These came in today from JLCPCB. I drew up a Rat with a bunch of the mods and thought I’d see how it sounds. Also trying the Dinosaural TB ti see if it ends up sounding anything like Robert’s or Aion’s.

 

[jimilee]

Yeah, it seems to be all good. You can’t use it independently so I don’t know what it sounds like on its own but it’s got lots of gain and it drives the wah really well. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a Hyperion type thing. It really cuts through and accentuates my already very high gain signal. No hiss or noise even when cranked.

I have the bass wah with the auto return feature, it’s really a nice feature.

Wah should be like accelerating a car. I could never get behind starting and stopping at the highest peak with the weird switch sensitivities.

Unexpected Sunday evening delivery of some pretty patch cables.

Linkypoo 'cause someone will want to know.

All tested, working well.

EDIT: Yes it's Sunday evening here.

Man, those are cheap! Can’t even buy the cable for that to make your own.

Cheers @szukalski! Already predict this to be the best “gift basket” I’ve ever purchased!

Glad it got through eventually. Apparently German post doesn’t do international delivery unless it’s a proper package..

A bunch of self adhesive white and clear A4 paper turned up tonight. Fingers crossed I should be able to get a pour done tomorrow night and then 5 pedals will be ready in about a week.

Is that like water slide decals?

I always hated chorus until I built a Madbean Pork Barrel in 2014. Had it on my board until I built a Julia clone last year. But I never used some of the features the Julia offers (anyone really hearing a difference in the waveform switch?) and I basically always set it to sound like a stock CE-2 anyway so when this pretty much brand new Boss CE-2w came up locally I couldn't say no.

No it's basically white and clear self adhesive glossy photo paper. You print your decal, pull off the backing like a sticker and stick it onto your enclosure. Then pour envirotex over the top. There's no mucking about with water but you have to be careful about placement cause you only really get one go.

I gotta look that up, thank you.

I've got the ones with matt white background and they work pretty well. Basically a sticker, for home use I wouldn't bother with envirotex. They are pretty convenient because you just print and apply. I haven't tried it on raw enclosures though, the adhesion may be less than perfect.

Here's an example:

[PedalPCB] Marigold Fuzz

There have been a number of build reports on this fuzz which pushed it up the build list for me. Sound wise, it does not disappoint, I used a bog-standard Russian PNP Germanium transistor, and I found the OA172 to be the more pleasing diode for my ears so stuck with that one. Read what others...

They stick fine on raw Enclosures but I always cover them in resin. I wouldn't think they'd stand up very well on their own. Plus the envirotex makes them practically bullet proof and really makes the colours pop. I'll take some before and after pics when I do a pour tonight.

They work really well. I use white, clear plus gold and silver foil.

I am curious about the epoxy pouring process for pedals. Maybe snap some pics of the process if you remember.

Sure no problem

Decided to start collecting the Red Witch Seven Sisters ... had the Violet delay once upon a time and regretted parting with it ever since ... the concept is solid, micro pedals with minimal controls that run off rechargeable batteries. This one looks like YATS inside ...
