Dirt Achievement.

Spamming you guys with this thing....





Here's a fully functionnal IDA Hydra Drive.

I've put it together pretty fast this weekend, should have socketed the clipping section... so i'll do that a bit later this week. Happy of what's coming out of it on the Blue channel (Modded BBOD) it's spot on what i wanted. The Green channel (similar to zendrive) i got to experiment with things.

Will have a clip of it this weekend.

Cannot wait to have my pcb.... this is hot.
(I'll soon have another Zendrive based od... muahahahaha!!!)

This looks interesting, where can I get more info if I wanted to build one?

[Stomptown]

Beautiful!

Thanks guys!

Those who have purchased proto boards of this, once you'll have the layout in hand, make sûre that you have measured everything precisely. There's absolutely no room for error, everything is à snug fit.

I'm super excited for this! What don't you like about the zen side and is there a drill template or did you eye it out?

Nice PCB layout. Love me some effective use of ribbon cable. Excellent.

I'll make my best to provide a drill template in time, i use my «analog» templates that are on paper.

For the Zen, in the Assymetrical setup i used 1N4148, the side that has 2 diode in serie, i sub one of the Si with an LED, it softens the clipping «edge» if i can say it like that, the other side is a simple symmetrical clipping layout.

I think that i will simply have 2 assymetrical clipping layouts, one being BAT41-46 with the LED and the other side 3 Si diodes, it will also even out the differences in volume, will also just use a On/On switch, Lifted position is kind a useless on this channel of the OD, but really cool on the BBOD side....

Is this understandable? lolol

Rej, This looks like a great project. I would love to get a PCB when they become available. The color choice is perfect for this build.

Hey let me know what Si diodes you end up using!

I may have said this before, but your "cross processed" photography look is the perfect compliment to you relic'd looking enclosures.

When I recently accidentally sanded an enclosure too much and started exposing the undercoat, I figured "What the hell, I will go for the relic'd look on this now."
Takeaway: Getting them to look as randomly worn as you do is harder than one would think! Mine looked exactly like what it was: A fake!

Hehe, thanks mate!

Having only a iPhone to take pics..... i must find stuff that will help my cause at some point. I seriously wish to be able to buy a good quality camera soon to be able to take nice detailed picture tho...
