[rutabaga bob]

Cool!  Can't wait to see it!

[BoogiemanX]

Any sounds clips?

[deadastronaut]

it should be roughly the same as this demo.

will dig it out later and test again...

[mboratto]

Is there a way to take off the original tone knob? i am interested on experiment a baxandall on it. Oh forget! I´ve seen you did a lot more on V12!

[deadastronaut]

well i finally got around to it, 

ordered up the boards for the ''SAPPHIRE'' (which i just saw a pedal called sapphire drive) so that'll change  ....anyway..



cant wait to get this off my breadboards and built...awesome distortion

3 switches for different EQ / tones..

active EQ/BMT..

ive been playing it through the clean channel of my marshall AVT275

and its pretty damn good!!!  modern/vintage/ and a nice open overdrive too...

very versatile...



now to plan out my box etch while i wait...

[stringsthings]

Looking good.  I'm finally getting around to building my faze filter.  Started doing some enclosure etches
and made a nice reverse etch for the "fazex".

[deadastronaut]

got my 'black' pcb's in....they look gorgeous in black n silver..very cool.

awesome.....soldering iron out...

[slashandburn]

Still adore this pedal.  I've just had a fairly short lived Sonic Titan phase but I'm looking forward to getting to play around with the spirfire again since i left the bugger at rehearsal and havent had it around.

I'm also now looking back and forward between a box i just etched for a Dr Boogie, and your v8 schematic and thinking something subconcious must have been going on. Art work is by an Austrian dude called Peter Kramer, I just added the skull.  Mad.   



Besides that pesky "presence" control (actually, its barely legibly, should be easy enough to obscure) this box seems (unintentionally) almost tailor made for me to make that spare Spitfire I've been after!

As an aside, and I'm probably just being dim here, but people are talking your V12,  I can only seem to find your v8. No big deal.  The v3 was great.  Was there one that suited low tunings better or did I imagine that?

[deadastronaut]

Hi man, the v12 is coming soon....just a few final tweaks...

it will be a 6 pot,  1 toggle pedal.....

love the etch...

[duck_arse]

it will be a 6 pot,  1 toggle pedal.....

.... 32 pages .... and a led.

[stallik]

And an etch

[deadastronaut]

you bstds..i'm too embarrassed to even start a new thread nowadays...

i'm being persecuted....

i'm telling aron, na nah na nah nah.......he'll give you a good telling off   

[slashandburn]

I really hope you don't surf (comets?). That would be seriously creepy.  Would make me seriously creepy, at least.  The 6th pot doesn't happen to be a presence control by any chance?

Looking forward to playing with it whenever you have it done anyway. I'm sensing some mild impatience regarding the dev. of this pedal so I'll shut up now and let you get on with it.

As an aside. "6 Pots, One Toggle" sounds like the name of one of those viral videos you're always going to wish you hadn't watched.   

[deadastronaut]

nope not a pres....

more of a 'voice hi/lo.....could be interpreted as that if you like..

[slashandburn]

Ah no worries.  I'll tell people it says "prosence" and then mumble something about it being highly technical and hard to explain.

[deadastronaut]

yep, that should work...

We love ya really, Rob.   

It's just that some of us old folks need a nap part-way through your (invariably very interesting) project threads.   

[deadastronaut]

Haha i know......me too..

I forgot my reading glasses at home but if feels like I would agree with you if I could read the text.

hi guys, happy new year,

ive decided to buy a small Kustom KGA10FX amp, so i can test using my marshall

and a small amp, i just got one for 20 quid..bargain . should arrive by friday hopefully,

ive still got my project on breadboard, (after a year or so )and have designed a pcb for it, i just want to test

a little more in both amps for 'ear' reference purposes...

should be good,

5 pots, 2 switches, 

gain, bass, mid, treb, vol  /  modern/classic  ,   and added ass/sym clipping switch

i added the clipping to the fet drive as it has a nice compression, which is very cool
for recording etc, and adds a little bite too....its rather nice.

back soon.
