Henretta Engineering 8 Speed - all no-knobbers in one box!!

[kevinhifi]

Just finishing this one up for my old Akron pal, Joseph Arthur. The holes in the corner will allow foot control of tremolo speed and total output volume (if you leave the booster at the end of the chain always on).

MOTHER OF GOD, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Did he pick the arangement of the effects, or can you switch them around with DIP switches/toggles on the inside?

[kevinhifi]

Thanks! He asked me to arrange them how I see fit. This is my favorite order of the effects. The tremolo into the auto-filter makes awesome throbby stuff, and the others stack best this way for my tastes.

Adding switches inside to change the order would add a spaghetti mess of wires inside, and it sorta conflicts with the "simpler is better" brand here. That being said, my longer term plan is to delve into digital control of these analog circuits in the future. That's probably a few years off though.

Ah, cool. Thanks for the clarification! I feel you about the switches. Can be super complicated, especially for 8 different effects. Great work!

That's really clean. Dig it.
