Finally boxed up my build of Bean's fantastic Nautilus board. 

It started to rain when I took these pics, so that is what the little drops are in the pics.

Yep, a relay board lies beneath.  :-)

The art is amazing, great choice of knobs too! And the guts are super clean as always.

Looks like everyone is coming up with a solution to get rid of 3PDTs these days ;D Great job on that too.

Looks like a relic from some space opera. Effin' awesome.

Looks great Dave! Glad you got it finished up! How do you like the circuit?

As per every time, absolutely awesome, Dave! You know that I'm a huge fan of your builds and only by looking at the build photos, it is a lesson for me of what I can do better next time! But I'll never come even close to your results.  ;)

The relay board is a design of yours? And is that a SMD relay?

As with every envelope filter I've used, I am spending more time than I usually do trying to dial in the sound.  So far, I like it better than the mini one I built, but I don't feel I'm there with it yet.

Yes Hector, it is a SMT Relay.  Most of the remaining parts are on the bottom of the board.

I did do the board layout, but I didn't write the code for the chip.  One of the Function f(x) guys used to be in charge of chip architecture for one of the major micro-controller manufacturers, so it was pretty easy for him.

I see. Nice! It's great to have a member like that on Function f(x), to be responsible for the digital side of pedals! ;)

It looks both simple and complex. What are your impressions wise one? I feel the need to make one.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Still figuring it out, Jimi.  I played with it a while today and I am still not sure what settings are right for me.

Now, admittedly, I seem to have a hard time dialing in auto-wahs.  I used to hate them.  I now am opening up to them, but since they are a relatively new venture for me, I haven't found the sweet spot yet.
