OSH - Slow Gear

[Bio77]

I was hoping for a violin type effect (hence the graphic) from this pedal.  Not sure it really gets me there.  Plan to build the Rustbucket next. In fact, people on this board suggested building the Rustbucket, but I couldn't resist tying this one first because the parts count was so low.

I've got an extra PCB, I'll put up on the PIF if anyone is interested.

Very nice build and great graphics!
Yeah I also built a slow gear clone from an oshpark project someone kindly shared years ago and was a bit underwhelmed... seems not as good a circuit as the Rustbucket promises (haven't built that one yet...) and others suggested that the slow gear can be a hit and miss circuit with mixed performance somewhat.

Even if the circuit wasn't what you were looking for, you can't deny that you built it up with style!

There are a few YouTube videos, and even then the application is very specific. It doesn't have a large application at all. I've built several myself. I built the rust bucket and then fried it using wrong polarity power.

If you're after a Shadows - Cavatina sound, Hank Marvin uses a volume pedal to slow the attack down on each note.

Very nicely executed build!

Yes, but that's not nearly as fun.
