Eqd Sea Machine clone
Freshly boxed this morning. It's made from the Seahorse pdb from pedalpcb. The board is a bit of a beast with a lot of components and 3 ic chips that all have to fit in this little box. It's a tight squeeze but it's in there and it all works.
It's an interesting pedal. Sort of chorus, whammy, synth, vibe, with some slapback if you want. There's the traditional wobbly chorus for your Nirvana intros right up to i-have-no-use-for-this territory. Chorus sounds great after fuzz though.
Top mounted stuff is cool and the led correlates to the rate and shape knobs which is a nice touch.

Re: Eqd Sea Machine clone
This one is the exact circuit of the v1 sea machine so any demo of that will sound like this. The only difference is they use a momentary switch and I don't.Kris wrote:cool! i have a pepers clone that i guess is pretty similar-any samples? i think mine needs looking at as it doesnt sound the way it should last time i plugged it in haha
Pepers stuff is solid, I just find the artwork a little uninspired. He's great with repairs though so if your pedal isn't playing ball, give him a buzz. I understand his version of the sea machine has mods, but I don't know what they are.

Re: Eqd Sea Machine clone
yeah ive hit him up but he's had a big year and taking a well deserved break.I hear ya on the art but sometimes you cant be good at everything in a one man show.I send him my own,which is the easiest way to be 100% happy.Not so good for resale though.

It's probably my favourite thing about pedal building, doing your own artwork.chur wrote:Cool artwork. Something I must get around to improving on with my builds.
Here's a pedal I finished this morning.

Re: Eqd Sea Machine clone
Lucky, usually by the time I've done the board and test, I'm gagging to get it in a box and call it done. Doesn't help I'm not very arty. Wanted to try waterslides but the youtube vids made it look a nudge painful.NippleWrestler wrote: It's probably my favourite thing about pedal building, doing your own artwork.
No one ever died of hard work.. but why take the risk..

Tremolo looks great! I'm with Chur, enclosure finishing takes time and patience... It's the least fun part for me

Re: Eqd Sea Machine clone
Its a lot easier than circuits that's for sure. I just use masking tape and acrylics then clear enamel over the top. I guess those years painting games workshop miniatures paid off.Cdog wrote:Tremolo looks great! I'm with Chur, enclosure finishing takes time and patience... It's the least fun part for me
