Spent an hour debugging.

Swore at myself when I realised what the problem was (after packing up the tools.)

Ultrastoner muff (with mid scoop knob), into a De Profundis delay (with tone brought out to the front panel), into a stock Stage Fright (more compact than a Doppelganger), finished off with a Tenebrion reverb (my favourite.)

Spent an hour debugging it -- the only problem with it was that I'd reversed the tip and ground connection on the output jack. That was it. Other than drilling it backwards, of course. The wiring is a bit messy because I spent an hour poking through it looking for a short to ground, before walking away from it to get some perspective (at which point it occurs to me, "I've checked EVERYTHING else, have I checked the output jack?")

Bloody good box, this.

Figgured I'd do something. I'm sure IB or Kris could do better.

Who has phase? This guy does!

Now with added Prophecysound Infinitphase. Very cool dude, has the schematic shared along with the manual on his company's website.

It works! The insane board count is chiefly to get around Eagle's size limitation. I need to socket the LDR's and replace them with a matching set -- there is a noticeable dip in the sweep, midway. Either that or I need more bench time with my oscilloscope to tune the LFO in. The 4/8 switch is wired in, but the fast/slow switch is not, yet.

Night shot: (the rate was fast enough that the camera caught several pots during the travel....) bottom lights are the lit up pots, top constellation is the phase engine board.

The sweeping, lit up pots are very sexy. It can go from either LFO square or triangle (or sawtooth, with the Symmetry control), to a sequence of your OWN design!

Smallbear, they have all kinds of neat toys! The light up pots were also from them.

:shock: :oh:
wow, you've been busy dude, cant wait to catch up and try out some of these...
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Another Lovetone Meatball clone -- their envelope filter of a thousand options (and effects loop, and decay expression jack, and intensity expression jack (which works well for wah sounds)... Lovetone never did anything by halves.)

Another Kev77 enclosure, Hammond 1590XX. He does really good paint, but this is one of his last ones (I think he's getting out of it.)

Does the good old Meatball thing, including settings that do nothing if you set it up wrongly.
