Smallest doppelganger ever?

[LaceSensor]

Howdy folks

Back in the pandemic a friend asked me if its possible to make the most pedalboard friendly version of the Lovetone Doppelganger.
I challenged myself and came up with this build. I sacrificed the pedal controls, but honestly, could have added them I reckon.

Its a 1590BB tall. Not shown are some long solid core standoffs used for the pot mounting
Was an absolute swine to put together, the pcb is semi-floating of course as its almost exactly the same dimensions as the enclosure cavity.
Still, it works great, retains all the footswitching modes and sounds a beast.







With the proof of concept done, a slightly modified pair were produced for aforementioned friend, and pal of his.
These sacrifice the phase/vibe switch in favour of a toggle, and ditch wholesale the true/spectral bypass. The effect is essentiall hardwired on, so the LEDs are always pulsing in time with the LFO(s), and the red LED that normally shows ph/vb mode is now the bypass LED.

One of them was requested custom artwork with clear knobs, the other dude wanted crazy coloured knobs. Happy to oblige!

Wow, nicely executed.

Too cool.  You don't get the impact of how much is jammed in there till they're sitting side by side.

Reminds of the time I shrunk a Clone Theory for a friend of mine.  Some pedals are just too big and bulky to be fully useful.  Yours are practical and beautiful.  Excellent work!

I've been saving an extra-flowery portion of my vocabulary for builds of this caliber:
Gorgeous work!

Excellent again and what a tight fit! Love the size comparison shot with original!

Top work from the biggest Lovetone fan out there!
