Sharkfin

[fendman]

Hi, Finally finished the Sharkfin.

Sounds good... Really quacks on the filter side which I like, the S&H is funny I thought it reminded me of the music in the film Ice Age for some reason. Yes there is a wide range of sounds which I haven't heard yet so I have a bit of twiddling to do on the two presets.

The Ua741 ic's are out of another project which I have got problems with. I used them just to see if they were ok so they will stay with it now. The stomp switch LED is a tri colour, which I got from Rapid. It has anode and cathode just like a regular led....surprised me as I thought there would be a few leads on it.

The filter led is orange, it works only in the S&H mode. One thing I did notice..the S&H  is on the input side, it doesn't matter I just routed the leads across from the stomp switch to the jack. Just thought I would mention it as I didn't notice it at first until I had drilled all the holes.

Anyway there it is...a nice project worth doing, thanks Brian.

Very cool paint job on that.

Cool. When the pedal is off and if you turn on thr SH then do you get a loud thumping noise from the lfo. Thats what happens on my one

Thanks, I would love to be able to do a demo...I have tried before with Audacity, it didn't come out good. I just don't have the gear to do it. I would like someone to give a simple tutorial on it, I did try again this afternoon but it was terrible.

Very cool paint job on that.

Thanks Cody, I did it with cocktail sticks...I have done swirls and wanted this to be just a bit different and I was quite pleased with the result. My camera work doesn't do it justice hahahaa.

Hi, yes  I usually get 4-5 beats, its almost like tap tempo, but I get the plops and plings and the other sounds its quite comical. If you play something like "one of these nights" Eagles.. it sounds ok ish with that.

I love those swirly finishes.  Very nice.

Thanks fella

I am waiting for some new knobs as I have run down on them....Those three are off my first commercial pedal  I got in 1983...    An Orion  Metal Master  and it still sounds terrible  hahahaa  yes  it still works.

It looks great!  I noticed on the other sharkfin that was posted at the same time, a envelope / SH switch and yours doesn't, is that a mod or a feature of the build itself?
  To record audio, what I do is turn on voice recorder on my smart phone, record and upload to soundcloud or record straight into sound cloud with a microphone. No editing required.

Thanks Jimi, Yes you can use a stomp switch as I did or a toggle switch. I did order two toggle switches but decided in the end to go with the stomp. (To lazy to bend down, quicker to stand on it).

Whats a smart phone?? You won't believe this...my phone is so old it has no camera and it is Pay as you  go, no apps , internet, nothing...just a bog standard small brick. Now you know why I can't record demos.
 

Cheers
Mike
