Title: Gauss Markov Octaver and Bazz Fuss Deluxe
Post by: CarpathiART on April 21, 2013, 02:15:36 PM
I´ve been working on this for a while now. Got it up and running weeks ago but then started working on the casing. This has been a ground breaking build for me in many ways: I´ve totally redrawn the octaver circuitboard to fit the IC´s in as in the gauss markov files the circuitboard layout was designed for using SMD´s. Another thing is that this was the first time I used water decals. Didin´t quite hit the spot but did an all right job in my opinion. I don´t feel bad stomping on it now, hehe. Trying to have time to make a sound sample and maybe submit it to the april contest. If I don´t get something even more interesting finished.

So here it is in all it´s gory, the Spitalian Stallion!

That is awesome, I love the mix of potentiometers and the console style enclosure. You need to enter this in the April contest for sure.

Great work!

Unreal! Stacked PCBs, Faders, and a wicked awesome graphic on a custom enclosure! This is the epitome of DIY!

Dead cool.

Is there any reason the IC sockets were soldered onto the traces side of the board/

Much thank you kind sir. I think I even surprised myself with the outcome. I always wanted faders on my pedals but didn´t have anything big enough to set them in that would make any sense of reason anyway.

The thing is the pcb layout from gauss markov had the SMD´s soldered on the trace side of the pcb and I didn´t think about it until after etching. And afterwards I didn´t want to risk my slim chances of success with figuring out all the reverse pinouts for the IC´s. Laziness is another way to put it I guess.

This fills my heart with hope- all my crazy DIY dreams are achievable!! Kudos sir, this is fantabulous

Wow this looks amazing.

One question thought, how to you get the white in your transparent waterside decals ??
I have used transparent stickers and waterslide decals but all of the white I attempt to print come out transparent ...

Anyhow, Kudos to you sir !!

Cheers

First of all Thanks! I have a friend who has this weird inkjet printer with white ink in it. I wrestled with the idea  myself for a while. And the white in this is has about 2% black in it to separate itself from the background which I assume is always handled as blank by printers.

Well is doesn't get much interesting than that! You should definitely enter this in to the comp this month. Brilliant! I love everything about it...

And Thanks! I still have about 8 2x100K faders lying around so I hope to see some more of those in my attempts. I´ve tried looking for some but I´d hope finding more circuits with just 100K Log pots used so I could put those of mine in use. We´ll see.

I try to have time to put together some kind of demo today and take couple better images of the whole thing and throw it in the mix!

This is one of the coolest builds I have seen EVER!!!! So many micro problems that you had to solve in real-time, what a great great effort. I love it when someone raises the bar. Fantastic work my friend, If I wasn't on work already I'd do a search on your posts and lurk on some of your other builds as well :D

I had to google Golf clap since I´m one ignorant person. Now I´m enlightened.

Thanks again for every being for their kind words. I just need to put this beast on tape so I can assure it also sounds as kick ass as it might seem outside.

I now added the sound sample of this thing for entering the april contest. This combo rocks. No need for an additional blend even with bass, which I originally built it for.
