thank to Iommic Pope and KaosCill8r, I am now in posession of a fucking sick pedal called the voltron of awesomeness
what it is: vox repeat percussion built into a wah enclosure
what it also is: fucking rad

seriously having a ball with it already
two knobs, two switches and the treadle
massssive range of speed, ring mod and beyond

kaos! take it away and talk more if you would like
i will take some pics soon!

also kaos this is probably as good a place as any, but why no daisy chaining? will it fry shit? or just make noise. i have been putting off buying an isolated supply for ages but have a couple of one spots so i can dedicate one to this on smaller set ups if its the former but the latter i can deal with, im only playing at home lately

Hey, glad you're digging it dude. I had a lot of fun building it. And also, thanks to Iommic Pope for entrusting me with this build.
I was going to mark the controls for you but decided that it would be better if you just explored the pedal and work it all out for yourself. It's the ILF way
In regards to daisy chaining I'm sure it will be ok. During testing I discovered a strange noise that I thought was the clock noise bleeding through the signal. When I connected it just on its own, power and signal the noise was gone. So I assumed it need to be isolated. Then a couple of days after sending it off I was surprised to find the weird noise was still there. After spending a couple of frustrating hours trying to locate this phantom noise I discovered it was oscillating from one of my fuzz pedals bleeding into the signal.
I hope you post a demo. I would love to hear what you do with it. A great trick I discovered with that circuit is to run a fuzz before it and an overdrive after it. With the amp cranked loud enough to feed the signal back into your pickups and back into the trem it oscillates in such an awesome way.
Anyway have fun with it. I built it to survive a nuclear blast but if anything does go wrong or you just need the wah pot switched out, don't hesitate to contact me.

I have a few Repeat Percussion clones. It's a noisy circuit. So awesome though.

I imagine having control with a treadle would make it a lot more fun.

that fuzz pedal needs a grounded input grounded output when in bypass. you can do this on a 3PDT. on a vintage big muff they ground the signal in the middle of the circuit after Q1+Q2 before Q3+Q4 when you hit the footswitch. ground them both. nothing gets through. if it still creates noise my next question what is it?

I came into DIY for the first time in ages to make a thread about this, finally, and give props to Kaos, but gk you beat me to it.

So, the reason I was so pumped about this was it ticked all the boxes as far as the spirit of ILFmas is concerned for me.
It is pretty unique.
It is something gk was really hankering for, all year long according to his posts.
It was built by an ILFer and has custom options to make it even betterer.
I got to give two pedals to ILFers and spread more love (Kaos wanted a fuzz kit of his own, so I was more than happy to make a payment with FVZZ ).
It repurposed an old wah enclosure from one of my first pedals (obtained about 20 years ago now and turned it into something way more rad, so there's a personal touch and recycling there.

The small amount of time I spent with it blew me away, there are a lot of sounds and tricks in there that you just cannot do without a treadle. Oodles of fun.
I don't even like trem and I kind of wanted to keep it.
The super fast sounds are also a lot of fun.
That feedback trick sounds so rad Kaos. Pretty sure over time with a lot of experimentation, this thing is going to pay huge dividends for gk.

Over all, Kaos went above and beyond for this build, I can't stress that enough. The guy is just a champion.
We were pretty chuffed with ourselves when the build was complete, but all the credit falls to him.
I seriously can't thank you enough for this dude.
He made this thing bombproof as well, so its not like it just looks cool and sounds ok at home.
Roadworthy or GTFO.

GK: post some pics and demos soon, dude!
