What's on the workbench?

[Big Monk]

My foot would knock it off. Build a proper mistress already. Get a madbean current love and do it right!

I did just buy a gang of chorus and flanger chips....

 

[Big Monk]

This is diy not do half assed

Does the Current Lover have a mix/blend knob?

 

[Robert]

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.

 

[Big Monk]

It shouldn't be hard to add one. Find where the mixing point is and use a pot as a voltage divider

I'ma wait for the 'lectric Mama Boneyard Edition (I'm talking to you @Chuck D. Bones)

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!

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.

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

Absolutely.

 

[Big Monk]

Absolutely.

Aw yeah. Just re-upped on bulbs and LDRs from Digikey.

Me too! I’m totally stoked for this one. As soon as I get the email that it’s in stock, I’m buying it!

In case it's not obvious (and it will be noted in the build docs), both of these stacked projects will both require low-profile 7mm height electrolytic capacitors.

I'm planning to have those available by the time the PCBs are here.

You are inside my head Dude! I was going to forego the faceplate so I could have the Univibe font for the Electrovibe text!

You are the Boss!

 

[Robert]

The first run of faceplates for the full-size ElectroVibe had the text on them but I didn't think it looked great so I removed it.

The Mini would just be too bare without it.

Looking good! Also, thanks for doing the extra on the low-heel caps. Almost feels like cheating, but then again I drill my own enclosures

 

[Robert]

The prototype for the flanger was designed so regular sized caps could be laid down on their sides (similar to the VIIB project), but this wasn't possible with the upper board for the EV Mini...

Since I'm planning several more stacked projects in the near future (and a few redesigns of existing projects) I figured it was best to just go ahead and rip off the band-aid and start using the low-profile caps now.
