Thanks you all! I had etched one of these boards many years ago and ended up selling the pedal on the forum at some point when I was broke. I think it had traded hands a couple of times and eventually ended up with oldangelmidnight. There was some problems with it after some years so instead of debugging it, I ended up etching another board for oldangelmidnight and decided I needed one myself. Built both boards and they tested beautifully but when I stuffed my board into the enclosure it wasn't working anymore and I noticed one of the copper traces had gotten lifted and lost it's connection. Fixed that but still couldn't get it too work and was frustrated as all of the voltages were spot on and all the switches were working. Ended up scrapping that board and etched another, but had the same problem! I should have noticed that there was no bypass signal in the beginning and it all came down to a faulty output jack. So, took forever to build but it's finally finished and sounds awesome!

would you consider building/selling more of these for personal orders?

Hey man, possibly doable. I would need to design a circuit board for it as I can't make one from this board for sale. PM me, but likely not anytime soon as I'm halfway finished with a secret satan gift and taking my time to build an amp...

I went to a Pladask Elektrisk workshop last weekend and I just got around to covering up the bare enclosure and swapping and red and yellow clone knobs for something more neutral.

It's a FV-1 based pedal with some neat features like feedback, a LPF and toggles in the back to pick which parameters to control via an expression pedal and/or the second footswitch.
Modes: Ringmod, Random Vibrato, Tape Delay simulator, Texture Reverb, Octave Generator Delay, Reverse Delay, Grain Shuffler and Granular Time Stretch

here's a couple things I've been working on this week, Algal Bloom modded with a tone control and an internal feedback loop which can be controlled with the photocell, (still waiting on the set of matching knobs :facepalm: ) and an amp attenuator I built inside an old instrument tester.

I used an 8ohm 100w l-pad attenuator, there's an 8/4ohm switch I added because I wired my cab to be 4ohms.
