Purple Harbinger One

Hi All,

Here's my purple harbinger one.

This pedal just needed to have a Hendrix theme to it, being that he's my favorite guitar player and that one day I'm going to play like him... or maybe not ;)

For the basis of the graphics, I used the design that Jimi drawed on his famous monterey guitar. The leds were pretty hard to align with the decal, but I do like the final looks a lot.

The light shield is a used nespresso coffee capsule. I decided to use the 9V version so I socketed Q13 and finished using a MPSA13 witch did help with the intensity of the lamp. My first calibration was done using my oscilloscope so I can have the maximum amplitude of the lfo, but after a couple of days I ended up redoing it using my ears and can't be happier.


This is my favorite pedal so far, thanks Brian!

Very nice build. Aligning decals is always a pita, but you did a great job on that.
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.
