DIRGE ELECTRONICS: Progress/Protos/Puppies

[goroth]

Dude, blast switch is a sweet idea. Totally negates the need to have a stand alone post gain booster.

[skullservant]

Yeah man! Exactly!

Alright, back from vacation list:

Monkeydancer Delay- general wiring starting this week
Phanta Reverb- pretty sure one of the packages I picked up this morning in the post was the parts for the new compressor board. Decided that its going to be reverb into Dyna Comp, with toggle switches to turn both off inside of the effect bypass stomp so you can either have both on, or one on and the other off
Delay with slam switch

That's all I've got on the bench right now, I think!

Phanta Reverb vero board cut and traces plotted. Just need to drill out the cuts, then I can start populating
Delay enclosure drilled and first round of sprays done

I've got a migraine. I gotta go to bed

Phanta's reverb comp is almost finally finished. Everything is wired up, I'm just debugging the compressor side. I realized one of my caps was up a row and I think I might've blown the IC. So I'm gonna swap it for a fresh one and see if that fixes it.

Here's the scoop:

Swapped out the huge 100uf's on Phanta's compressor and have a new IC on the way.
Drilled the last two footswitch holes on Monkeydancer's delay, realized Mammoth shorted me on soft touch momentary switches. One is on the way.
Waiting on the new delay pcb for the skull delay, should hopefully be here tomorrow. Need a soft touch momentary switch for that one too.
Black Acid is fixed. No idea about MIDI to try to fix whatever was done to this Monotribe.
Tristan's shirt has been drawn and packed.
Initial wiring done on Ryan's SSStampede. Realized I forgot to order a few caps, which I'll grab tomorrow. Also, Mammoth shorted me on some bezels, so I can't wire in any LEDS yet.

Now you see why some builds take so long. I really need to shopping for parts elsewhere.

You've got a pretty solid look by now and a decent customer base - maybe standardise a bit and buy in larger quantities from like mouser?

you should post a pic of my skull delay enclosure. the people need to behold the beautiful work you did

Been contemplating this for a while, at least for jacks, dc jacks, stomp switches, momentaries, etc. I also might start using bitcheslovemyswitches more.
I've started to stock up on resistors and a few set of caps, but I really need to get some more. It's kind of a pain ordering stuff every time I do a build.
The only thing that's been holding me back is money up front going into it ordering that stuff, but I would like to do it one day. It'll speed up the process.

And this is Dr. Ryan's:

Ordering parts is always time consuming and sometimes annoying. I always forget something. I hardly ever order from Mammoth and my last order took about two weeks to get to
me because they were out of 100k pots. Not a huge deal as they sent everything to me but I had no idea when the shit would arrive and I had to order pots from somewhere in else to
finish up a build. Gonna stick to Mouser and Small Bear and PPP. I do order from BLMS sometimes.

[phantasmagorovich]

wow, those are some amazing finishes!

[Iommic Pope]

Whoah fuck!
Bust out the sex, Skully!

[Tristan]

Holy Balls, shit's amazing!
Shirt is finished and looking awesome, woohoo!
