I’ve got an EAE Model FeT and Dagger but I’d still love to build them 🤣 That’s a very handy list, there’s a bunch there which sound really tempting!

So far these are the 3 that stand out as potential builds that would be super handy for me. The Euna is a definite. I’d probably grab one more while I’m there. The Compressor is tempting because it looks pretty easy and my Accountant is ace but noisy. The Muzzle noise gate looks a little more faffy but a noise gate would be extremely handy for me, particularly with the sidechain option.

Oooo nice! Yeah I might hit you up when I’ve got something together!

Nice! Where you based?

I’ve always wanted to try Airbrushing, I’ve had a book on it for about 20 years 🤣 Maybe this would be a good opportunity to grab one.

@LukeFRC What stamps do you use?

Looks great! At some point it would be cool to have a play with acid etching although I’d need to find somewhere away from my 5yo 🤣

Excited to build some. At least it should be less faffy than the surface mount DIY mech keyboards I’ve done. Dunno what I’ll do to finish it assuming it works.

Ooo good catch, well I think I’ll be popping an order for Musikding. Sadly they’re out of TS50b sets.

A TS50b is high on my want list too, maybe I can treat myself to a couple of fun projects.

Good shout, I was intending to grab it from Five Cat Pedals but that might be a better option. I’m not planning on churning out pedals, I’d quite fancied grabbing a breadboard and playing around with building some circuits to try, maybe experiment with different options. Maybe grab one of those Coppersound DIY boards to play with.

Fancy building my first pedal, thinking of a 29pedals Euna clone. It’s a very expensive pedal I keep eying up so this would be a cool way to stop me splashing out a load of money while having a fun project to help me avoid getting better at playing. Just wondering where people source components?

Yeah I’m still not sure how I feel about stuff like that. Doesn’t bother me as much for bigger gear manufacturers, certainly not when the gear that’s being modelled is out of production. Even products that are wildly out of the budget for most people to contemplate like the Nobel where it’s unlikely to impact sales. Captures don’t bother me much either, I’ve bought gear based on using captures that otherwise I would’ve been waaaaay less likely to splash out on. Large businesses modelling gear made by smaller boutique builders feels pretty unethical to me.

Yeah the input levels are more use for side chaining so like the noise gate example you can adjust the threshold relative to the device input rather than the noise gate block input level. Super handy for higher gain patches. It’s really fun for modulation though so when you dig in hard you can have parameters react differently. I set up some fun tape delays where digging in harder past a certain level would give more Wow and flutter etc the harder you played so the effects are a little more dynamic.

I can’t find any videos on it but one cool effect was using the Slicer effect but using an assign with the Internal Pedal set to a sine wave to control the “Pattern” parameter which results in a random sounding glitchy stutter. Great for building lofi patches. There’s some great examples of the kind of weird effects you can create here:
