Title: Nautilus is awesome.
Post by: Chris Brown on March 06, 2013, 08:42:40 AM
This is my first mutron clone or envelope filter in general... man what a cool sounding circuit! Everything went into place and boxed up as expected.. I don't usually use pcb mounting but I did with this on and as usual it blows me away how much less work there is when the pots and most of the switches don't have to be wired.

The circuit fired up first try and it works like it's supposed to. A range of sounds are available... everything from mahavishnu orchestra and Jerry Garcia to straight up disco rhythm. I haven't added it to my gig pedal board yet but I suspect it's going to sound great before and possibly after a compressor. I'll do a demo of this one on my next round of fx videos.

I used a dpdt on-on-on for the mode switch to create some room for the power jack at the top of the enclosure. Also the gain pot is 1MC so it has a nice range of usability.

The enclosure is covered in my usual tie dyed cloth but this time I sprinkled some glitter before I sealed it... I'm not sure if I like the glitter or not but I know other people will dig it when they see it sparkling from across the barroom haha

Awesome.... yes it is!

Playing through mine with my bass I can almost smell that stanky bad funk :D.

Cool build as well dude.

I use this rare pedal http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h193/Piron_iz_Elide/DSC00005.jpg?t=1265494718 for those sort of sounds, but I am thinking giving NaughtyLust...a try (http://www.muzicki-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
