Gnomeratron VTF - a nasty muff with blend: prototype review

I'd prefer no battery clip and would prefer the external clip should I ever need to use a battery. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the adapters that come with the OneSpot will work with a 9V. Not sure if it would be center + or center -. I'll give it a try with a crap pedal. Time to buy an ODB-3. Heh.

Oh... oh yeah?! Well I'm going to add digital circuitry that will only allow the pedal to turn on when connected to one of my supplies.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Srsly, though, it's just gonna have a standard center negative jack.

I realized yesterday that when the pedal is oscillating really hard (in some insane, unusable settings), the pedal will have some bleed through when bypassed even with a traditional grounded input bypass. So, what I'm going to do is make the ground hit somewhere in the middle of the fuzz circuit to stop oscillation, and add shielded wires between the jacks to prevent bleed through. That should solve any issues.

In normal settings, I wasn't getting bleed through even without the grounded input.

In terms of production, I'm totally making an -awesome- drilling template out of a USPS flat rate box and epoxy resin.

So, hey, good news! Officially ordering parts today. Epoxy should arrive today as well, so I can really get to work.

So, those with low-ish numbers on the list, the wait is almost over!

I'll be sending out a mass PM to everyone on board in a bit with more info. If you don't get a PM and you should, please let me know.

I'll be trying to take a lot of photos too, so you guys can see the progress. ^_^

-edit-

In respect to forum rules, I'm going to bow out of this thread except to answer questions. Photo updates will be on the McSpuncklefx flickr profile.

McSpunckle - Where does #21 fall on the wait? I will be shooting you funds tonight or tomorrow, after I sit down and do some reading to see where I want to go with diodes and such.

I'm hoping to build at a rate of 2 pedals a day once parts arrive-- I'm hoping no more than a week on parts.

So, a week + 11 days is a rough estimate of shipping date for yours. I expect some form of small setback, though. There always is, it seems.

Payment sent. I very much like the idea of the socketed diodes. The quest for the "perfect" diode is a lot cheaper than looking for the perfect tube.

I can't wait to play this pedal! Thanks for all the updates!
