Title: Current Lover
Post by: HousTom on February 26, 2022, 05:42:43 AM
I seldom post my builds, but then again, they seldom turn out this well.   ;)
Not a quick or easy build but well documented and straightforward. Seems like with these bigger ones the best approach is to just be patient -- you're not gonna build it in one sitting. When first powered up there was no flanging so I had a small heart attack, but turns out if the "BIAS" trimmer isn't in the sweet spot you get signal but no effect. So that was a non-issue. Wife's "Cricut" machine made the logo.

I also recently built the Lectrik-FX Flintlock (ADA clone) and it's even more complex with a tricky calibration required. Next up is the Aion Dimension-C. That looks like a beast.

Nice. I've got a dimension-c set of boards, and have for a while. I've been too intimidated to work on them.

Looks great!  I built the Dimension C about a year ago.  As Kevin's instructions say, follow his plan and don't freelance.  Low profile caps are a must.  The only thing that threw me off was the orientation of the header pins.

Did you hand paint the indicators and is that glow in the dark paint? I like that idea

I like the metallic logo.  That's a great looking build.

Used a "paint pen" to color the indicators green. Not glow. Need to clean 'em up. I do think I'll use this idea again, like rather than pink knobs on something, just do black knobs with a pink indicator for example.

Great build, it's a fantastic circuit and easier to dial in than the flintlock as you have learned. Graphic looks cool and the knobs with green are a nice touch.

I did manage to make that Dimension-C after this Mistress.
