Aleph Null Peacock Parallel Fuzz

[gordo]

I really enjoyed the progress on this project and when boards became available I pounced.  This is the first board I've built up in my insanely limited home space now that I'm an urban condo dweller.  That said, it's forced me to spend a bunch more time on building since I don't have all my stuff at arm's reach and appreciate the time a lot more.

Once I get this thing finished up I'll get more into detail, but initial impressions are what I liked about the demo's I heard.  The parallel concept is really slick with two differently voiced fuzzes.  I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often with any effects but I suppose that's the entire concept of things like the Klein Bottle from VFE and suddenly it makes more sense as well.

Anyway I'll update this as I go and try to get a few sound samples of my own in.

Woohoo! I'm excited to see one of these in the wild! I have questions, but I'll hold off until after your final report.

Woohoo. I dunno how I missed this.

Nice work!

As you saw, I'm getting on with it and looking forward to jamming.

Beautiful! Very clean layout and build.

Not going to win any awards for ripping off someone else's graphics but I kinda dig this.  My other board will get more of a channelized with labels approach but this one is the personal stash.



Let this one dry and shoot it with clear.  Not sure I'll get back into the shop with the Chicago Marathon going on this weekend but looking forward to getting this thing buttoned up.

It looks great! Brown on powder blue looks much classier than I would have imagined.

Nothing too dramatic here but it's together and working.  Aleph, the brown would really have been a cool idea now that you mention it but alas, it was a trick of the light.  It's straight up black.  The clear coats got shot and the jack holes drilled.  So it's done and I'm going to totally rip off your knob idea of using greens and gold.  I've been so busy at the shop now that I'm back that I get some time on this when I can spare it.

All good though with some time spent working on recent Supro product (holy crap do those folks know how to wire a tour quality chassis...but makes it a bitch to service), as well a Divided-by-13, and Evil Robot chassis.  Fun stuff.  Next weekend I'm getting in a Magnatone and a cool Brownface Fender Princeton Chris Stapleton signature.  Good to be back in action.

I HATE the connector wiring look so the next version will be normal wiring.  Still if it needed to be serviced...  Also worth noting that the dented electro's at the top really aren't.  Weirdness of lighting I guess.

LMS order placed and will straighten out the footswitch and LED wires before I close this bad boy up.  Standby for mediocre but meaningful demos...

gorgeous! coming together nicely, gordo!

That's a banger, Gordo  Sharp!
