Let's see your finished DIY projects!

They're really simple to build! Heres the basic layout:

Increasing the value of the #5 cap tweaks the pitch of the unit!

Could've sworn I posted this here the other day. Oh well.

Someone posted it somewhere around here, but I can't remember where.

Did you originally have the jacks top-mounted and move them to the side?....

Yep. Gotta fill those glory holes with something.

Either way, I'd love one of those!

I'd love to give you details, but I'd hate to come off like I was trying to sell something.

Noooo!!! Put them back to top mounted! Saves so much space.

and PM with if you have one available!

I moved them because I drilled before I had finalized the layout. With better planning, it would be trivial to have top-mount jacks.


I don't generally build pedals to sell to people. But in about three weeks, there are going to be 20 or so guys with these PCBs, so I'm sure you could find someone to build you one.

I guess I should clarify that the Neptune is not a pedal, per se. It's a circuit/project for people to build themselves.

Check this thread if you want to see the development of it:

The schematic is there for anyone who wants to make their own layout. I'm just getting some boards made because guys asked for it. This is an open-source kind of thing.


I have a reverb project that's just about done as well. It uses the new smaller Belton brick. That in a box with the Neptune would be a pretty sweet combo.

Yep. I've used Tayda's LDRs in several projects. I have measured quite a few, and they typically have a light resistance of about 500R and a dark resistance of close to 5M.

Very cool, thank you sir!

[culturejam]

Not that you need a PCB for doing a simple passive A/B switcher, but I figured what the hell.

[behndy]

soooooo.... i need a tiny 2 in/out patchbay or relay box. the input on my board is in a NOT safe to plug into place, i'd like to run a right angle from that underneath the board to a safer access point. same with the main output.

would any of you fine gentlemen and/or gentleladies be into that?

murrrrrrr?

thanksie in advance!

[behndy]

annnnnnnnd never mind. have a bud that has one that he's not using. OOP.

Newest build. Been in the works for a while. Felt like getting ridiculous. Looks like a standard Civil War spec muff on the outside:



But then you open it up and BAM. ORANGE DROP CAPS EVERYWHERE. Put a break out board in there so I could fit all the caps snugly. Perfect fit. A/B'd it to my original Civil War/Tall Font and this one sounds a little less nasal, but almost as good!

[moose23]

That's ludicrous.

[skullservant]

hahahahaha yeah. That's what I was going for hahahah. It weighs a pretty penny too hahah

Procrastinated last night and made this instead of doing homework. It's an optical theremin that runs off a single 555 chip. I added a switch to drop the octave, as well as a power starve trim pot. It's amazingly simple but sounds great

Whoa. WANT.

What board did you use?
