As I said in that PM dude, the fuzz factory clone is AMAZING. Everything inside looks so neat and tidy too. Bravo man, I love it!

Aye, it's pretty fucking crazy though haha

Yup, with the Stab on full it's a full-on fuzz pedal with some Gatey sounds using the Gate knob, but lower the Stab and it all goes crazy.

mike, please go into business and make pedals and go to namm, i'll be your solder caddy!!!

haha.. not going to happen I don't think, I don't have the design chops.

Haze your case is drilled, and I went out into teh shed and braved the spiders in teh dark to prime it also.
This case is for the Vibrato and Tremelo in one pedal, I have no name for it yet. it will have depth controls for both vibrato and trem, a chop toggle for the vibe and a DoubleRate toggle for the trem. Footswitchable each with flashing tempo status LEDs.

Jos letting you know, my Small Clone works like a charm and looks fab too...
Great job Mike, as soon as I've got a few more dollars I'll defo be looking to order something built from scratch...

I was gonna hit you up with a PM but figured you were busy Mike.
No worries, it was a fun thing to do and a cool experience, glad you're liking it. It's still my favourite chorus pedal after all these years.

Here's a Trem video

Haze I painted your case white today, I'm adding decals and clearcoat tomorrow morning.
I also tested the overdrive and boost boards and they work fine and sound great.

OK, cases decalled and now they're in the shed curing after I clearcoated them.
I should be able to build on Sunday/Monday and get the pedal out shortly afterwards.
The Orange pedal is the Vibrato/Tremelo 2-in-1 pedal prototype.
Don't worry that they're not Mustang knobs, I have some I'm going to use on your pedal I'm going to steal from a pedal I built for me, since you can't buy them any more for some reason.

I've recently come up with my own twist on a Tremolo and Vibrato effect. In their distilled form they are as follows:
Sound samples are in the prototypes thread and somewhere in this thread
Tremolo
A vintage styled trem with Depth and Rate controls.
Also features a switchable DoubleRate mode. This can be toggle switch on a smaller cases, or a Footswitch on a Larger box.
The trem uses a MOSFET input stage which gives you plenty of volume, untamed it's actually a hefty boost. I was thinking of implementing the volume control as a trimpot (set-and-forget), unless someone particularly wants it available as a normal volume knob on the front of the pedal.
The Trem status LED pulses in time with the tempo. I could also make an option when the tempo LED flashing even in bypass and a separate LED shows the status of the pedal.
Vibrato
An oddball Vibrato effect has Depth and Rate controls (although the depth is somewhat arbitrary, you can only really sense the effect on high depths).
Also features a switchable "Chop" mode which gives you fast aggressive tremololike pitch chopping. This can be toggle switch on a smaller cases, or a Footswitch on a Larger box.
The Vibrato status LED pulses in time with the tempo. I could also make an option when the tempo LED flashing even in bypass and a separate LED shows the status of the pedal.
So the options/pricing:
Generally I would offer them both in Small cases for approximately £70/$140 shipped.
If you wanted the secondary effect (doublerate/chop) to be footswitchable that would add £5/$10, ditto the extra volume control on the Tremolo.
Having two LEDs (tempo and status) would incur no extra cost.
I could do them both in the same box like the above for £90/$180 I think. The above prototype will be sold for around £80/$160 if anyone wants it.

So many epic things going on here, amazing you have the time to pull off so much in addition to your own R&D, Mike.
Vibe-trem will be an ace stage weapon no doubt.

Cheers mate, although R&D is a bit strong, I'm mainly a builder with a bunch of building blocks. I'm not doing the real hands-dirty clever design that many do and I won't take credit for it, I just muck about with values and circuit snippets and bash them together until they sound good or bad. Or so bad they're good. A lot of it is mistakes aswell I'm not afraid to admit. The chop mode on the vibrato was a missing capacitor.
The veroboard layouts is the only hardcore real design I do, and I am quite proud of that, scrawling away as I do during my lunch-hour.
