Man, I really need to finish this one, thanks for reminding me! 

Same here, need to get back on track.  Too many unfinished projects and not enough time...

Cool, can't wait to see the docs for the wobulator

That's pretty cool. I need to have a go at covering a pedal with fur. Maybe have a muppet themed animal pedal...

Looks great. There's something about hand painted pedals...
If I could draw half decent, I wouldn't be using decals

So can someone explain the whole card table thing. I've heard it used loads in the forum but I don't get the reference to klons

There was a long article with an interview with Klon creator Bill Finnegan and in it he made a point about the original Klons being built on his card table.

Thanks, so that's the secret and that's what I've been doing wrong. For years I've been building on the floor of the guitar room. Better head down to ikea...

Haha, it works

Klone

Well, I'm pleased to say that I managed to get the manual pot in the 69.6k-2.6m range (finally). Removed the 27p cap and replaced it with a 10p tayda mlcc (measured 19p), I had a batch of 22p tayda MLCCs which measured 32-35p (oddly more out of range than the 27p mlcc) so I went with the 10p in the end. Was fairly straightforward after that with the trimmer twiddling.  Hopefully this thread will be helpful for anyone else attempting the flintlock. Still got the 1m resistor tacked on the back of the board in parallel. Was thinking about removing it but as it's in range now, thought I'd just leave it there. Onwards to the next stage...

Ps thanks for all the help!

Like the orange sparkle finish. I thought the ldr mod was loads of fun. I'd recommend just trying it out by disconnecting the vactrol and sending some jumper wires to an ldr and see if you like it.

Interesting discussion, thanks for continuing to chip in with help and advice. I'll try some cap changes and report back later today if I get a chance (I'm introducing my son to Star Wars this weekend, so priorities are there...)

Awesome. Nice graphic, I used a similar pic on my harbinger

Nice build. Pilot holes really help. I don't have a center punch but I use an old nail with the tip sharpened to a fine point with a metal file and find that it works great.

The doppelgänger is awesome, I built the full sized version and really happy with it. Hopefully I'll get this flanger working by the time you've boxed up your 9

Just curious if you got this working.

I am staring down this build with fear and trepidation......

No, not yet, I've put it on hold for a moment to look at it with a fresh pair of eyes. My above post said that I managed to get it in the correct frequency range, I was wrong. I was biasing it late at night and was exhausted after a long day at work. For some reason I read 2.2Mhz on the dmm as 2.6 and didn't realise till I went back to it the following evening!!! 
Going to look at it again on the weekend.  Probably going to start by checking all the components.
How's yours coming along?
