DIRGE ELECTRONICS: Progress/Protos/Puppies

[rot gut]

This little box is a Treble Booster that I traded with skully, so happy with this guy.

What do the switches do?

[skullservant]

the one on the left switches between treble/full range, the bottom right is battery disconnect, and the top right is a 3 way for requency range!

The WahDweller is fucking AMAZEBALLS!!

For those that missed it a few pages back, this is a CaveDweller delay in a wah enclosure. The treadle controls the dwell knob, which means I can make it go from just a couple repeats at toe up to insane runaway oscillation at toe down. The two small knobs on the left side are echo and blend, the large knob on the right controls delay time. So I can bury the treadle to make it start feeding back, and then roll the delay time knob with my foot to do the crazy pitching up and down sounds.

The repeats are nice and dark and dirty, it really is an amazing sounding delay.

I'm so glad you dig it!!

I kind of need that cave dweller Wah!!!!

It was a super fun build!

Tonight I FINALLY finished the WSG. I replaced all of the pots and the PCB, added a master volume, power starve, and SHO booster as well as rehoused it.
I tried rewiring the original board twice but I think a chip was blown. The new guts worked like a charm first try!



Also started on space6oy's pedal. I guess the picture is going to give most of it away, but it's going to be a tap tempo delay with modulation, oscillation, and a gloom drive after it for fuzzy trails. SUPER psyched about it.

Turns out I need 2 more LEDS for the tap board, so I'm gonna drill some more holes and plant them this week.

ALSO I realized that the time pot on the Cave Dweller board doesn't get used anymore- the tap tempo board has a 100k time pot that is used instead!
Looks like daugher board controls BOTH the time and the modulation by sending signals to the VCO of the PT2399 via Pin 6.

Need to do some studying

Any plans of doing more WahDwellers?

[skullservant]

If and when I do, it's going to be a bring your own shell policy. It'd add a good $40 onto the price otherwise, and I really don't know about the quality of Mammoth wah shells to put money into them only for them to fail, you know?

[My name is Mudd]

Cool - I'm definitely interested, but don't need/can't really afford one any time soon. I'd like to talk about one later this spring or summer, tho...if/when you're ready...

[Bellyheart]

Simple question, what are you using to cut the proto board?

[skullservant]

@My name is Mudd- sounds good man.

@Bellyheart- I score with a flathead screwdriver, then I cut the end with wire cutters and it snaps on the score!

I GOT A WAH SHELL!!!!
