I built a little Meris Preset switcher

Post by Hurb »

I recently bought a Enzo synth pedal by Meris. It's a pretty deep pedal and desperately in need of onboard presets. Meris sell a 4 preset switcher for around 100 dollar pounds. Turns out it's a pretty simple DIY build costing around 20/30 dollar pounds in parts. I spend Friday at work drilling out the little Hammond box and spray painting it in black.

I wired it up at home and because I am an idiot I bought the wrong value resistors not all switches worked. Stupid killaohms!!!
Anyway the next day I was able to sub the incorrect resistor and double up on another one to get it all working. Because I had to fault find and unsolder and resolder everything you are not seeing inside!!! But it looks alright from the outside!

I may build another one for the ottobit I bought from Doog one day but it's less vital.
