You can thank @music6000, he found the pedal in a music-go-round store near me, it's a great pedal if you don't need tons of gain
What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

4 but close. 50 knobs, some footswitches, some pots etc. It was 300 Canadian, mind you haha. I’m close to Gorva so it’s a day later it drops at my door so that’s a plus!

The Schalltechnik_04 was finally ordered after a few years hankering, and Monday finally arrived: a Deelüxe GK and a HPF/LPF Fong Vilterung.
No schematics — so the tracing has already begun, making my own damn schematic on DIYLC (should probably practice on my Eagle).
Today, just arrived, the sale ELS (Effects Layouts Storyboardist) boards arrived (upper left red) with the MadBean supersale stuff (PCB stack in a bag right).
PPCB's latest offerings probably still a week or so out.
Now, more parts ordering is needed...
PS: Aion sale stuff pending too...

Not in the mailbox since the show isn’t until April, but I just grabbed tickets to see Melody’s Echo Chamber in Brooklyn! Been eagerly waiting to see Melody ever since her last scheduled Brooklyn show was canceled 6 1/2 years ago after her big accident. In high school my best friend and I were supposed to go see her. For years she (my friend) ran the only unofficial fan page on Facebook, and I’ve been the admin ever since she deleted her FB profile, so needless to say I’m a big fan. I was never able to see any of Melody’s earlier shows in the NY/Tri-State area since I was in middle school and had no way of getting to them, so this’ll be my first time seeing Melody live in concert! It’s been a decade of anticipation…

Two things.
The schematic for the GK is at https://schalltechnik04.de/de/anleitungen/growling-krizzly/deluxe/10. I couldn't find one for the Fong Vilterung.
And according to his site, Schalltechnik_04 is ceasing to offer commercial kits as of Sept 1st. Translated from the site:
As of September 1st, 2022 I have decided not to offer any more commercial kits. I am very grateful for the last seven years. Thanks for the support! I learned a lot and will always look back on the time with a smile. This website will remain online for documentation purposes. A small update is also planned for the future to ensure repairability. I can still be reached by email (contact form). (Musikding is still offering the last remaining parts. After that there will be no replenishment!)

Sum bitch, you got one of the last ones of both the Deluxe GK (Basic version still available, which uses the same PCB aka heads up @jimilee) and Vong Filterung. They are both now out of stock. Luckily I got my GK a while ago, but I should have hopped on the Filterung.

A few things arrived, the main one being a PRS SE Hollowbody II:
I'd been gassing for a hollow/semi-hollow for a while, and there was a discount on the colour because this particular finish is EoL. Out of the box, the ebony board was as dry as a "Phrasing" joke and it took a few passes of F-One oil. There's a little fret dressing needed up top, 2-step bends are bottoming out, but apart from that she plays like a dream.
It has a great matched top and back, pretty impressed compared to some non-matching from larger brands built state-side.
Highlight has to be the pickups, really well balanced and they clean up all the way down to zero. I can pair it with a gainy combo (ie. Duocast into Honey Beest) and go from clean to roar with a volume knob. Neck is not muddy, and bridge is not ice-picky. I can't see them being changed.

Damn I'd love one of those. Especially if they'd do a goldtop or black top with natural back and sides.

I would be all over a goldtop.

THANKS!
You've just saved me a ton of work, as I'm probably a little slower at tracing than Robert. Also, good thing I started tracing the Vong Filterung first!
I saw that Schalltechnik_04 was ceasing operations — kicking myself for not getting a few other things from Lazarus_04 — mainly the Pumpernickel but also the mini-Vongs and Omnilooper.
So when I saw MusikDing had the GK back in stock (either version would do, as you pointed out they share the same PCB) and the VF, I jumped on them. Those two have been in/out of stock ever since they were introduced, but I've only ever seen MusikDing have one sale and that was years ago.
Pity about Lazarus_04 shutting down Schalltechnik_04, I'd hoped MusikDing'd continue offering the projects on behalf of...

I am kicking myself on the Pumpernickel, Omnilooper, and VF. The LP mini is still available and I wonder if you could build the HP with it, as the layout is the same. Somehow I feel like not, because the components would probably be in a different order to filter the other way.THANKS!

I was thinking about contacting Julian and seeing if the schematics could be passed on to the DIY community. Or maybe even the PCB design files. Worst case, he says no and I try to take his instruction block diagrams and piece things together.

I keep mine at arms reach of my computer, it's a S2 but I doubt you could tell the difference between them
Edit: Well mine has one F-Hole rather than two, but other than that
