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...

I felt lazy to debug so I etched another board. Gonna debug that on in the future!

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

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.
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.
