Hey all. Been working on this project this with a bud in Dunedin for a while now. I'm off to NAMM with them next month. If it's cool with the mods, I can put a few clips in here when I get there.

Good luck in NAMM. I hear it can be hell out there what with the Agent Orange an' all that. Good luck, soldier. :salute:
Pedals look feckin' cool by the way.

If they don't like those, then they've sniffed the Klon too often

Thanks everyone! I got the phase working tonight with its extra module to bump it from 4 to 6 stage.

Not sure yet. They take a fairly different times to build; the phaser has 4x the components of the tremolo..
I'll get my build times and parts list figured out over the next week. I'm estimating between 250 for the trem and 300 for the phaser within NZ.
I should mention that the analog/audio module is socketed so can be popped out in under a min. I'm also planning to install a breadboard onto an interchangeable PCB so you can prototype your own circuits (like pt2399 and bitcrusher stuff) with the digital stuff controlling it through an opto-isolator. Then you can utilise the (up to 256) step sequencer, wave writing, envelope triggering and expression pedal on heaps of different things! Pretty excited about it tbh..

Shit the bed, these are incredible. Looks like you're doing the SMD by hand too?!
Hope NAMM goes well for you, all the best!

Cheers! Thanks everyone.
Yep. I got a stencil and put the main PCBs through the oven, but did not think to order a stencil for the smaller ones..
I've borrowed a friends camera for the evening, so a few coffees later I'll hopefully some footage to snip up.
It took a few days to figure out how to take a photo of the gold plated top without annoying reflections. It's all about the white A4 paper
