What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

I might have a new pedal coming today, I really can't tell for sure from the tracking history.

It says it's out for delivery, but it also says it's in the wrong state.... Of course I don't see how it made it 100 miles in three minutes, so we'll just have to see.

1 way round trip airlines? leaves every monday to arrive the previous friday!(Steven Wright humour, not funny but certainly "what?!?!")
Today was Digi-key, some caps, the RIGHT chips for my mini-heto(4017). I have had that seemed like crap bounced back and forth between the chicago and oak creek(milaukee 'burb) postal warehouses over a 2 hour period, something takes, unless at 3am, almost 3 hours to drive...
 
If you’re not intimidated by this, you don’t know what you’re looking at. I’m absolutely terror-stricken right now— the ultimate self-imposed intimidation tactic. I’m shaking in my boots.

That’s right lazies and gentle-hens: the Parasit order has arrived 😓

From top to bottom, L-R, we’ve got:
  • The ever-terrifying “C19 Databus Drive”
  • The nostalgic “1985 Guitar Synth”
  • The multifaceted “Multiwave Mega”
  • The undulatingly contemporary “New Wave CV generation”
  • The absolutely nuclear “U-235” suboctaver
  • The mysterious “Into the Unknown,” with which we’ll voyage to uncharted timral territories
  • The “Theremin Fuzz,” chock full of good vibrations
  • And lastly— and I could drone on for hours about these; a perfect pair of “Quantum Defrakulator MK. IIIs”
Time to, uh… buy up an entire factory’s worth of CMOS chips.

I just built a 1985, U-235, and another ItU.
The 1985 is a ton of fun, glitchy as heck, but it does that broken console thing wonderfully.
The U-235 is interesting- you can play with pick dynamics to get the balance of the clean vs octave sound, and I dig it. It tracks pretty damned clean, even with my 30" longbois
The ItU is my favorite PLL of all time, wish I had kept my previous generation builds of it.
A modified Theremin has been on one of my boards for years

Wasn't a fan of the Multiwave Mega. Sounds amazing, and has a bajillion tones, but all the momentary switches make recreating sounds kinda difficult. If it had a way to save presets and maybe a readout, I'd love it. The Lil Multiwave is bad ass, though. I love the pseudo pitch tracking ring Mod it does.
Still haven't built the C19 yet, mostly just because I can't find a suitable enclosure, and my box guy has been busy

Modified Theremin and Multiwave

This one features an 0415 and Raygun Youth running parallel with a Robot, and some other bells n whistles

Let the musical mayhem ensue. That is basically my exact Parasit wish/shopping list. I already have the Multiwave Mega, the 1985 is sold out (for now, damn it), and only one Quantum Defrakulator for me. I think I may actually go the stripboard path on a few, because "DIY".

Have fun with all 256 LEDs on the C19. So rad, but that is just sooo many.
 
I've got a rather large first order of Moonn boards coming my way. Makes me happy someone has made most of the Escobedo circuits available, and he seems to love octave fuzz as much as me.
And, I just ordered a couple hundy Brutalist and Brutalist mini knobs from LMS

I also felt this way about the multiwave mega. Lots and lots of interesting sounds but fairly impractical for live use.

Yeah, I’m a big glitch fan so the parasit stuff is all right up my alley. The Electro Faustus Guitardammerung (which is now available as the Schadenfreude PCB here) is my all time favorite PLL (it’s also a dead-simple one!) but I think the ItU may be the first thing that’ll rival it! The 1985 seems like a lot of fun for the whole glitch circus thing, and the Easter egg is too dang cool!
The demos I’ve seen of the U-235 have impressed me to no end with the tracking and timbre. I have some mods in mind for that one, including the dry kill mod that Freppo detailed in the Madbean forum. I have mods in mind for the Theremin too.

The multiwave mega seems like a pain to do all the settings and everything in, but the tones are just way too cool to pass up. I’m thinking I might do it with a toggle instead of a footswitch and just use it as an effect to run my ARP Odyssey thru.

The C19 enclosure problem seems to be a tough one, but I think I finally have a solid idea of what to do. I’m taking a sculpture class this coming semester, so hopefully the professor will let me use the hydraulic brake to form a few enclosures on the side. The plan is a folded metal console-style enclosure with walnut cheeks.
