What's on the workbench?

[Robert]

One good thing though, is that you can tackle it in halves...

The LFO board will function without the upper audio board attached.

It's exactly the same circuit as the big ElectroVibe, just no speed switching.

Next one on the bench is a flanger. Won't have time to start on it today, but just got the enclosure drilled and ready to go.

Click bait

What’s the basis for this?

$5 on the ibanez fl-9, number of knobs, trimpots and ICs match up from this very pixelated zoomed in photo I've spent too long obsessing over. Although I hope I’m wrong and it’s not a 3207 based one

 

[Robert]

Not the FL-9, but I'll check that one out.

They do make great spacers for those outie jacks

Four knobs— that’s gotta mean BF-2 or MXR. Exciting!

One version of the MXR is also 2 stacked pcbs

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Gotta be the MXR on second thought. For one thing, the MXR has 3 trimmers, as does the mystery PCB, while the bf-2 has only two from what I can can see. The bf-2 also appears to have 3 dual op-amps, a pair of chips for the BBD chipset (MN3207 and MN3102), 11 transistors, and a voltage regulator. That would mean separate 5 DIP footprints and 12 transistor footprints. The PCB pictured has 5 8-pin DIP footprints, but only 8 transistor footprints.

FL-9 is doable, coincidentally this one is already pretty dang close.

I'll have to look over the two schematics later and see what's involved.

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Think there’ll be enough room to fit an intelligent relay bypass board in with that (when it’s back in stock)? Gotta have that momentary goodness

I think so (I'll check later and see for sure), but the bypass PCB will block your access to the trim pots from above so you'll have to calibrate it before assembling everything.

I can probably make some small adjustments to the relay bypass PCB to make that a non-issue.

Hearing this is honestly as good as hearing that I guessed right hahaha

Oh shit! I was wrong— it *is* a BF-2 and not an MXR! Now I’m even more excited than I was before!

[Robert]

Indeed it is. It's a lot of fun, I haven't played with one of those in years.

I turned the Rate / Depth all the way down (essentially disabling the LFO) and weirded out for a bit with the Manual / Regen controls.

It's almost identical to the FL-9 as well, so that should be an easy one to do.

 

[Robert]

Is there going to be a faceplate for the Electrovibe mini as well?

Absolutely.
