Just got my Eccodrone and B Filter. The Filter weirded me out at first, because the LED doesn't light up, but it works....I think the LED is actually a photocell for light-sensitive undulations! Cant wait to get off work and really mess with these guys.

I picked this up at the customs office yesterday:

Nice!

Anyone hear from Rhys in the last two weeks? Starting to worry that my pedlols might have gotten lost on their way here (shipped a little over 3 weeks ago).

I got my pedals fairly quickly (for Rhys) within the last two weeks. But I haven't heard from him. Last contact was June 30th. Got my pedals shipped to the states by July 14th. Asked about the Reverb on July 6th (but said 'No worries if no answer').

Ugly, I took like a month and a half for me to get my filter and on separate occasion my flanger from him.

I'm still very interested in his take on a Reverb.

In other news...more pedals are coming from Mr. Slime....I wonder...

In other other news...I got my TOM SLIME before Ugly...sorry dude...but I don't feel bad for you cause of all the Russian Madness that came your way...

It's like that scene in GODFELLAS where Tommy (or whatever his name is, I don't care) becomes a made man...

Which inspired me...

Youp. I got deslimed. He shipped another one my way and he's building a new DataPhase for me as well. I don't think he's building anything new at the moment (except for that reverb I've pushed him into making, haha). I think he's just restocking, but if you've got some inside scoop on new stuffz, share with your fellow slimefellas.

You and I need to go to reverb therapy...or just embrace it...

Today I tested the Seppuku Spacefuzz against my Diamond Skeleton Octave Drone. Can you guys confirm that the Spacefuzz is very noisy? It sounds cool, but it has a high noise floor.

I can record some quick direct in space fuzz action tonight Pepe so you can see if it matches the noise floor. I seem to remember it being pretty similar to a foxx tone machine noisewise.

One thing I have found with rhys pedals is dealing ICs can help with noise floor. He also doesn't ground his input or switches sometimes (if the input has no ground on the sleeve, try wrapping some wire around the tab and run it to the sleeve of the output jack...might help).

I know the anal synth has no input ground and my Hysteresis just had a hanging wire with a bare end that i guess was supposed to ground the case? Or just got forgot?

His jacks are usually of pretty low quality. I had to replace the anal synth jacks before I even got to play it because it wouldn't even hold a cord. (The bad ones look like open neutrik, but have black plastic isolation washers). I don't know if he uses those anymore though.

I always thought that in that case the metal chassis delivers the ground so no wires are needed.

Eh, sometimes it helps if it doesn't have a good connection. I dunno, worth a try...I have had noisy pedals that worked on (and they got really noisy when the solder broke on a bad joint on the ground).

I mean, I would just look over the soldering and see if you can find anything not well soldered.

But it doesn't really sound like a grounding issue. It is hissing a bit too much for my taste. A direct in audio sample would be very very nice.

Ugly said in one of his videos that 'one spot' adapters tend to make Seppuku more noisy. Maybe that has something to do with it?
