Title: Aion - Blueshift Dimension C
Post by: Bio77 on August 27, 2018, 06:35:01 PM
This might be my best build yet.  The finish is hard capture in a picture.  I't a polished aluminum box with a waterslide and several coats of clear. This is the second Dimension C I've built.  It's such a pretty board when populated. 

On both builds I used Cool Audio BBDs and set them to 3.4 V with the DMM.  The effect worked great with those settings.  Double checking with the scope, it didn't need any adjustment.  In fact, on my first build I got myself into the weeds trying to improve it with the scope, ended up taking it out of the box and reseting the trimmers with the DMM.

I changed the LED to white before boxing, think it needed a more spacey vibe.

Just starting my second one by rounding up parts.  Those boards do look fabulous, it's a shame they have to face into the pedal and nobody gets to see the magic.

I agree, that's why this time around I made sure to get the gut shot before I wired it up.

Great job.  I look at those and think, "Yeah, maybe I'll just buy the Behringer version."

I bought the Behringer one off craigslist for $25 just a few months ago. I'm extremely pleased with it. Finding one at that price has got to be very rare though.

As Kaeisy said, Aion provided the file I used.  I edited it in Illustrator to change the color.  I printed it on a waterslide decal paper and then several coats of clear.
