What's on the workbench?

[Preverb]

That’s kind of confusing. The Vibe in Vibe/Chorus is actually Vibrato and the Chorus is actually the classic Univibe sound.

I’m not typically a fan of the Vibrato sound but since I increased the speed on my full size ElectroVibe it got way better.

Also, Vibrato gets better at more, for lack of a better term, intense Intensity settings. Which stinks because if you have the pedal biased for great Chorus (UniVibe) it is typically too weak for a good Vibrato sound.

I’ve got a little breakout board in the works to make the gain and offset trim pots controllable externally.

Ah that makes sense. I am not that familiar with these besides the few times I used one in Helix. I remember someone mentioned that the non-Vibe mode wasn't that great so that must of referred to the vibrato. I will probably have a dedicated tremolo pedal so maybe my original idea of deleting the switch would still apply. I am just planning out possible pedals I will want (and wasting hours on Illustrator having the designs pre-made). I am thinking of ordering several pcbs and just having them shipped to a relative's house in Canada since shipping to Australia takes so long.

You could try this if you are up to it!
They will be Opposite Rotation !!!
They just mount on the opposite side of the board :

Not a bad idea. I was thinking of a breakout board and these:

I could just move the switch over. I’m not 100% settled on it yet but I definitely want Gain and Offset easily adjustable for tuning the Vibrato side on the fly. I’ve really started to enjoy the Vibrato side.

What are the part numbers for these, and where can I get 'em!?

I’ve seen them referred to as a ‘breadboard trimmer’ or as a trimpot with knob.

This is the only site I see with the long-shaft knob: https://solarbotics.com/product/rt10k-t/

The regular height breadboard trimmers can be found on Sparkfun, as well as Mouser and Amazon

Any update on the revised Nugget Fuzz/NG-3 trace?

Quite interesting! A fully-parametric 3 band in a 125B??? That’s quite impressive— sure to make it to my small acoustic board! Will it be using concentric pots for frequency and Q to reduce the overall footprint from 10 knob-spots to 7, or will it use a mini pot config like the WMD utility parametric?

Coincidentally the control layout looks quite similar to the Utility Parametric EQ (although the rows are arranged differently), and I've never seen that one before just now.

Current mockup, but subject to change so don't start drilling just yet.

Coincidentally, I had never seen the Utility Parametric before until I saw the Paraphrase in the ‘New’ section and looked up to see if there were ever any other 3 band fully parametrics in an enclosure smaller than a BB

Damn!!

^Nice Xmas prezzie there ^!
Needs a closer inspection me thinks....

How's the Raincoat sound through it?

I was just thinking about the Raincoat yesterday - mainly that it could be a good home for Ge transistors.

It was meant to be. The 3-band parametric EQ lets you shape the Raincoat in all sorts of ways that a simple Tone control just can't offer....

But then I hit the octave footswitch.... and oh man. Not only do you get the Superfuzz-like octave up, but I was really surprised to hear the octave down effect similar to the Jordan Bosstone when you hit the right notes.

It really takes the circuit to the next level, seriously.

I was hoping you'd say that. I've got the rig ordered, but it wont ship until the amp (oh yes he did) is stocked.

What amp?
