I may be in the process of making a stereo ms20 filter (exp control, no LFO).I'll make note in here if I ever get to pcb making so I can share the love.

don't think he still is? he disappeared for awhile, left some people with orders unshipped hanging. thought he quit?

Yeah I Just saw something about that while googling around. Long gone.

Yeah Paul Perry quit building them. Any of the Frostwave stuff is killer if you can get ahold of it. Blue Ringer is a great ring mod too.

The Brain Freeze is AC Bennikus
There was a guy who made a personal MS20 filter pedal that runs off of 9v DC, has CV in for cutoff, can have an expression input for cutoff simultaneously, HP/AP/LP, up/down sweep, separate input and output gain controls. No LFO though. Maybe we could get him to allow a small run for interested parties? He designed the PCB for personal use so I'm not sure but I could definitely give it the ol' try.

behndy must've had a brain freeze about the power requirements on that.

BOOM. WORD PLAY.
lol. or. and just hear me out here. i am an IDIOT about psu's? AC is the standard Boss style requirement no? i though it was the other, but nurp. you are correct suh.
SO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY AN 18V
AC POWERED BRAIN FREEZE, hollah atcha boi.

I think I read a thread where you posted that drawing. You also had some PCB's of some mad-scientist Resonator meant for a wah pedal or something too.
Did that ever happen??

UH OH!!! Didn't know the Brainfreeze needs weird power. 9v DC or die for me.
Who is this man I need to talk to him as soon as possible we need a small run ASAP!!!!!

Just sent "the guy" an email! Either he or I will post here, I've linked him to the discussion.

Yes it did. We called it the Tresonator (Treadle + Resonator). Andy (UKToecutter) designed the PCB that is a direct retrofit for a Crybaby shell. He had a few boards made to validate the concept, and I did the first build.
In a nutshell, it's a Frostwave Resonator, with all the normal Resonator controls on the sides. At the front end, we find four, 3 position, rotary switches, which allow for CV to be fed to the parameter of choice via the treadle. The center position is OFF, and one side is + to - sweep, and the opposite position is - to + sweep. In other words, you can have any parameter you choose sweep up, while having another sweep down. The dual gang pot is wired as such, to handle one going up, while the other goes down. The red/green LED's indicated which parameter has been chosen for treadle control, red for + (up), and green for - (down).
The side controls can also be used in conjunction with the treadle, setting limits to a particular parameter being controlled. Super bonus.

I think Andy built one as well. I have another PCB tucked away in my shop... for a rainy day. Maybe, one day, if the price is right, I might put it together.

Dude that's incredible

DIBS!
JK. Resonator has me handled, I think...but if you did a small run for ILF or something I'd be down to help support such an effort and grab one
