Yeah, I debated that. This is marginally more mechanically robust. I think, but if I was doing it again, I'd probably grab some shrink, an R, and inline it.

It's sort of a PITA to disassemble, but I wanted to take a gander at the other parts, anyway.

Well damn man you inspired me.. I'll pull mine apart and do this mod. I usually just don't look at it

I'm surprised how much these LEDs annoyed me. Usually I can roll with such things. I hope your mod goes as well as mine did.

I could probably have gone higher than 6K, btw. They're totally acceptable now, but still a little on the bright side.

I like moderately bright. It's a good reminder of our fine electric age. Water clears usually get 5.6k or 6.8k in my pedals.

I had the LED's swapped out. It was burning my eyeballs. Alternately you could sand them a bit to soften them or use a Sharpie to dim them.

It's not really the LEDs fault per se, but the combination of a high efficiency LED and too low a current limiting resistor. I imagine they are as bright as they are on purpose. I imagine you can see them in daylight. Hell, I imagine you could use them instead of daylight.

Another modal droney thing, with the HEQ1 featured for the first half or so. This track is exercising a couple new fuzzes: Diablo/Tastemaker HEQ1, and Spaceman Spacerocket. I play with the guitar volume control a bunch, particularly when using the HEQ1, because it has such an interesting response. I also use the Spaceman Nebula towards the end, but in a fairly polite setting. Base tone and light drive from Kingsley.

Looping from a custom algorithm for the eventide Orville. There's some granular delay from the Pladask Form2 in one place, as well.

Sounds really good @cbm. Good to hear someone putting the Form2 to use on a track. :)

Oh HEQ yeah--enjoyed that!

The super-efficient LEDs are the real technological breakthrough of the pedal. Why turn all that delicious current into heat with a resistor when you could turn it into eye-melting light? Think about it - if you melt someone's eyes, you're already well on your way to melting their faces.

Peter, I think the real question should be "Can we toast up some s'mores on top of this pedal?" though.

What are you working on now, Peter?

Not working on anything at the moment, but two things I designed or had a hand in will be hitting the world soon.

I'm taking a little break from designing stuff for a bit. Since I don't own a pedal company anymore, I have the luxury to design only when I'm inspired. Not feelin' super inspired lately.

Maybe I'll finally get around to prototyping that DOD Gunge remake.

What can I do to inspire you? Send nudes?
