Trem-O-Verb

[Aleph Null]

Built a double pedal trem/verb for a friend. I used BYOC micro pedal boards because I knew they would fit easily and sound good.  I added an order switch; verb into trem is traditional, but I love the sound of trem into verb. I was surprised at how good the reverb sounded—smooth, lush, plenty of range, though maybe a little bright for some.







I used acrylic paint and clear coat with an oil-based marker and stencils for the lettering.

PSA: Rest-Oleum brand paint stinks out loud! It doesn't want to adhere to metal. I had to finish this enclosure twice and touch it up even after that.

Nice build!

Nice build! What reverb chip is it using?

[Aleph Null]

It uses a Spin FV-1. It's an SMD chip, but BYOC will solder it for you if you like. It's my understanding there are other programs available on the chip. This circuit only utilizes the plate reverb algorithm.

Ran across your pics of this build on Flickr recently and was going to message you about it.
Looks great and I bet it sounds fantastic too. Your friend is a lucky guy!

Thanks! Initial reports from the friend are good. It was hard ship it after testing it. I might build another for myself eventually.

I'm surprised that you had trouble with the spray paints.  I use Rustoleum spray paint all the time.   
First, I sand the enclosure a bit and then I use the self-etching primer.  A few coats goes on very quickly.
And then the color coats.  Let it dry.   Decal.  Let it dry.  Clearcoats.  So far, I've not had any problems
with the paint not adhering.

BTW, very nice build !

I've used Krylon in the past with no primer and no issues, just another coat of color or two. Sounds like the right primer is critical for Rust-Oleum. The can says it adheres to metal...
