Store Open - VFE available

[madbean]

The Store has re-opened. I will be getting a huge shipment of MCU on Monday so all VFE is back in stock. There are still a few Flunkee giveaway boards available so they are still shipping. However, the "one per customer" still applies (in case you already got one).

--------------------------------

I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas (or your holiday of choice ). My whole family was together for Christmas for the first time in almost 10 years. We had a great time and my liver hurts, haha.

This weekend I will be starting on the next batch of releases which will be coming out in probably 2-3 weeks.

Welcome back! Glad you had a great time.

I'll put in a build report, but it's worth noting that the Flunkee might be the first envelope filter I've built (and I've built a ton of them) that might actually make my pedal board.  It's not at all fussy about knob settings and has a lot of range.  I wasn't expecting it to be this good for some reason.

There is a mod you can do to make the envelope filter close in stead of open. I performed it on another board someone else, scruffy maybe, made a board.

Edit: nope, it's the dod 440 that has a reverse sweep mod.

Very interested in this mod. I've looked into it with some optical envelope filters and that seems to be a big overhaul. Implementation with an OTA envelope filter seems more doable.

The reissue DOD 440 isn't optical like the original...it's an OTA design so more similar to the FX-25. So, the reverse sweep mod should apply to the flunkee.

You can google the mod, I saw it earlier. I may try it.

You could try using an inverting opamp on the output from D2 (before R10 and R17). Don't know how you'd do that, though.

Update: MCU have arrived so VFE orders will start shipping out today or tomorrow.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.  Enjoy the Tri though, it's a fun one.
