PAIA Roctave Divider
Here's a proto enclosure for a PAIA Roctktave Divider. Haven't tested the board yet but it provides fuzz, octave down, 2 octaves down, and a rotary switch for several intervals of octave down. It's a huge board in a huge enclosure. I'm gonna test the board tomorrow. Once I finish mine I'll report back. Another beast to behold...

Duuuuuuude... so is this going to be an ongoing offering? Maybe?
I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Re: PAIA Roctave Divider
Yes, definitely. I just 5 minutes ago debugged mine and its now fully functional. Pretty awesome. Lots of sounds. I'll need to upload or link to the original PAIA article. A couple of mods have been added so far and there's one other that I'm going to try. Will add up the parts and come up with price.jrmy wrote:Duuuuuuude... so is this going to be an ongoing offering?

Skully, after some head scratching I found where my signal was dropping out. On your board and my new one we had a diode oriented the wrong way. From tracing the schematic I discovered this so the board you sent me may functional once that's fixed.....

Re: PAIA Roctave Divider
All done. If anyone wants these, I will most likely add text for the controls and toggles and church up the rotary art some.
I've added a toggle to switch between stock Rocktave and the modded version which offers several divided intervals via the rotary control up top. There's also a toggle that adds a cap to the compander that gives a kinda gross brassier blown out sound. Probably will add one more switch for another mod to alter the envelope of the divided sounds' envelope decay.
These will be $175 shipped CONUS.
