DOD FX15 build maybe?

I'll post some pics and sound samples in the weekend all going well.

Been working on this, almost finished hopefully. Just got to put it all together..

So it's got 4 pots, each controlling:
boost ( up to 40db+ gain)
wave select (4-6 different "waveforms")
attack/release time (about 200ms to 8sec )
and volume control.

that sounds fantastic... 8 seconds attack/release

[mysteriousj]

Just a couple settings. Kinda trying to do a cathederal/infinite kinda thing with a ramp up. Recorded on my cell phone lol(blame that for the noise/buzzes). Just pressing the switch at a constant tempo.

A bit faster..

Sounds great, man

Let me ask: may I buy this off you, or could you build me one? If so, how much?

Cheers! cb

That is really cool sounding.
To do something like this, how much programming is required to carry out these functions?
Sorry if my question sounds silly but I am very new to this aspect of electronic effects.

Sure I can make two, no problem. I'll give you a pm sometime when i'm closer to finishing it.. Ran into a bug with my code which i'm just hopefully fixing..

Check out arduino it's a good start. A programmer costs ~30$ and then you just need a breadboard and parts etc. Programming wise it's not too hard, it's all written in C. Even for someone with no experience you can catch on pretty quickly. I'd recommend you get the book called "arduino cookbook". It's really useful and easy to understand, with heaps of good examples.

There's also the PIC or Atmel route, but only really go for them if you have a lot of programming experience imo.

That would be amazing. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the info!
I did just recently pick up an arduino and it is amazing what these things are capable of doing. I'm still on the blinking led stage of proficiency but one has to start somewhere.
Hope you get all the bugs worked out and a nice working model out with some soundclips soon.

Nice you already got one, I can send you some code for it if you'd like. I'm doing this with avr but I tested it out on an arduino first. It's not as complete as the avr version but it's still mostly there. I think I got all the bugs sorted now but am just gonna do a little redesign of the audio section so it can do boost/cut, as well as a tremolo mode...

[CBGB]

...tremolo mode, you say...

[multi_s]

this thing sounds great.

also + 1 for arduino.

do you plan on making it input triggered? like the input signal triggers the beginning of the attack?

Not at the moment, it's triggered by a momentary stomp, which is nice if you want to pick out a few or a particular note and alter it's attack/release/volume, not so nice if you want to alter the attack/release/volume of every note you play cause you'd have to stomp every time. It's also got a trem mode, where it just repeats the wave with the speed set by the attack/release pot. I'm planning to make an input triggered one once i finish this, it'd just take a few modifications. I couldn't really fit it in this project it's already got 4 pots and 4 toggles somewhow

any pics?
