Updated: Reactor - Baja's JVM with added eq - now with knobs AND video demo...

[Willybomb]

Gudday all, here's Reactor, which is Baja's JVM with marshall tonestacks added to the crunch and OD1/2 channels.

As the eq sections have an unfettered LPB1 after the controls to make up for any loss, I really need to run both on, or both off as the volume discrepancy is crazy.  Sounds great, *so* much wiring.  Think I might build something a little simpler one of these days.

Not sold on 4 footswitches in a DD, but putting the Mode on a toggle wouldn't have done this justice.  Need to replace the OD1/2 with a 4pdt so I can get the OD LED between the OD1/2 gain controls working when the pedal is switched to Crunch (currently it turns off when Crunch is engaged, but I want it on so it indicates which OD channel is engaged before I switch to OD from Crunch).

Really liking this with Lart's simple cabsim.  Knobs are on order!

Well. That's a project and a half!

Awesome, what a fab job! 
Graphics are very cool too! What knobs are you gonna put with that?

[Willybomb]

The knob choice is tough.  On one hand I want to keep the ergonomics of it all with the LED colours - blue for crunch, green for OD1, red for OD2, but I would also like to keep with the post nuke aesthetic of the graphic...  At this stage, 20mm aluminum for the drive and master controls, something smaller for the eq, probably plastic, maybe colour coded, maybe just black.

needs more wires imo

That looks awesome mate.  I vote for black aluminium knobs.

The knobs have arrived:

Looks fantastic with those knobs. I'm interested in that cabsim,  gonna do some digging on that one 😊
