if everything goes to plan, there will be an small version and a large one with more waveforms and options/knobs, i could add by request the clean parallel dry to the small one. I havent experimented a lot with envelopes, i know it could be doable, but dont wait for it for this one at least for now
lot of progress i'm really happy with results, with the triangle lfo and guitar can get very phaser-esque, dont know why but my first thought after strumming a chord and let ring was MBV. Kinda understood the need for clean blend when there were modulation. Also without modulation lots of different of fuzztones, that convinced me that the small version will be pulse width with exp option and then a large version with lfo and waves and other options
CV for external lfo or cv to control the lfo?, its doable either way.
Just ordered the vinyl for the normal version, controls: Dry, Range (width), Vol, Int/gate and Tone plus Range expression. I'm thinking of also offering a small version with just vol and range. I'm still thinking on all the features for the big version
sorry for the delay on this. I had some issues with a custom build that is taking all my time, braincells and cool factor, i expect to be in full speed before the weekend
love it so much, that i might do 3 versions, small (2knobs), medium (5 knobs) and big (8 knobs). The pcb for the small is done, doing some changes on the medium and the big
Small Version of the Trek, it's been done for a while but other stuff i'm cooking is taking most of the time. Trying to fit the lfo in the 125b case with dry knob and external expression, but an upcoming design is taking over my inspiration and brain cells
Here's an overview of the trek, a pulse width fuzz from copilot fx. The signal input used is a vco (voltage controlled oscillator). The second (grey pedal) is a broadcast which is used as lfo source to modulate the range to create the pwm for the trek, you could also use an exp pedal if you want to do it manually or twist the range knob. The controls are volume and range to set the pw, the jack on the side is for external control of the range (disables the knob)
This is the mini version, it includes the expression jack (took me so long because it's with with external control) without it does a nice fuzz, but the awesome is when its modulated.
The small version will cost $100, the 4 knobber (includes a dry knob and sort of gate control for the bassist) will be $150
I'm doing a quick run of them for $85 2knob and $125 4knob, with the option to add a stock broadcast for $95 extra. For those who prefer CV control also the option is available for $20 extra
I prefer the LFO option to manual, the triangle LFO sounds really cool. If possible to offer LFO with a manual expression option would be best of course ^_^
i was thinking of adding the lfo, even i did a pcb for it, it is 8 knobber with the lfo built in, but doing the math for the price and other stuff it was projected to cost around 210-220 (having a footswitch to go from manual to lfo, external sync for tap tempo the lfo and having the expression to do it manual and when its in lfo mode control the rate or the ratio). Dry knob to blend original signal. But i'm having my doubts that at that price point i wont be able to sell 20 units a year.
That's beautiful! Those controls look like they'd give it quite a bit of flexibility. Is that an input on the side to control the range using an expression pedal or cv?
