5 pots and no spaghetti mess - kudos!

[bogey]

Haha , trust me there's plenty of "spaghetti mess" it's just got plenty of room to hide away under the big board.

Some crappy pictures of a Chasm Reverb I just built for a friend. Lovely-sounding circuit, and went off with far fewer hitches than I expected.

[Sensei Tim]

That reverb looks nice!

What circuit did you use for the relay switching?

[Silver Blues]

Thanks! I used the microcontroller-based one from FSB here. There's more about it in my guide too. I really like it. I had to modify it to work with the buffered bypass of the verb itself though, which is why it looks different.

Thumbs up for the chasm reverb - I struggeled with mine for months now but recently got it working after serious headache... great build!

Here's a Devi Ever Hyperion in a 3D printed enclosure (I used "transparent" red plastic) - the 90° printing pattern results in a frensel-like effect for the LED that is installed inside the box whih I think is pretty cool

[Kinski]

Mug, very cool you have access to a 3D printer. You should print some knobs!

[mug]

Well I did some, but was not really happy with the results yet...
What is really usefull are some dummy enclosures with lots of holes for pots, jacks etc. to help planning/testing component placement in the enclosure. I also use it during offboard wiring. Next time at the bench I'll shoot some pictures!

Again, don't know why they're turned around but here is a modded Angry Troll with gain pot and bass switch (output caps on switch, 3PDT with 100n, 100n and 220n) and a Green Russian Muff.

[rocket88]

Nice job man, seriously you are one talented artis. I'm surprised you shrunk the output cap.

[squirrels]

Wait... I mean I put the 100n cap on a switch. Miro suggested it and it works nicely. I found it a little too trebly for my liking so the switch can fatten up the tone a bit.

Thanks about the paint. I really like fantasy and mystic stuff so I thought Rasputin would work well for the Green Russian. I have BC549s in it as well.  I know I asked about a mid control pot but I like the scooped sound the most with the Russian. The Troll has artwork from an old Lord of The Rings poster I have. It's Gollum.

[rocket88]

That's what I thought at first. Yea the 100nF cap to ground rolls off the high end, low pass filter created with the gain control. Makes perfect sense. I was planning on doing something similar when I get around to building mine. I thought the image on the troll was familiar, and I'm a huge LOTR fan, so you definitely get bonus points on your build for that.

[squirrels]

I'd recommend it. Probably much better for bass that way too. I get 100nf, 200nf and 320nf on my switch and both lower settings sound good. I didn't test any other caps but I'm not sure you'd need to for a guitar. It sounded great with a dirty Orange and clean AC10.

[Sensei Tim]

Dual overdrive. Timmy and jus morning glory.

I found that the output wasn't high enough on the morning glory so I used a j201 instead of the 2n5457

Also almost turned into a tragedy because I drilled the hole for the power jack thru the the part of the enclosure where the screw goes . It took quite a bit of time with a dremel and a few grinder bits to make it all fit.

[ξεναγος νεκροπολης]

this is looks great Tim!
i love those different sizes of the same knob!

today i have a timmy too!


and the guts

[Chris60601]

In the process of replacing my Vero version of Box of Hall. PCB design is my own. Box is not ready due to nearly a week long rain and cooler than normal temps makes it impossible to paint in the garage.

[Sensei Tim]

Simple 3-channel mixer.  Had to shoe-horn the board in there because there was very little room after all the jacks and pots were in.

[Ravenswerld]

Hey silverblues. I'm having a hell of a time with the chasm reverb. I've built two boards still no success. Is there a secret or its this that one that everyone talks about that they couldn't get working?
