo King I'm real excited for...had to mill out a little bit of an older usa crybaby enclosure to get it to fit. Makes for a tight build.

 

[zgrav]

DeadEndFX.
Would you like a LARGE enclosure for that pedal build? Or an EXTRA-LARGE?
I am glad that the site focuses on some rare pedals, but I would like it if there were more boards that would fit a 125B enclosure.

DeadEndFX has some pretty cool stuff to build, their image gallery is awesome. That said when I built their Oiolosse, I found the drill temp to be lacking. The pots were measured out, but the 3pdt, jacks and led indicator were left for me to figure out. It certainly wasn’t impossible with some blue tape, a pencil and a ruler. I suppose I was just use to being spoiled by PedalPCB’s drill temps. Thought it was worth mentioning.

I try not to look, but the temptation…
