Here we go, hot off the bench, my new favourite pedal :)
Based on a project (and a PCB) over at tonepad.com I decided to scrounge up the bits to make an nice analog chorus. Based on the Boss CE-2 pedal, this one has rate and depth control as usual, but the depth range has been substantially increased and there's a toggle switch that doubles the rate for insane wiggling. Add to that the CE-2B spec 'effect level' control and a toggle between "Bass" and "Guitar" mix curves and it's got a fair bit of tweakability.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze, so no battery in this one.
It looks kind of naked compared to my others because whilst the powdercoated case from pedal parts plus IS super awesome, I chose a dark colour and now I can't use decal paper or anything (cant print white.....)
I had a few headaches with a dodgy pot and some shorting issues, but got those sorted eventually.
Anyway, have a look.
