Gnomeratron VTF - a nasty muff with blend: prototype review

[McSpunckle]

I'm doing a photo blog, if anyone is interested in the build process. It so far isn't covering the circuit board assembly or finishing, but it shows what goes into these pedals and just how they're put together.

Great pics!

This pedal is such a work of art. Very impressive!

Hey,. that post made a lot of sense (#297). It cleared things up for me more on the functionality of the pedal. I have to read that and the other post again but I will actually be doing more than just noodling until I find something cool now. Nice!

I often am confused at how the wiring and diodes function when I look inside a box, but man, that's some tight, clean, solid looking work there McSpunckle!

Nice! Definitely getting very excited for this pedal to be in my hands!

I'll send my info again in a little bit.

Oh! You know, I don't think I've seen it posted in this thread, and I don't recall anybody asking... what are the phyical dimensions on this pedal? How big will our Gnomes be?

I believe it's housed in a Hammond 1590BBRD - so, like, the size of a Devi Ever Shoegazer (or similar double), except horizontal. The size of a B:assmaster.

Thank jrmy. Now if I knew what size those pedals were!

Okay - off to the TB Wiki!!

D'oh! Sorry man - the Hammond site lists them as 4.7"X3.7"X1.3" - so 4.7 wide, 3.7 tall, and 1.3 deep. Or something like that.

Dude! No worries, I searched around, found my way! I ain't scared of no search function!!

Thanks a lot. Not too bad a size. Especially for all that fuzzy gnome action being stuffed in there!

Ok, I'm going to stop reading this thread since I'm in the second batch and when the first people get there pedal, they will talk about it and tell us how great it is, blah, blah, blah. It's like reading about your girlfriend on Facebook before you go out on your first date.

Heh.

Who am I kidding? I want to know all about her....

That is the same size as the smaller EHX XO pedals, like the Bass Big Muff (but not the nano size)

 

[Gus Borden]

Sure you do Snyder!

And of course, if you are second batch I'm third or fourth....

 

[Gus Borden]

And one last question for now... top jacks or side jacks?

 

[McSpunckle]

Top.

I read this yesterday when I went to the last post and was trying to figure out why the heck you were bumping this thread. Heh.
