Sir Robin

[pickdropper]

This one has been almost finished for months now.  I finally ordered the LDRs, so was able to sew it up.

This is a Nurse Quacky PCB done by ChuchBuick over at BYOC.  Nice board.

Like it!! (I just saw the film this weekend... again).

Clean and beautifull as always.

[raulduke]

Ha ha love it!

Neat layout too.

Saw Spamalot at the theatre recently.

Was a good laugh (and very, very sill as you can imagine).

That finish is great.

That doesn't look anything like a Nurse Quacky I've ever seen. it's got like twice as many parts and vactrols. Could you like to the schematic? I'd love to see it.

[pickdropper]

I believe Harold from Sabrotone did that version.

I'll get the schematic up later.  I don't have it on my phone.

A Sir Robin-themed build has been a long time coming! I think some of us tossed the idea out a long time back when eldanko did his Holy Hand Grenade build report. I love it!

Curious about this circuit as well as the Kraken. Off to read up!

Man, your builds are ALWAYS inspiring....

Hmm, it doesn't look like a Nurse Quacky at all.  I remember the ducks from Mark's original build, so I somehow got that into my head.

It's a derivative of the Mutron III and Meatball that Harold did.  You can read about it here:

soooo what you're saying is you fit this:



Into this:


And that some of us should now feel bad? 

[pickdropper]

Well no, not me.  All credit goes to Mark (Chuckbuick) for the board layout and Harold for the circuit.  I thought it looked cool and had never built an envelope filter so Mark was kind enough to send me a board.

Good luck fitting all of those knobs and switches into a 1590a.  I enjoy masochistic 1590a builds, but that one would truly require a Hammerspace box.

I'd be more worried about the six jacks! Anyway, what do you think of the sound?

I still need to dial it in for my tastes, plus I need to tweak the trim settings a bit.

There are some settings where the envelope doesn't open and close the way I like it, but I did seem to find some usable settings.  I haven't played around with an envelope filter in years, so certainly a lot of it is me just figuring out what  works for me.

Truly inspiring. I'm either gonna build a 1590a, or hunt you down and sock you in the nose....

My preference would be for option 1.

No worries, I'm a little... and I'm far too lazy for option 2.
