I ain't touchin' that one, with a ten foot barge pole! 

[deadastronaut]

^ now now, your just jealous....


@mustachio: have you the 'updated' schematic for your micro v  ?...i just ordered a couple of lm13700n's..

i'd like to bread it and have a tinker...

cheers!.

[Mustachio]

I need to Draw up a new schematic, was working fast to finish and worked basically off the original schematic and in my head. But the layout is all correct that I posted. Gonna draw it up and posted it in a new thread soon. Hopefully I can get the pics and all build docs posted with out the compression photobucket is doing now.

going to be putting this back on the breadboard and trying to get it working with 2 or 3 LM13700's soon will post all that info as well.

In the mean time I sent you a pm rob with all the info on what you need to change from the original schematic to put it on the breadboard.

Oh also when I was testing transistors in the pedal I was taking them out and using the hfe test on my super cheap mm and the ones I ended up using for my build where these.

Q1-2n5089 Hfe 104
Q2-2n5089 Hfe 106
Q3-2N3906 Hfe 80 (original used a 2n5087)

I ordered some 2n5087's because I didn't have any on hand but didn't end up using any or even testing them because I was running out of time. The Hfe on the transistors I picked where all lower then most I tested. To my ear they sounded better then the ones with higher Hfe. I tested about 30-40 diff transistors most of em where 2n3904's 2n2222a bc109 2n3906 2n5089 2n5088 2n4401

Congrats to all the winners! This was a great contest it was lots of fun watching all the different effects that were submitted.

My build list now includes an OTA Mark V and Folie a Deux at the very least.

While the XP All is a great prize the framed "Sweet Sausage" photo is a true art lover/collectors item.
One that is surely to increase astronomically in value to auction status over time. 

[deadastronaut]

^ indeed, a true collectors item...very rare!..

[pakrat]

The "Sweet Sausage" pic will increase ASTRONAUT-omically in value.... ok, that was bad!
Guys, I am truly honored to have placed in this competition!! With so many incredible builds submitted, I'm still in a bit of shock.
Many thanks to Greg, Jimi, digi2t, and Aron for running such a great contest and for the amazing generosity in donating the prizes. You guys are true gentlemen, and it was an honor and a pleasure to take part in this. I am already looking forward to the next one.
There are so many great prizes, but I think the Colorsound Vocalizer is calling my name, so that will be my choice 
Congrats to all of the winners! This was definitely a fierce competition that brought out the best in everyone. With so many great projects here, I'll surely be busy over the next few years trying to build them all.
Thanks again everyone, this was a blast!

P.S. Rob, do you think as runner up I could get a non framed version of the Sweet Sausage pic?

[samhay]

A big congratulations to all the winners - well earned.
I had a lot of fun watching it unfold (and soldering at 2am for that matter) and am now a little daunted by my rather inflated to-build list. Not sure how many of the circuits I will be able to fit in a 1590A, but I will keep you posted.

[pinkjimiphoton]

You don't want the XP
No-one wants the XP
The mere thought of the XP makes you sick
You will listen to Mike and chose the vocalizer.



   

[pinkjimiphoton]

Well thinking about it a bit more. I don't have the money or equipment to make an XP all but I think I have all the parts on hand to build a vocalizer. Which I will have to have a vocalizer at some point, cause that pedal sounds amazing! I love the vowel sounds. Its on my list to make something like that or the ludwig.

So I think I will choose the XP All!

Thanks for the compliment digi! I can't lie Ive watched nearly all of yours and jimi's videos on youtube and I've learned a few really cool licks from you guys. I'd hear something you guys played and had to rewind a few times, pick up a guitar and learn it! you guys really smoke on the frets! Just the type of music I love!

Sorry Mike gonna have to take the XP off the table.

I was really not sure what to pick after watching videos of digi and jimi demo the xp all and the vocalizer. They both have merit to something I'd enjoy using often.

Well thanks again for everything guys this was tons of fun and still shocking I won! I still can't believe it!

jim,
you have chosen well. the xp all is an amazing tool, that i think you will find well-suited to your style.
vocalizers are hip...but dino's talkalyzer is hipper!!

congratulations my friend!

the "stupid pedal tricks" pedal is actually a custom silicon/ge/fet fuzzface called the "sterno face", it's got a few gigs under it's belt now, so it's well-housebroken.
