In more December-related news, Slampegg X now has Ultra Hi and Ultra Lo switches.

 

[Kelly robinson]

I’m curious as to the thinking behind adding the ultra high switch to the new version ? Won’t that lead to the potential for more noise from the pedal ? Maybe it’s my hearing preferences or my aging ears but I rarely find myself increasing any really high frequencies on any pedal . Usually , if anything I am dropping the treble level but maybe that is simply how I tend to want to sound - hence the question .... Kelly

Those highs come in handy in a mix for me. I don’t like it at home but it can save the day live.

I had actually gotten rid of the switch, but current owners that have the 3-switch version said they really like the switch options. If I understand correctly the original B-15N didn't have them, but later models did.

So back to the topic of milling:

I AM THE SUPREME IDIOT, LORD OF ALL THE IDIOTS.

So my CNC is Chinese, which means the quality is great but the documentation is lacking, and I just found out MY SPINDLE IS WIRED BACKWARDS. I've been forcing it to cut aluminum while spinning the wrong way. The spindle driver has a button to switch direction, and surprise, when the spindle is going the right way it cuts WAY better. CNC problems 100% solved.

Oh I am using a better quality bit and cutting fluid now, obviously that helps too.

Does that mean you'll revisit how many enclosures you can do at once, and how fast you can mill them?

Well frankly even going slow enough to accommodate a backwards spindle I can still go a lot faster than before, so I think the CNC can handle 40 enclosures a month. The UV printer takes all of 5 minutes to print an enclosure (partially due to my minimalist artwork), I can populate a circuit board in 10-30 minutes (depending on the circuit), and final assembly takes about 20-30 minutes per pedal. Really the bottleneck right now is powdercoating, I think I am going to need to talk to my wife about getting a bigger oven so I don't have to wait forever just to cure 2 pedals at a time.

oh my gawd. as a carpenter the hand power tool equivalent has happened to me and it's taken far too long to notice. It's happened to everyone else experienced I know. I feel your pain

Glad to hear there's an easy fix!!

Oh Dear!! LMAO
I actually think you should have kept that to yourself and said you sorted it out with your new End Mill or whatever!!
I am surprised it cut anything at all!!! That has made my day.

hilarious. We’ve all been there though...

I mean the way pre-ordering has been going it's basically like a Kickstarter Everyone has pledged a certain amount in exchange for a perk (pedal) and I have all this money lying around. But despite this being unarguably "pedal money" I still need permission from my wife to spend it

sounds like the behavior of a considerate husband

It's easier to seek forgiveness than permission... Just saying!!

I’ve finally spent some time with the Echosaurus. What a fantastic delay pedal! My past delays have been the DD-7, DD-20, DD-500, El Cap and ARP-87. Not the most extensive list but I have a little experience with them.

First off, I have got to say I purchased this because I needed a delay and I thought it looked freaking sweet with the switches and all! Oh boy, has it delivered! I was a little reluctant because I’ve always had a tap tempo but since receiving it that hasn’t mattered at all.

The Echosaurus has all of the controls you need, in my opinion. The controls are Speed, Swell, Age, Level and Mix. Obviously, the Speed knob controls the speed of the delay. Turning the speed knob while playing can speed up and slow down a note or chord, which can be cool. The Swell knob controls the feedback / number of repeats. The Age knob starts at new tape fully counter-clockwise and gets older as you turn it clockwise. I like the Age knob a little old so 2-3 o’clock really gives me that warm, less in your face repeat. The Volume and Mix knobs are self explanatory.

And now, the head switches. There’s a lot of fun at the flick of a switch! I’ve never messed with heads in the past and now I’m hooked. There are so many different combinations and it’s straight-up awesome!

Finally, the sound is crisp and clear while being dead quiet.

I highly recommend!

I’ve finally spent some time with the Echosaurus. What a fantastic analog delay pedal! Granted, this is the only analog delay I’ve owned. My past delays have been the DD-7, DD-20, DD-500, El Cap and ARP-87. Not the most extensive list but I have a little experience with them.

Nice review!

One thing - digital, isn't it?

Yes. I was confusing digital with tap tempo. Sorry about that. Fixed (my original) post.

 

[revd]

Yes. I’m confusing digital and tap tempo. Sorry about that.

No worries, all good.

I've got a LU for March but as I already have a pre, I'm always looking at the non-preamps to finalise what pedal to get.

Nice words. I was just thinking about this today during some other shenanigans.

This is the 2000th post in this thread Tonight I've been working on getting UV print files together for everything, and since the UV ink doesn't adhere very well to bare metal I can do test prints to check alignment then wipe them off before powdercoating. Looks pretty good so far
