Has anyone here heard of the Lovetone Wobulator?

Just missing a 12VAC adaptor, plus the case for the Schumann PLL clone.

I think I'm going to call it "Dr Mayhem and the Electric Teeth".

Deep Blue Delay, using the MB Sea Urchin schematic, on a board of my own design :) (Shotglass is for scale.)

Yes, another reverb.

I wound up doing a fair bit of fix-it, patch-up wiring on the back :( but it works now :) Once I got the board working, it was the easiest build I've done yet in terms of boxing it up, since the stomp was already in the circuit -- just wire the jacks and power!

This is a Chasm Reverb, designed by Dead Astronaut. His original layout is on perf, with LOTS of flying wires. I'm allergic to them.

Boxed up that delay.

Copy of the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay, using Madbean's Sea Urchin schematic. Sounds a lot cleaner than the Cavedweller delay.

I've got one of those (clone of the Deep Blue Delay)- do you notice a significant low frequency drop (like turning down the bass) when you engage it?

Nowhere near as much as the cavedweller has (that one is lo-fi), but there is a bit of frequency shaping. It's part of the price you pay for using the PT2399, and not a BBD chip.

Still waiting on the boards from OSH. I hope that the MarkusW schematic is correct, because it's the ONLY lead I have on this pedal.

Kev, this is what I'm up to so far.

Need to order parts. Don't know if it works, yet.

I'd be really interested to see how that turns out, rock on.

Nice, I can only begin to imagine the sonic mayhem that will create and I have trouble saying the name on the board also. That project looks way to hard for at my stage of development. Look forward to another clip when completed.

Got a FV500H from a forumite today (thanks!), and it works a treat with the Doppelganger. The sweep is a lot bigger with it (with the Out jack, not the exp), and it can go from fast i.i.i.i to slow i........i........i........i (and I mean really slow.) Great stuff :)

Also got the Tremopanation going. Still have to box it. (Hell, still have to order an enclosure.)
