You are a mad man! That enclosure with just holes drilled looked like swiss cheese. The end result looks awesome.

You going to stock the 3PDT daughter boards? I'm getting tired of etching mine everytime I build something. lol

Thanks man, i do like how it turned out. The pots nubs hole adds lots of drilling but to me, it's necessary.

Yup the 3PDT will be stocked, comes in pack of three that you need to snap them off.
They are 1590A friendly, uses 1/8watt resistors, CLR and optional In/Out pull down resistor. Did'nt have enough place to add another 9V pad, not too hard to splice wires if needed.

Forgot to mention that i used a Road Rage with LT1054 to supply 15v to PorkBarrel and CurrentLover.

Insane! How about a pic of that whole GC reliced board?

I like how 'space station' like it looks. The knobs really complete this super modern/futuristic synth station sort of look.

Good job. Wiring the big ones is always complicated.

That wiring looks fantastic, Rej.

The outside looks good, too.

Holy crap!  That is cool.  Great combo, very neat wiring.  Wow.

Very nice Rej! Good to see your big ones are just as cool as your small ones (now that sounded weird....) Liking the different coloured LEDs and the big ass knobs, and the wiring is very tidy, good work!!!

Super clean and precise drilling. Plus green is my favorite color, great choice for the wiring!

so much modulation in one box...

Wow! This is awesome on so many levels. The builds themselves are complicated enough without combining them and the finished product is so clean.  I don't even know how to connect 2 circuits yet.

Great job!

Thanks for all the comments guys, will always be appreciated.

Just throwing out an idea like that, couple of us guys here builds multis on a steady basis. Maybe we could collaborate and make some sort of tutorial?

Also, i have a little reason to be festive with this one, after filling my build spread sheet, this is my 600th completed pedal....Woohooo!!

And since i live on the dark side of the moon, behold for the 666th, pure evil it will be!

No problems with bleedover? Im surprised you have no heterodyning with the two clocks in there.

Good work!  ;)

With the LT1054.... did you clip off the lead on the chip as suggested in the build docs?

No clock problem at all, it's super clean.

I took out the pin1 of the socket as per the build doc.

What i've found with most effect that uses clock and voltage multiplier other than getting the right ones to minimize the chances of having operation noise, is buying good caps, all the caps going to ground or coupling, if you use so so quality stuff ie. Tayda, chances of having problems are really high. I always use Nichicon and ELNA Audio Grade, not really more expansive than the other and in the end, you build with confidence.

Congrats on your 600th pedal! Wow! Thats a lot! A tutorial on connecting multiple circuits would be awesome!

Thanks!
