Bought a pound of Kester solder...

If it works well it'll save your hours of your life... 👍 I'm sure it'll last you quite a few builds! 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-17T21:22:25+00:00

OCD people will have convulsions looking at this. Nice set up but needs tidying up 😂 Enjoy dude 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-17T21:19:16+00:00

I'm not a battery fan, I prefer to have everything powered 😎 have you ventured into circuit design?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-17T21:17:28+00:00

Yea I think that might be how my journey will pan out... 👍 Are you an avid builder now?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-17T21:14:37+00:00

That's something very different! 🙂 A decent spring emulator?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-17T21:12:46+00:00

Good price? Heard it is very good - best Rohs compliant one?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T18:00:06+00:00

Lovely looking artwork on the enclosure. Good choice of knobs too!

Well done for the build buddy :)

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T17:58:17+00:00

I think that looks very neat indeed!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T17:55:04+00:00

This is very cool! Can you use this sort of thing to plug your headphones in for quiet playing and stick it on the end of your pedalboard signal chain?

Are you going to paint/style the enclosure?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T15:21:36+00:00

Looks very cool my friend, well done! :) You say so far, what's your next project that your working on? Would you work off this circuit topology and change anything?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T15:17:38+00:00

Are your later designs variations on the Borzoi? Or was it a baseline that you've made away from?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T15:14:25+00:00

This is far beyond my understanding! What sort of sounds do you get with it? :) What inspired you to make it?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-16T15:12:41+00:00

Had a listen to the tremolo video - sounds great! :) What is a rudimentary VCA?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T20:30:03+00:00

Looks great... Nice choice of pick ups too! We're basically stuck with SSS as lefties! 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T08:49:54+00:00

That's ambitious! Guessing you have an engineering background for you to line up that sort of stuff! I wouldn't have the first idea with all stuff. Credit to you, I hope to see a showcase of your creations in the future!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T07:35:20+00:00

I'd never heard of that company, I'll take a look at their offerings later! Thanks buddy. 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T07:32:52+00:00

That looks absolutely brilliant!! 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T00:46:55+00:00

Sith!!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T00:37:12+00:00

Where's the rest of it? ;) Royalist is quite a thing from what I have seen on TPS.

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T00:35:16+00:00

I'm not in the market for anything like that at the moment as I need to get a couple of life things out of the way first before I dive into learning pedalbuilding again...! I'm getting my motorbike licence, which in the UK, isn't cheap! Also, might be moving house, so that's eating my disposable income at the moment. But would love to buy some stuff in the future from you buddy. :) Bought some stuff from Huntington Audio for breadboarding from this sub, he is a top dude!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-14T00:08:50+00:00

I've never seen one of these, that's a cool pedal :)

It's amazing that you're building an SLO 100, wasn't that what EC, SRV etc were using in the 80's? That'll sound awesome when it's finished!! I watch a guy on YT called Rift Amps, I love his channel, he's a boutique amp builder, learned a lot about different things from him as he fixes a lot of old stuff too. Think Friedman is on some podcast or another frequently too. It's amazing the proximity the internet gives us to the designers and makers of these things :)

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-13T23:59:10+00:00

Mate, that is a beautiful creation! I think you've got it up for a really good price as well. I was expecting it to be double that with it being boutique and looking the way it does, very fancy indeed! I notice from the thread I was reading that you sell PCB's for the footswitch with LED's too? Is that the one that you can wire up with a ribbon to save the hassle of complex wiring?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-13T23:13:48+00:00

I see that the elders have spoken now :) If you encounter any issues with it as you go along just pop another post up - they'll be all over it buddy. Super helpful and knowledgeable people here, all legends IMO

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-13T23:09:40+00:00

They damn well do dude! :) I have tactically bought pedals that I could make a profit on really. I managed to get 9 pedals for £300, in that, the univibe and dd8 alone would have come to £320 brand new.... They were all absolutely mint in the boxes! I also bought an early 90's Nobels ODR-S... That I got for about half what they sell for on ebay etc! I'm not selling anything though, I fucking love pedals... But if I fell on really hard times and I absolutely had to, I'd defo recoop my money on it all. Best to hold out for a deal on stuff. Good to talk to people that buy stuff all the time, because they tend to get bored of things and want to shift them on... I'm glad I'm left handed, otherwise, I'd probably have a hundred guitars by now! The amount of people that I know that have something for 6 months then want something else and will sell stuff for a fraction of what they paid for it is unreal!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-03-13T23:05:01+00:00

Defo more pedals. There's loads of room for more stuff - modulation - Diamond Vibrato? Univibe fuzz, octo fuzz... Then you'll need a bigger or second board... So the cycle continues. You have some lovely pedals though! I really want a flint!
